    It is really difficult to cut the top portion. I've managed to remove the other end post-cat and replace the band clamp, cut the side of the flex pipe closest to the cat with a sawzall, but cutting the other side is damn near impossible. I've managed a cut most of the way through but the sawzall...

    Hi all, I have a 2008 1.9tdi pd (eng code bxe) that's driving me crazy. About 2 weeks ago while slowing down at a junction, the car cut out with no codes logged. I've checked and double checked all pipes, wires and connections related to the refitting of the engine and everything is fine. I have...

    When driving easy car runs great. If I open the throttle up so it starts building boost and RPM's it will suddenly act like the throttle shuts and then opens again. Usually around 5k. Any ideas?

    Hi all, I have a 2007 1.9tdi pd (eng code bxe) that's driving me crazy. About 2 months ago the engine ceased due to lack of oil to a big end. This wasn't a major problem and the crank was soon replaced along with the rod, all the bearings and everything necessary. It started up first turn and...

    Hey guys, I got a problem. I run a 98 V6 manual trans. I was getting on the highway to day and about to hit 4th Gear ~3.5K RPM and my car started cutting out. It felt like it was about to stall out. I thought it was a fluke and while driving in 5th started putting more on the pedal and around...

    This looks interesting, not sure, but it looks too long. Maybe it can be cut to size for a manual trans. :driving: Forge Motorsport | Alloy Fabrication

    I adapted my banjo key to my switchblade a few years back (bc I have a '98) and last week it broke off in my ignition. I had a $5 ebay switchblade blank and banjo blank. I called about 30 places around Los Angeles (locksmiths, dealerships, Loews/HD) and had a range of prices for laser cutting...

    Friends, I recently installed some xenon headlight bulbs in my 2003 Passat b5.5. There are quite a bit of posts encouraging people to cut the retaining spring clip, in order to accomodate the aftermarket H7 bulb onto the non hid headlight assembly. This information is WRONG, and its overly...

    OMG if I order a key from ebay and it is not cut then no one here in Memphis will cut it. If I buy online and spend 150 I can get a cut key with the fob, but that is 3 times what I would pay on ebay. If I go with dealer it is 200 for the samething I can get online...... Yes I'm more then...

    Earlier tonight id just set off in the car when it cut out. It would keep cranking with plenty of battery power but just would not kick into life. The glow plug light came on and off as usual. After a lot of cranking the oil light came on as did the starter warning. After a good few minutes it...

    Is it possible to cut your shocks to lower your car as opposed to buying lowering springs to retain the stock ride? Thanks.

    Hi I have a passat 2l fsi 2007 model. The engine is cutting out when it's hot. It will drive nicely when it's still not hot. It drives fine when it's open road but driving in traffic that's when the problem occurs. I get a p1063 fault code - lower limit exceeded. Fuel pressure regulation...

    Hey guys just thought about this and wanted some peoples opinions. I for one think lowering springs is the way to go but is cutting the springs really all that bad? Like besides it riding bad, does it make your car handle dangerously (lets say 2 or 3 coils off all 4 springs)? Lets get some...

    I know some spring makers do no advise cutting bump stops, but if you are lowered, cut bump stops make for a smoother ride. My sedan was .25" lower after the bump stops were cut, so it was riding on them with only a 1.5" drop. Stock front bump stop: Twist and pull apart: Rubber bump stop...
