Installed the seat and anchored the belt. Had to give it several tugs, got it to work. Thank you all for great advice.

Thanks snakeye. This could save me more time and aggravation.

Resurecting the necro thread... I am in the process of swapping the interior ouf of a GTI. The center seat belt was missing from the GTI rear seat (or so I thought until I undid the upholstery). It was there but the seller probably did not know how to remove the seat belt and simply cut it. I...

Thanks for the pics. Good job on the stitching.

Zak, do you mind sharing pictures of your wrapped steering wheel? I’m looking to wrap my 4 spoke. Wrapped a steering wheel in my Bricknose F150 because it was on the thin side but end result was 50/50…

there is a lot of talk about EGR removal on FB TDI forums. ASAIK it deleting EGR will not affect mileage and in my research it appears there are only positives to deleting the EGR such as cleaner intake, etc. I am considering deleting it, are there any drawbacks I should be aware of?

Got one incoming. Thank you all.

Anyone in San Fernando Valley/Conejo Valley/Ventura have a set gathering dust? text or call me 424.644.6161 thanks

local pick a part may be a good place to check

Great call, thanks

It’s a head seal. Tech at my work will do the work, Bosch seal kit incoming today or tomorrow. He can do the timing belt but needs the tools to hold cam shaft and injector gear in place. I will do my research tonight and see if I can get him all the stuff in time. He’s done timing belt on a TDI...

My trusty 2003 tdi developed a fuel leak. The tech at the shop I work at pinpointed the leak to the injection pump. looking up this issue on the forum lead me to AndyBees great writeup. Question, does any portion of the labor involved in re-sealing the injector pump overlap with that...

thanks for the info. How would going to 16” wheel affect fuel mileage? Is it all about the rolling diameter?

Following up on several threaSD including that of Peter Pyce. Here’s a bit more info on my application: TDI is a 5 sp manual, does commuter duties with an occasional canyon run, stock 15” steel wheels (may go to 15” alloys at some point in time). Bought the TDI as an economy/budget...

Came across this thread while doing research on shocks/struts. I have 147k miles on the Mk4 3 door, shocks are shot. I travel smooth So Cal roads, would like to improve the handling, comfort ride is not of utter importance. Going through this forum I gathered keeping stock height is paramount...

Looking for a set of 2003 TDI owner manuals. Were originals TDI specific or general model specific?

Thank you for such an informative reply. The reason for original post is that California gasoline contains ethanol. Those running carbs or plastic tanks (I’m mostly referring to motorcycles) have to use additives to absorb evaporated moisture. Otherwise, plugged up jets and/or deformed gas...

Wanted to see if Wild Rose Motors in Whittier is still the place to go to, or if there is anything closer to San Fernando Valley/Conejo Valley/Ventura offering similar quality.
