• The TDIClub classifieds section is a heavily trafficked section of the forum that encompasses want-to-buy (WTB) and for-sale (FS) threads for the entire world. Due to the demanding nature and fast pace of this section, it is imperative that you know and understand the rules. It is also important to remember that this is the only parts classifieds section.

    Cross-posting and posting classifieds in the regional sections (except the dedicated thread in Ontario) is not permitted.

    Multiple items should be sold in one thread. Make sure to provide a description for all items in your post along with pictures and prices. If you start multiple threads with individual items, they will be locked or combined at the discretion of the moderators.

    Here is a quick outline of the classifieds section rules. If you don't follow these rules, you subject yourself to thread deletion, thread combination, infractions, or posting privilege revocation.

    Thread titles:
    • Put FS or WTB in your thread title. This will let other users know if you are selling or buying.
    • Briefly describe what you are selling. Thread titles have limited space. Be as descriptive, yet succinct, as possible.
    • Put your location in the title.
    • If space allows, put your price in the title

    Title example (single item): "FS: 2004 Mk4/BEW cylinder head - Portland, OR - $500"
    Title example (multiple items): "FS: MK6 fog lights, front bumper, headlights, grill - Detroit, MI"
    Title example (car part-out): "FS: Mk3 Jetta parting out engine & interior - Dallas, TX"

    Thread text descriptions and pictures:
    • All for-sale threads must include pictures of the items that you are selling. One picture is sufficient, but multiple pictures with different angles will help buyers. A picture is worth a thousand words. If you don't know how to post pictures on TDIClub, see this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=286691
    • All for-sale threads must include a description. We don't charge per-word, so be as descriptive as possible. The more information you can provide, the easier it will be for buyers.
    • All for-sale threads must include a price. Auctions and bidding are not allowed. If you want to auction something off, use eBay.
    No picture, no price, NO SALE!

    Thread maintenance/updates/bumps:
    • When you sell something, update your thread with "SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title.
    • If you have multiple items for sale, update your thread as each item has been sold. When everything has been sold, updated the thread with "ALL ITEMS SOLD!" Moderators will close the thread and update the title when all items have been sold.
    • If you bump your thread, please delete old bumps by clicking on EDIT and then deleting the old bump. This will reduce clutter in your thread and make it easier to read. It also makes you look less desperate.
    • If you drop your price, please update your first post in addition to posting the new price. If you would like the thread title changed, click on the report post icon and let a moderator know what you would like the title changed to.

    Moderator intervention and infraction points:
    Moderators will be monitoring the classifieds section. If a moderator determines that you have not been following the rules listed above, corrections will be made and infraction points will be assessed to your account.

    What is an infraction point? Simple - it's a system of keeping track of user behavior. A moderator can assign a point value based on the severity of the infraction, as well as an expiration date on the points assessed. If you accumulate a certain number of points, the system will auto-ban you for a predefined amount of time. The more points you accumulate, the longer your ban period will be.

    One example of points is as follows: multiple threads will be combined into a single thread, with the number of infraction points assessed corresponding to the number of threads merged. If we merge four threads into one, then you will be assessed four points that expire in 30 days. When you reach five points, the system will auto-ban you for one day.*

    *This is an example based on the current infraction system structure. We reserve the right to modify the infraction system at any time without notice or updates to this announcement.

    Thank you for your cooperation, and good luck with your sales and searches! :)

Jetta Mk IV OEM Plastic Sound Dampening Plate and Side Skirts

I want to start off by saying, if you can afford a Dieselgeek, Evolution or OEM metal skid plate, get one. I bought the Dieselgeek skid plate with Full Metal Jacket, and that's why I have the following available:

For anyone who wants to replace the OEM plastic sound dampening plate and/or OEM side skirts, I have a set in very good condition. There is a slight crack in the plastic on one side skirt (approx. 2 inches) towards the tip that should be simple to glue back together. There are two tears on the plastic sheeting over the sound dampening foam on the inside of the plate. These are non-structural, and can be patched up easily with duct tape or electrical tape. Gaffer's tape might be best, since its adhesive is more temperature resistant, if memory serves.

Lowest prices I've found for new pieces are ~US $140 plus shipping. I'm asking US $60 + shipping for the set OBO. I'm willing to sell them separately, but the side skirts will only be sold separately after an offer has been accepted for the main plate.










get one










The crack is visible on left side skirt, bottom end in both pictures. If you'd like a close-up, or a copy of the original pictures (approx. 3000 x 2000 pixels), let me know.

Price change and package deal: I've reviewed what some of the other pieces have been offered for here on the forum and want to bring the price more in line with the 'going rate.' The set I'd be happy to sell for $60, or the main plate for $50. If the side plates are sold separately, I'd need to sell the set of them for $15. I really can't sell just one -- who knows when someone else will want just the other one? :)

All prices are without shipping.

Honestly you will be lucky to sell the center for $10. The sides you have hope for since they can be used still with the metal pans.

Coalminer,

I did advise people to go for the metal pans if they can afford them. It's odd; it seems like every time I'm in a thread or reading a thread about belly pans or skid plates, you jump in (right after me, even) and tell people they're nuts to put a plastic pan on their car. I respect and partially agree with your point of view, but wouldn't it save time to just write one post and cut and paste it into any thread about skid plates? Just saying. :D

There is, in my opinion, a legitimate use case for replacing the plastic plate: if you have lost the original, and cannot afford a metal skid plate. Something may not be a lot better than nothing, but by definition, it is better than nothing.

I'm unemployed and trying to recoup some small part of what I sank into buying the excellent Dieselgeek plate. If you don't want to buy it, don't. Telling me "you'll be lucky to get $10" isn't very constructive, even if you're right, is it? :rolleyes:

Do still have this part

As I mentioned in the September 2, 2010 post, that part was sold and shipped nearly three years ago. I'm not a vendor, and only had the one part that was removed when I put on a skid plate.

I also no longer own the car this post refers to, as I sold it to my girlfriend and bought Snadam's 2001 Jetta.

You might try boraparts.com, ecstuning.com, or autopartswarehouse.com. The plastic engine splash guard runs about 50 to 100 U.S. dollars as a replacement part currently, from what I gather.

I honestly recommend a metal skid plate as a better alternative if you need to replace the part.

Good luck.
