My Jetta 03 Wagon ALH is leaking oil droplets on the driveway. I can see there is some stain at the CCV plug into cold air intake. I tried to improve the joint with gasket sealant. I am not sure this is the source. Else there is oil around the turbo with drops accumulating on the exhaust...

I was looking to replace the 17/22 I brought from the US with a GT1749VB but the old 17/22 compressor housing is VNT22 like on VW T4, so my existing custom hoses don't match up. Would it be ok to just put the VNT22 compressor housing on a new GT1749VB or is it a problem that it is bigger? Thanks...

Hi, I installed a 17/22 from idparts about 12 years ago. It is kind of not in very good condition now. Does anybody know if there is a drop in replacement for it? Especially matching the idparts boost pipe exit from that time period? Not really looking for performance but a cheaper drop in, like...

Hi, I noticed these cuts and break up of the tread islands when I went to swap my winter tires today. The damage was mainly on the left front wheel and on the inside but also visible on all 4 tires. Dunlop Wintersport 3D. Could be one of the following, but not sure. 1) Age related. Tires are...

Hi, Does anyone still have these hoses with their Lift Pump working fine? I got a new kit with barbed hoses but have not put it in. I was just curious to find out how many people have had a problem with the hoses breaking up after sometime?

Got these Koni reds a while ago. The rear ones were shot last year - no bounce. The front ones still work but have major rust. Anybody have these with the complete paint cracking and falling off with rust underneath? Does the tower etc. hold up despite the rust or best to replace? These Konis...

Hi, Can someone tell me how the 313HP BiTDI MAF is connected? I have 3 pins on the BPP MAF. With just the ignition on, I measured Signal (5V) Pin1, GND Pin2 and 12V on Pin3. I believe the BiTDI MAF has 4 wires? I did the MAF linearization but somehow the pins locations seem to be different. A...

Hi, Quick Question. I was running 85mg/str with 2,8bar on BPP with stock GTB2260VK and was getting slight WOT smoke visible to driver behind but not to me. I raised to 2,9bar. Turbo sounds ok. I could not find the right compressor map for this turbo but any concerns at 2,9bar? It is pushing less...

Just completed the upgrade. Finally put in the GTB2260VK Turbo from the 3.0 TDI 059145722R in my 2,7 TDI which has the GTB1756VK 059145721F. From the VAG EKTA data it looked like everything would fit if the Y exhaust collector 059131799L was also replaced with the 3.0 Y collector 059131799R...

My original Rosstech HEX CAN USB cable started acting up. First the laptop had some problems finding the driver, although used before. After several attempts and downloading the latest version of VCDS it installed the driver. However the interface became intermittent. Initially VCDS would...

helped someone who came to Europe (Switzerland) for a year from Canada looking for a car with several kids. Just wanted to share a profile of what is kind of representative and available and what I found and what work was needed on this particular PD built in Portugal. Car looked good off the...

Hi, We bought a used 2001 Ford Galaxy (VW Sharan) PD AUY 115PS for my Brother who is in europe for a year. It has a few issues here and there but runs great. Right now there is a leak at the clutch master cylinder (CMC). I got started with replacing it. I was able to disconnect the abs block...

Changed out the Tie Rod Ends. One tie rod end from Moog i replaced in the US was rusted and didn't want to come off. I had to then get a better grip on the rod to take it off. The box wrench was slipping on the tie rod. I slightly modified the crow foot 13mm and got enough grip on the tierod...

I got a couple of new LCAs with ball joints installed to replace the high mileage creaking hardware. However the ball joint supporting bracket that bolts into the LCA seems to be deformed or have an unusual form. It makes the Ball Joint point more towards center and rear of the car. Is this...

Hi, I helped my brother remotely with installation of the stock navigation for his Audi A6 (didnt come with it). He needs one bit set in Module 19 with Vagcom in Calgary. Anyone who can help him? thanks! Ed

After 12 years couldn't get the old harness to work, whatever I tried. The casing also became brittle and started to break up. Replaced with a new one, only €35 in Germany. Despite all the howto threads, it seems on the harness all you really need to know is where the connector is. Someone...

I was wondering if any one had a good idea on what the waveform looks like on newer cars (but before LEDs) for driving the std. DRL bulbs? My understanding is that the DRL is driven by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) on my 2008 Audi for example i.e. on/off signalling and the duty cycle is used to...
