    No head lights....help!!!

    combo switch? I did try the wipers and they worked. Our ignition switch is getting *****y, and gets worse depending on how cold it is (meaning that sometimes it needs a wiggle for it to light the starter). It is supposed to warm up today. Do you think if I go home and the lights are working...

    No head lights....help!!!

    Short story, the vehicle is an 03 golf tdi 5spd. Lights functioned as normal last night. This morning there are no headlights, and no blinkers. You can flash the highs, but no constant on. The lows don't come on at all. The blinkers work everywhere if hazard system is used. It was dark so...

    Dead turbo cured!!! you'll never quess!

    Your exactly right. My lower cover is no more...it has been abused by its close proximity to the ground and was in such poor condition that I removed it. Maybe I'll go ahead and make that aluminum one I've been thinking about.

    Dead turbo cured!!! you'll never quess!

    Last week I had a huge power loss in my vehicle while driving home from work. I don't have a vag com so I couldn't pull the code. I did some digging on here and checked the Maf sensor by unplugging and going for a ride. That didn't help except that my wife and I noticed that we werent'...

    WTB: TT/R32 Spindles, Shine suspension parts

    thanks for the info indigo, but I believe that the h2sports lower your vehicle don't they? Ground clearance is a must for where I live, hence wanting to retain the stock ride height.

    WTB: TT/R32 Spindles, Shine suspension parts

    I have been reading for quite a long time here, but this is the first post in this forum I believe. We'll see if the info is in there now. I am looking for just the spindles/knuckles from the TT/R32 so that I can change my camber curves. I don't really have much interest in bigger brakes at...

    !!! All you guys with over 100k !!! change your lifters ASAP

    Could be... It could be true that the stock oil pump is sufficient. It could also be true that the oil he was running was sufficient. His pictures definately show that he ran out of oil in any event. Whether his oil was totally wrong for the app(my number one hunch), there was not enough...

    !!! All you guys with over 100k !!! change your lifters ASAP

    You guys are all missing the clues... Boost says his engine is modded. That means the oil is being subjected to higher thermal loading than normal. Like his friend said it looks as if they were starved for oil. They were. In addition to running too thin of a oil which the excessive heat...
