I apologize for all these threads I'm starting. It just seems my car is liking to fall apart this week. This definitely has to do with my heater core because I looked at the pipes and they are covered in coolant. Would you guys suggest removing the hoses and doing a small reverse flush with...

Tragically, my Passat 4Motion GLX Wagon met its maker last week. I removed the Panzer Plate that I bought in February 2014. In memory and honor of the departed Passat, I am offering it here cheap. It is still in great shape, just some scrapes and road grime. I am including some fresh...

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...

I bought some used Nex coil-overs off of a fellow forum member and I have to say I am pleased with them. They may not be the best quality coil-overs out there but they do the job and they were a fun project too say the least (First time installing coil-overs). I don't have a skid plate currently...
