https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/493869508399857 Sadly have to let this go, medical bills are piling up. Rocketchip stage 1 engine and tranny tune. Rebuilt tranny, new tires and brakes, rebuilt auto transmission. 12mo PA safety inspection. Hopefully the link works for pics and more...

So this just started to happen; been raining for a day or two, not quite freezing. Turned on the wipers, noticed a funny jump as they reached the bottom of the stroke. But working,,,,,,, until I tried to turn them off. And they wouldn't. Pulled over, the intermittent is going ALL the time...

Not sure if it's kosher to post this in the Classifieds, being a non VW. But iffen you'r interested, let me know, yes, I am associated with this, lol. https://lancaster.craigslist.org/cto/d/lancaster-jeep-2005-crd-diesel/7317359158.html

After installing my upgraded SMIC I've had a couple instances of limp mode. No particular rhyme or reason, seems to be out of the blue. First time I stopped, restarted the car, and off I went, no problem. Discussed the aberration with my guru, who suggested a quick fix. WITHOUT stopping and...

To my surprise, I've had problems with my KII Rosstech cable and the latest version of VCDS, 19.6.2. 2 of my laptops with Win10 , when logging in to adaptation, "drop the session". Leaving me unable to tweak my IQ, check the timing graph, etc. My 3rd computer with IIRC, an 18.9 version...

Looking to upgrade my ALH intake manifold to a PD150 in the interest of more and better air flow to the pistons. No intercooler upgrade plans, just use the stock intercooler setup. Important here to get the correct orientation on the intake elbow to the passenger or starboard side of the...

In the"Learn Something Every Day" department, my guru demonstrated the above. Use the key in the driver side door lock, and you can open, or shut, all the windows. Who knew??!! I couldn't believe it till I tried it on my car. {:o)

Not a diesel, but this guy has got my dream machine. Mild turbo on a boxer 6 AND an LSD. No affiliation whatsoever, lol, I really shouldn't troll through car ads. And it is after all a VAG group car. Now if we could put the Amarok V6 TDI in it,,,,,,,,,,,,, wowowow...

Looking for a set of 4, with or without injectors. I need some more fuel for my recently added 17/22 turbo. Similar output nozzles considered. Cheers, R*2

I managed to score a VR6 swaybar off CL for silly money, and for another $5 got a pair of adjustable links. My guru reckons there's no need unless I'm going to set up the car for a circular track or the like. I'm looking to stiffen up the car for towing, the "new" bar is about 3mm thicker...

So I'm eyeing off getting one, and had a chance to peruse the 2 volume set, 1999-2005, that includes the PD. Obviously a great resource and something I need and would use. But there is a smaller and cheaper version that covers the 1999-2000 Jetta and Golf. Both versions cover the ALH TDI...

From what I can glean from trolling the net, the big difference between the 2 types of the 764 nozzles is that the PP has 7 holes while the "new and improved" DLC764 has 5 openings. Slightly increased overall flow (87%>103%) on the PP's, but to my surprise I find that DBW lists both as being...

Saw this by the side of the road, here's the ad: https://lancaster.craigslist.org/cto/d/vw-thing/6277030323.html

I'm looking for the cast iron manifold and housing for a hybrid turbo build for my ALH. Whatcha' got lying around? Cheers, R*2

So I've got the turbo from my MkVI, replaced at 100k with a CR170. Sadly deceased after being rearended in a construction zone. With the payout I've acquired a nice "02 that I'm gradually working up. I'm considering a VNT17 for the ALH, but wondering whether or not it's feasible to somehow...

SOLD! Just got my swap done. Tranny has 137k on it and was running fine when pulled. I did a fluid and filter change when I got the car at 123k and drove it, shifted it, into neutral at the lights. Shifts great, for those looking to get some more life out of their vehicle, this is a cheap...

Ladies, Gents, Gurus, & Popcorn Gallery, Preparing for my auto>manual swap, and I've got the above transmission in the shop (aptuning.com) for installation of a Pelonquin LSD and a .658 5th. I've got a couple of other mechanics capable of the nuts and bolts of swapping the transmissions etc...
