    Hi all, I'm working on replacing parts on my newly-acquired W8 one by one. Tonight's project was to replace the faulty door lock mechanism on my driver's side door. The swap went fairly smoothly and the new (VW-OEM) unit is now working perfectly as it should. One weird thing though is that...

    Started the cct replacement, pcv revamp, and vc gasket today. Not. Going. Well. For starters, don't try to replace the pcv system with the intake manifold still on. Just don't. I have small hands and it was a huge pain in the ass. Removing manifold would've been quicker. Secondly, I'm an...

    So, I am driving through the rain and sleet yesterday and this guy flashes me. He drives up at the next traffic light, and tells me both my tail lights are out.
