    Turning in with either an ECU or DSG tune

    Has anyone been able to have removed a DSG or ECU tune on their car prior to turn in? This with the plan to (for some fee of course) have the tune put on their new car.

    Flashing glow plug light

    Driving on the highway at 110 with the temperature dropping from 0 down to -8, and the glow plug light started flashing continually. Car felt like it had no boost - difficulty going up hills etc. Had another bit to drive to get home, and didn't want to risk turning the engine off and on to see...

    It's time for me to get something bigger. Looking at a 2011 Tiguan. I'm wondering what I should expect to get for it - either as a trade in or selling privately. I don't trust the dealer too far to tell me what it's worth. 2004 Golf TDI 4 door. 130000kms. 5 spd standard, A/C, cruise, heated...

    Vanagon engine conversion

    Does anyone here have some good tips on converting an '86 Vanagon to a 1.9TDI or 2.0 VW engine? I'm assuming that an auto recycler would be the best place to find the engine and necessary parts. The conversion would be happening in St. John's, so avoiding shipping costs would be a concern.

    Terminal Release tool

    Does anyone locally have a terminal release tool available? I'm wanting to do some wiring right now and don't want to have to wait to order a set in from the USA. The specific tool I'm looking for is the "junior" VW size such as is found on dash panel switches & heated seat connectors. Thanks, Rob

    Broken driver's window and Steele

    The wife just called to say that her driver side window fell and couldn't get back up. Told her to call Steele VW and see when they could get her car in. They told her right away! I'd call that good service. It'll be even better if this falls under the recall. Maybe she'll even wander around and...

    Winter tire change over problem

    So I figured that since snow is finally in the forecast, I'd put my winter rims on. All went well until one of the "tuner" bolts wouldn't come loose. Looks like the inside thread is stripped. I'd rather not try and heat treat the bolt as it would end up making the rim look like crap. Any other...
