    I'm in need of some advice from someone who KNOWS loctite. I'm rebuilding my k03 turbo and directions call to use loctite 573 where the backing plate and compressor housing meet. Loctite 573 is pretty expensive ($65 cheapest). My question is, is there a substitute I can use? Maybe loctite...

The window rolls up and down perfectly when the button on that door is used and also when i try lowering the windows from outside with my keys. So what could cause that only control not to work i mean the...

    My '02 1.8 T 5 speed has recently developed a reluctance to start. I turn the key and the dash lights do their thing, but the engine does not crank, or cranks after a period of inactivity. Once it cranks, the engine seems to start normally. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a...

    A lot of people have been going with the ECS Ultimate Timing Belt Kit, I've noticed. I, for one, am simply not confident enough in my abilities to start taking apart something that can literally destroy my engine if I get it wrong, so I'm going to have my local dealer replace all of my belts...

    Bizzare? I was standing outside of my Passat talking with a friend and hit the unlock button. We kept talking. The doors re-locked themselves after a minute or so. When I tried to use the remote to open them a few minutes after that, it didnt' work. The little red LED light still works...

    Give me some input on a replacement turbo please. I have an 03 1.8T (obviously) that just got its 20K service. They tell me the turbo is going (likely the bearings) but is still producing enough boost to get me around as long as I don't cram on it. They are ordering a replacement that should...
