    Can't get outer CV off axle!

    I picked a couple of used axle shafts up. Already did passenger side and it wasn't bad but I'm trying to get the outer end off to clean, pack and replace the boot and it won't budge. I've got it in my vise and have pounded till I had to take a break. Any suggestions or tips are appreciated!

    Roof rack question

    Would a roof rack from an '07 Rabbit fit an '04 Jetta? The one I'm looking at is OEM, but doesn't have a key lock. I really know nothing of them so I'm a bit confused because I thought all the VW ones had key locks. Thx!

    changing tire size question

    I have done some reading and wanted to confirm my thinking. I am thinking about putting 195/60R15 in place of the standard 195/65/R15 on my 2004 Jetta. Why...the price is right:) Anyhow, I am thinking that this will throw the odometer off by 3%. Do you guys agree? Thx!

    Radiator support interchange

    Anybody know if rad support from other model/yr will work in an '04 Jetta GLS TDI? I get the impression they have different part numbers and it seems that the wagons are different and the support is different depending on engine. I did find an aftermarket on a site that called for the same part...

    Tuning for a BEW with auto trans

    I did some searching and couldn't really find anything on tuning an automatic BEW. Why do I want to do this: mild power increase, EGR delete and to cause the ASV to operate only at shut down. So, can the trans handle like a stage 1 or 1.5? Is what I'm talking about practical? Car is stock with...
