Hi all, Thanks for the advice, instructions, and recommendations over the years. I highly recommend L & M in Brooklyn, NY. Bill Roth is exhaustive in his questioning and analysis, and more than fair in his pricing. In all, I had the timing belt replaced (and all that goes along with that), the...

I have owned the car for 4yrs. I got the car with 132k it now has 141kmiles. Car was involved in a small accident during the last years winter storm had to replace the hood. Everything on the list below was done during my ownership unless otherwise specified. I have receipts for most of the...

Ok, my car got the p1100 issues occasionally, and rattling noise, which I suspect it was the time to change my cam shaft chain tensioner. And I think I might not be able to do it all by myself, considering this has to open up the valve cover. So I went to a shop I trusted as always. They did...

Have my original geniune 15" Wellingtons...set of 4. These are 7Jx15H2 ET37 with 5x112 bolt pattern. All true. No bends. They aren't the prettiest things to look at with at least a little rash on each but they'll make a good winter set. Upgraded my brakes and can't use 15 inchers any more...

Set of (4) genuine VW 6Jx15H2 ET 47 steel wheels with 5x112 bolt pattern. Asking $20 for the set. All true. No bends. Only blems are where weights were removed. Upgraded my brakes and these wheel will no longer fit. Otherwise they're in excellent condition. Used for 3 winters. Bought...

Hey guys Im running a Stock height 2003 GLX WAGON 4motion with 225/40/18, interested to know what are the thickest widest tires I can throw on. I also would like to put spacers to get a flush look. I've got Detroit GTI rims on now if that makes a difference. I was just admiring how thick my...

Looking for dub meet location and meeting time in nyc 5 boro area

Hey, I have owned a 2005 VW Passat for over a year now. The car is great; I have not had any major issues with the car. However, there is one very annoying and tedious problem with it. The link below is what I am referring to. Next to the drivers seat, the leather siding of the car is...

I'm leaning more towards selling than not, so rather than look at the wheels stacked in my garage, I'll just post them up and see who wants them. Specs: 18x8 5x115 37mm offset 57.1 center bore The wheels are off my car, have been washed, and are awaiting a minor detailing to clean up some...

I bought this kit in September 2012 and received it in January with intensions of installing this spring. I then picked up another vehicle, so lost interest in modifying the W8. I waited 4 months to get these. No one in the US stocks them and the only people that have them listed at the moment...

Sometimes I just hate the hell out of living in NYC. I had my '02 Passat serviced and tuned up in Jan., drove it 14 hours straight, and have had zero problems since. My check engine light came on and the damn machine says something about the catalytic converter and a misfire error. So, now I...

SOLD!!! Cliff Notes version of the story...... I have a set of these on my W8. After dealing with a slow leak for about a week from one tire, I come to find out my wheel had a 1" crack. Thinking the worst, I freak out and went on a hunt to get a replacement wheel, to which I discover is NLA...

Fairly new meet I went out for the first time last week. It's on Fridays at the Friday's parking lot near bay plaza from 9pm until whenever. I was the only passat there so I posted this to see if I might get some company.
