    Interesting MPG Gain From Plastic Skid Plate

    Hello, I wanted to share something I find amazing. I know that air resistance is a huge MPG killer. But I did not realize that the undercarriage had such a large impact on mileage. I took off my plastic OEM belly pan in the fall when I installed the DieselGeek skid plate. It was off for...

    Price Point Punch or Fuzzy Math?

    Hey Guys, I wanted to post something I found out tonight. Perhaps this is well known or has been explored before, but none the less I felt compelled to share. Tonight I stopped by my local VW dealer to settle my mental battle once and for all. I have been arguing with myself over whether to...

    Diesel Geek Plate Install Review

    Hello, I wanted to post about my installation of the Panzer skid plate. It went smooth and took less than two hours. The only issues I had, which were minor, were that there were no covers on the studs on the frame rail. My studs were not even fully threaded, but had partial threads but...

    WTB OEM 16" x 6.5J Bioline rims with tires

    I am looking for the subject rim package, with TPMS, for my wife's 09 Rabbit. We like the look of the rims, and they match my Jetta's. I will drive up to 350 miles to pick them up.
