    Chemical cleaning for turbo vs removal?

    This method cured my daughter's Beetle 1999 at 275000 km. It is been 2 years, and the actuator is still smooth and easy to move. When I did it, it was completely stuck wide open.

    $300 for an OEM Golf/Jetta windshield, plus $250 for a 2 hours installation and glue and tax (15.5% over here). Had a bit of rust on the upper corners of the frame, and he did a good cleaning and paint job before installing the new one. At any other place, you get no-name third party cheap...

    Went to the dealer for a new windshield on 03 Bora. Same thing tomorrow for 99 Beetle. Both, at different place and time, received a rock that almost went through the windshield.

    What did you do to your car today?

    I have KYB AGX on my 2003 Jetta. Combined with GLI springs and RSB, they are perfect. What I really like is to be able to easily adjust the rear stiffness when I have heavy things in the trunk, or passengers in the back.

    Quand enlevez-vous vos pneus d'hiver?

    Ma fille (Beetle 1999) à l'université Laval, jusqu'à la fin avril. À la maison, je garde celle de ma douce qui roule le moins (Beetle 2006) sur les snow jusqu'à la mi-avril pour les surprises. Les autres, c'est fin mars.

    OEM wheel database now has 120 rims!

    Hakunamatata's are 42 and they fit perfect on my 03 Jetta. Unless your 43 are 8 inch wide with 235 tires, they will fit ok.

    What did you do to your car today?

    My 03 Bora DM flywheel completely digested its springs at 86000 km, and brought the transmission with her, releasing the end shaft bearing from the casing. Replaced the trany under warranty and made the dealer put the G60/VR6 combo I had in stock. No more problem.

    What did you do to your car today?

    During the last week, installed my GLI ecode with leveling motor on the Bora. So much height adjustment, it goes from a bit to high, to way to low. I know it is supposed to be adjusted when the pot is at 0, but I'll keep it that way. Also installed a 42DD pillar pod with VDO boost gauge. Love...

    timing belt

    Mes deux ailes avant (Jetta 2003) ont été changés gratos en 2009, et j'en ai aussi une que la peinture commence à décoller sur le bord interne de la tole. La peinture d'un débosseur n'est pas comparable à celle d'origine. Le problème avec la garantie contre la perforation c'est que tu dois...

    What did you do to your car today?

    Finally took the time to wire and install the rear fog on my wife New Beetle 2006. Not the round one, the newer long one. Picture to come. This was been sitting on a shelf for two years.

    Chemical cleaning for turbo vs removal?

    My VNT was stuck open and was hard to move, even with a 5/8" open key on the lever end. I used this method and it is still moving easily after 1½ years. So the "only to be followed with more of the same" does not apply to my case, and to the majority of those that have used EO. Have you read...

    Sold the Lexus CT200h, embraced the '12 TDI

    The visibility of almost all options can be switch on/off by long coding with VCDS. Looks like there are no standard out of factory coding.
