    I recently bought an '03 Passat GLS Wagon for what seemed like a good deal. It was 1/3 the price I was seeing for most anything else with similar miles. Well, about a week in I figured out why it was so cheap. So, here I am. I have ordered the Blaus enhanced+ timing belt kit, the enhanced valve...

    Selling my old Neuspeed short shifter that I had on my 98 Passat. It's for the early year Passat or A4 with the push down reverse. This will eliminate the push down and make reverse like the newer style. I've been holding out hope of picking up a B5 A4 or another AEB wagon but doesn't look like...

    I've got an intermittent problem with the radio I've noticed a couple of days ago. Sometimes when starting off traveling somewhere it would turn on but there would be no sound. I'll turn it off and then try again later and somtimes it would work for the rest of the day. Any suggestions to start...

    Does anyone out there have the JHM short shifter on a B5.5? They very particularly do NOT have the B5.5 listed on the fitment for the shifter on their site and I think I may have learned why. They only advertise an "early" (pushdown reverse) and "late" (no pushdown reverse) style up to 2001...

    Hey all, This is the first of several parts from my '98 GLX I'm posting for sale. I bought this for $200 around 2003 or so -- this was arguably the best shortshifter on the market and I still consider it the best mod I ever did. It completely changes the character of the car, and with no...

    Hi all - I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I almost had one. :) I was driving back from NYC on Thursday afternoon. I came off the light (not hard acceleration) and when it tried getting into the next highest gear (4th or 5th), it flared and never engaged. PRND432 was lit up and I...

    Hi Please watch the video of the first start after TB job. The Car has been sitting for 2 weeks apart for 1 week. AT 1:33 the SAIP turns off. It seems to be coming from the overhead/valvetrain. I reinstalled the belt exactly how it came off. It's about 1/2 tooth to the right (advanced?) just...

    Hey guys, So my short shifter came in the mail today and I have a few hours before I go home to install it. I recently moved into my own place, so no longer have access to the vast amount of tools my dad has. Perfect opportunity to grow my collection! Does anyone know what specific tools I...
