    Service time came for my 2010 B6 2.0T. VW dealer asked for 800+ CAD, while Canadian Tire charged 100 CAD for just oil and oil filter change. Now the Service Now warning still comes on, as they want another 110 CAD for the diagnostic and reset. Has anybody bought an OBD2 scanner for around 40-60...

    HI, as stated, I have a 02 v6 4mo with broken coil springs on the front drivers side. Dealership quoted me a laughable price for all new strut assembly which is obviously out of the question as the car has over 170k on the clock. I see that gabriel and osc both sell complete strut...

    Any thing new out there for a nice "factory plus" head unit replacement? My stock lcd screen is completely faded. All I can see is the blue back light. It's not a huge deal since I use my phone via bluetooth for pandora but still just want to see if there are any new options out there since I...

    Planning on ordering some new mounts for my 1.8. Are there any recommended mounts over the factory? And are the Meyle mounts good or should I look at another brand?

    I have a 2003 V6. It has new within the last year alternator, battery, starter, ignition coils. Just replaced the manifold pressure valve or whatever it's called that changes the runner length, as well, but that does probably not have any relevance right now. The car seat to have a slow drain...

    So I'm looking to lower my 04 Passat Wagon 1.8T and need some advise as it's been a long (long-long) time since I've done any "tuning" and modifying cars. :( I'd like to get a pretty good drop, but don't want it "slammed" where it's hard to get up driveways, etc... I'd like to keep the stock...

    I've been using PBR/Axxiss Deluxe pads, front and rear, for years. I love 'em because of the low dust. So it's about time for me to change out the rears, but I can't find the PBRs anywhere. I have three questions: 1) Has anyone bought PBR Deluxe rear pads for the B5.5 series recently? 2) If...

    Hi all, I have a wonderful B5.5 4mo with about 137k on the clock, my flexpipes have detached from the entrance to the cat on both sides and the noise is absolutely appauling. My options from my VW guy are to either cut out the exhaust and weld on new flex pipes, or replace the upper exhaust...

    I am mentioning this only because I don't recall seeing it mentioned in any of forums dealing with misfires. It undoubtedly has been mentioned previously so consider this post as a reminder. I was having an "Random /multiple Cylinder Misfire" on my 1.8T and my friend (don't know what I'd do...

    I need suggestions on what intake, exhaust, and downpipe I should look into getting for my 2012 TDI.

    Hi all, on the advice of my neighbor I cut out the cherry bomb resonator that was in the car when we bought it. Replaced for the time being with a 24" straight pipe. I'm eventually going to replace that with a new muffler to quiet it down some. In the meantime, has anyone had any experience...

    My 2005 1.8T GLS wagon will need tires within a few months (sometime this summer). Planning ahead here. Interested in hearing of people's experiences/suggestions. Probably would go with an "all season" tire. Not a "summer" or "winter" scenario, although I'm in Dallas, occasionally will do the...

    Have a 02 passat sw with a 1.8t. For the past month I have smelled fumes in my cabin when the heat is on. Checked under the hood for injector seal leakage but it's bone dry. Also the cowl seal is in good shape. Of course when it's in recirculation mode I don't smell it but after a while my...

    I'm currently in the middle of a Timing Belt change (seconf one I've done on this car), and I've come to a grinding halt as I'm struggling with stuck allen bolts when trying to remove the crank pulley. I have removed 2 of the 4 bolts, but the other 2 are stuck and I may already be into chewed...

    Hello everyone :salute: I'm sure some have seen my previous posts concerning my coolant evacuation. It was happening all the time and I figured it was a bad head gasket so I swapped the headgasket and it fixed the problem; for a little while. Well now the coolant evacuation is back; but I...

    I have the original Monsoon, with cassette and a 6 CD-changer in the trunk. I disconnected the CD a while back, and added an iPod connection -- but that is 30pin, of course. Are there options for a new unit that will have a lightening iPhone connection or possibly bluetooth? I don't really...
