    MKIV Jetta ABS Issues

    I tried 3 different sensors with no change. It wasn't the sensor like usual. I also inspected the ring and it was fine. Wire was damaged behind the seat so I spliced in a new one just now and it looks to be fixed.

    Which is the Best Carrier to use for Importing Parts?

    Not sure where to put this, sorry if this is the wrong location. I am having some parts sent over from a UK based company to the US. I figured a few members here have some experience and could help me out. Is there any companies that I should avoid or a preferred company? I don't want them...

    I have a nice gray cup holder center console. I pulled it from a wrecked 2004 car and it doesn't have any damage to the mounting tabs that these normally have. It is gray in color, it needs a quick washing and I am traveling currently so it will be a bit before I can get back and take a...

    2006 with Tons of Crankcase Pressure and Whistling noise coming from the vent

    The turbo still spins. Its hard to get my fingers in there, but it does seem to have a little more friction than usual. Would a bad turbo cause the car to have excess pressure coming out? I was thinking the same thing about these not being a common failure. The oil pump was broken according...

    Frost Heater and Heated Seat Plug and Play Harness

    A few cold weather items for sale. Both of these make winter much more pleasant in your TDI. I have a lightly used Frost heater for sale. It came out of a 2002 Jetta TDI.

    Where to get Glass Lenses for MKIV Headlights?

    I would still recommend glass over the plastic. I have had the ones on my Jetta for several years and they look much better. They are very tough - keep in mind plastic will get sand blasted and break too. This is why I was asking about the Chinese ones being decent quality.
