Yep, and my beetle filming it :p I'll definitely check out the Hudson one! Thank you :)
There is also Hudson Auto Center in Hudson. Eric Merker is their TDI expert. Just off Exit 4.

Oh, thanks red! I couldn't remember the name of eric's shop. Thought it might have been autowerks🤷‍♂️. JHS.Media, I'd check out hudson auto, eric seems like a nice guy, and has been easy to work with in the past. I've never met him, but we've talked before and he knows his way around the tdi's well.

It used to be called Midwest Motorwerks, when Bob Cook owned it. Now I think Blake and Eric are co-owners, though it might be mostly just Blake. But they are definitely partners and mostly work on German cars -- Mercedes, Audis, BMWs, and of course Volkswagens. Sheridan also works in the shop and Cole mans the front desk.

Same, my wife would have taken away my internet privileges long ago if it wasn't that I make money off the stuff I drag home and sell. I need to stay off FB, CL, and upullrparts. Upull Rosemount has 4 alh's. Just got back from that harvest, the fields have been gleaned!

Which btw, if anyone needs anything I have a ton of parts here and at my parents! That beetle is almost full. I'm going to need another car to use as a shed if I add to much more to my stock.

how convenient, there's a white BEW bug on CL listed as a diesel rather than a tdi. $1k

I seen that. May need a bit more work then I'd currently have time to get involved in. Its a manual too! I love the white beetles, their my favorite.

Hey, I am wondering if any one has an extra front axel heat shield laying around. I believe that it is part number 1j0407721c . It is the shied for the passenger side inner cv boot.
Just thought I'd see if anyone had one they were willing to sell before buying one off of ebay.

Thanks
