Can anybody recommend a VW shop in the Twin Cities, Minneapolis / Saint Paul metro area? The closer to Saint Paul, the better.

It isn't the middle of winter up here just yet ... but yes I just bought myself a new 2012 Passat SEL Premium with the VR6 (last week) and so far I love it. I previously had the Fahrenheit Edition 2007 Jetta GLI (yellow), and previous to that a 2002 VW GTI (red). VW's aren't new to me, but I...

I am having some work done on my 04 Passat by these guys. Seems like decent place for service. In the Spring they did the APR chip upgrade on my 1.8T.'

Dear All, I haven't had much experience with shops in Minneapolis except for the Luther VW dealer (and that was a good experience). But, it would be interesting to check out other high quality shops that charge less. I am hearing some more clanking/rattling noises up front, and having taken...

Hi everyone! Its that time of year again. Registration is now open. :) I had been a bit wary of posting up until the venue was 100% locked down, but now it is, and here we are. The date for the show this year is June 25th, 2011. Hopefully we can top last years over 325 cars! Information on the...

SMSALZER 1.8T 03' VW Passat GLS Manual / Reflex Silver / 145,000+ Miles Well, I finally hit First Gear! :D I have been around this site since before i had my official license (even my permit!). I was practically given my Passat from my father for the cheap price at 1K$. (He bought a new...

2004 Passat 1.8T 54236 Miles Hello all. I bought my 04' Passat in may of 08. I absolutely love this car. I would like some input on some mods that i could do to it. Right now I'm looking at Wheels and tires, Cold Air Intake, and apr chip. If there is any one out there that has done these...

The following are some photos from the monthly "Cars and Coffee" gathering in Minneapolis (get togethers are the first Sat. of every month). These are from yesterday, 8/2. It's just a casual, unofficial gathering of enthusiasts - all makes are welcome. The thing started just a couple months...

Can anyone recommend somewhere that does good work? Also, it seems the law here is 50%. What tint do you guys have? Have any issues with tickets? Thanks!

Hey guys. I've got some timing belt tools I got stuck buying for an emergency project, and feel that they wouldn't be worth it unless more people use them, so now you can, for free. I have: 3391 -- Camshaft locking tool 3242 -- Crankshaft Locking Pin 3366 -- Camshaft Chain Tensioner Tool...

Anyone know of a good place to quickly buy or rent VAG tools 3391 and 3242? They are the camshaft clamp and bolt for a '99 2.8L V6 AHA. I've tried Blauparts, but because I don't need the whole kit they would need me to wait for a rental kit to become available. I've found some on Ebay, but...

i recently ordered the ecs tuning ultimate timing belt kit and lightweight crank pully. today i called around and the two places i called seemed kinda pricey, C squared was quoted around 400 for just labor, and sci wanted 480 for just labor? do you guys think that is kinda spendy? let me know...

As a relatively new Passat owner I can use some advice on where to find a good technition or shop for a battery drain. A reputable shop here in Mpls told me my driver's door mechanism had a short was causing my battery to go dead when the car sat for a couple days. They replaced the mechanism...

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to owning my passat and I'm not much of a mechanic. I've got a yellow check engine light on and my dash says,"Emissions Workshop". Any recommendations on a good place to take it where it won't end up costing an arm and a leg? I'm a little apprehensive about bringing...

Figured I'd update this since it's so old. Done many more mods since I last checked.... Also, I'm a sophomore this year (2009) at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. So I'm living here for most of the year besides summer. Performance: APR 91 Octane Chip Baileys DV N75J Valve High...
