Hi all! My trusty (but increasingly neglected - sorry, old friend) 2005 1.8t (AWM) GLS 4motion Wagon is throwing a P0171 on my cheap scanner, and I was wondering if anyone in the Chicago area had a VAGCom to help me get to the more specific route of the problem? I am going to do a visual...

I needed help checking my car if anyone has a vagcom ?

Hi All, New here obviously, came across the board while googling looking for some help. My wife was driving my car the other day when it broke down. Apparently my EFM (Electronic Fuel Module) failed. I was told they are in process of issuing a recall, so I'll have to pay upfront (1,000) and...

Hi all I'm in need of a good shop in Chicago (need my flex pipe changed, and some vacuum line stuff). I searched around on the site, but can't find any threads that are recent. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!!!

I'm going to check this show out. It's on Saturday, Sep 3, in a Chicago suburb called Grayslake, a little ways west of the Tri-State Tollway (I-94). For those who know my rather unique VW enthusiast status, a purist that likes STOCK water-cooleds, I'm thinking this event could potentially have...

Does anyone know a place that can be trusted to install and set-up a differential correctly? I'm looking for someone in the greater Chicago-land area or surrounding areas. I have a Quaife ATB diff to go into an 012 5-speed manual trans. The last trans it was in broke a few teeth off the ring...

The other week the shaft bearing for the cooling fan exploded in my 04 Passat GLS. The failure was catastrophic as the engine compartment was showered with ball bearings and the shaft had a full inch of play from side to side. The radiator survived intact so I was able to cut off the...

Howdy, These have been sitting around for a while and are dusty/dirty. Rear cards don't have the door handle assembly as I needed to transfer these to my car. Pick up either Wed or Sat morning before 10:30 on the NW side of Chicago. If no one takes them, they're getting tossed. Thanks!

It looks like Chicago Volkswagen Organization won't be doing any AutoX events this summer. :( Chicago Volkswagen Organization - View topic - 2013 CVO State of Affairs Fortunately, Audi Club Chicago is still running AutoX, but those events may go away too if attendance isn't enough to sustain...

I'm considering buying it. Carfax says it was purchased at Autobarn and owned for 9 years. Looks like a good service history... My only concern is that the A/C was recharged twice and some A/C lines replaced, along with the front bumper cover. Not sure if there's a recurring leak or a minor...
