If anyone is parting out their Golf VII, I'm looking for a decent dull chrome trim ring that surrounds the center console DSG gear selector for my 2015 Golf SEL TDI. My trim piece is cracked.
The dealer wants way too much for this thing. I see them at AliExpress but don't really want to...

The correct battery size for the 2005.5 Jetta TDI with engine code BRM is 48H6, same as the 2006 Jetta TDI.
A few online databases incorrectly show the battery size for the 2005.5 Jetta TDI with engine code BRM as 94R. This one is about 1.5 inches longer than the 48H6 battery and does not fit...
Bummer for me but good news for those with 2007 and newer diesels. According to the sticker on the pump, between my last two fill-ups on 15 Mar 2011 and 3 Apr 2011 the last gas station in my area that sold LSD (low sulfur diesel) switched over to ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel). In the past...
I am curious if anybody has a locking fuel cap on their A5 Jetta TDI cars. Does Volkswagen sell one as an accessory? I am slightly nervous that somebody might pry open the little door on the side of the car that hides the fuel cap, open the fuel cap, and then either take out diesel out of the...

I changed the oil and oil filter 1,000 miles ago, and added new oil until the dipstick...

This morning I went to fill up and something nice happened. The station has about 12 "islands" each with a gasoline pump that dispenses gasoline on either side of the "island." The last "island" has a pump for either gasoline or diesel. At this last "island" the pump has two hoses/handles to...
