I just wanted to plop this here as kind of a place keeper, or point of discussion, for now. My car is a 2004 BEW TDI Golf 5 speed with 201k miles on the clock. I have covered many other areas with the car and I am slowly approaching the point to start modifying for power. What's my goal you may...

So long story short this pretty beat looking a3 TDI jetta popped up on my local Craigslist and the owner is asking $1,500. Engine has about 200k on it and it's a 5spd. Apparently has a fresh timing belt and coolant as well which I will ask for documentation of. The body is pretty beat but it's...

Yeah... It's a VW thing. I've been doing a bit of reading on the issue to try to pinpoint this but I need a little more guidance. I believe this is going to be coming from the rear passenger side of the engine as a small bit seemed to pour out from there last time I jacked the car up. Took the...

Located in Jacksonville, NC but I will be driving to Hanover, PA so anyone in between would be perfect.

So while driving on the highway with my cruise control set to 80 mph i've noticed that my cruise control deactivate as my car decelerate approximately 4 to 6 mph before re-engaging back to the set speed. He continues to do this roughly every five minutes. I don't think it would be a bad brake...

So here's where I stand. I am roughly sitting at $1,000 a month in "fun" money for my golf. It's a 2004 PD 5spd. First and foremost it needs a tb job that I have irresponsibly let slide for too long. This will be getting done soon and first. My overall goal so far is a vnt 17/22 turbo, colt cam...

This ones for you EGR guru's out there. Car is an 04 PD TDI Golf. So while doing my last oil change I did a visual inspection of my engine bay. that is when I noticed the following: It appears as though something has been leaking from the EGR. I inspected the U shaped clip and hose and...

Alright so I am pretty much at the end of my fuse with replacing my alternator pulley. I am following every direction to a T and I can not get the old pulley off. I have been using the metalnerd tool specifically to do this and I have been drowning the thing in liquid wrench but nothing is doing...

Went to jump a buddy's car today and he told me my engine mounts appeared to have been bad when a started my engine because it seemed to shake excessively. I figured I would take his word and start looking into other mounts but I started to get curious for myself because nothing seemed out of...

A buddy of mine was recently T-boned in his brand new 2012 Mustang 5.0 by a lady who blew a red light. Needless to say the Mustang was totaled. After showing interest in my TDI he is now in the market for a TDI as a daily. He is looking for a Jetta or Golf and it must be a 5spd. Located in Camp...

I am aware of the bentley maintenance schedule that can be found online for my 2004 Golf TDI but it only covers up to 105K miles. Well My TDI is creeping up on 145k miles and I am trying to put together my own interval maintenance schedule for my own records (and possible to assist others). I...

I just finally got around to taking off my 4 spoke steering wheel and decided to put on a 3 spoke wheel that I bought 6 months ago. The airbag does no seem to want to seat properly in the new steering wheel. I took it off and tried again, making sure all of the wires weren't in the way, and...
