How do you do that? 0.o
I hear ya. Did two on mine...the hard ones near the back. It's like they are made out of butter. I even had the correct bit and tools. I hope I never have to take that off again.I may have rounded out one of the bolts on the intake manifold. Those are so frustrating!
My sedan was tough to break loose, but once it was loose, it came out just fine. Everything around the EGR on the wagon is fighting me. I have 4 different 6mm tools I can use to get the bolts out, they just don't go. I stopped working on that. I need to wait for my manifold to come in anyway. I will get to work on test fitting other charge pipes, getting silicone couplers and a couple more runs of pipe.I hear ya. Did two on mine...the hard ones near the back.

Nope... my windows work like normal since doing the same mod.Programmed remote windows into the jetta so i won't be jumping straight into a oven during the summer and burn my rear on the leather seats as much.
Anyone notice when doing this the windows can be a bit finicky when they want to work?
The only thing I've noticed (both the 2003 Jetta and 2002 Golf) is that I have to be quite close to the car for it to work. Like, I can lock/unlock the car from maybe 20m away, but to do something with the windows, I have to be within probably 5-7m.Programmed remote windows into the jetta...

Unless the side you replaced was in an accident and banged up it is a really really good idea to replace ball joints and tie rods in pairs.Last week was Crank Position Sensor and Coolant Temperature Sensor. This morning I replaced the driver's side tie rod and ball joint. First time. Hard to screw it up with such ridiculously helpful walkthroughs like this one: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=812195
Of course, I did end up with an extra nut.... I think idparts shipped me two tie rod nuts and I used one on the ball joint. Any opinions on leaving it? Unlike the flanged OE nut it had nylon lock threads on it.
Not dissing Malone tunes at all,Loaded Malone stage 4 tune and installed 3Bar MAP sensor.
Wow, this is every bit as big of a change as going from stock to PP520 nozzles. My car is now comfortably faster than the 1.8 T form. Passing power is probably the best I have ever experianced in a 4 cylinder, 0-60 distance (not time though)is shorter than my BPU Supra, and drive ability/ power delivery is better than the 2014 CR.
I'm very impressed.
I've still have a supra, it needs to be re-asymbled. For whatever reason I've got no interest, but I don't want to sell it.Not dissing Malone tunes at all,
I would have kept the BPU Supra!!
Jus' me 2 cents....
