    I was planning to change my transmission oil today and got the fill plug off easy, but when it came to the drain plug it was all rusted up and stripped from only a couple of attempts. I already have a new drain plug coming in, so what is my best course of action for getting the old one off? One...

    I am doing a CV axle replacement and have read all the forum posts and write ups on this. I am very clear on the procedure, but am just having a sticking point with a triple square bolt on the axle flange. It's the last bolt I need to remove to remove the axle. I have sprayed all the axle flange...

    I've done a lot of searching around the internet and have been coming up short. Can someone give me an overview on which CV axles were used on which models and when? Here's the background: I just swapped my 2005 Passat transmission from a 01V GMR tiptronic auto to a 012 DUK 5 speed manual. My...

    Was looking at getting the triple gauge panel (VW Mk4 Triple Gauge Panel (Black) : USRT, Usually Sideways Rally Team) for awhile but I don't want to use VDO gauges. It says VDO gauges are the only ones stubby enough to not interfere with anything behind the dash... is that true?

    This weekend a friend and I dropped the transmission out of my car to do a clutch replacement. Fortunately he had a cheap set of triple square driver bits to get the front axles disconnected. We would both like a better set of these for future work. I would prefer something US made but I...

    For any of you out there that are as stupid as me and think you can get by without a triple square when it's called for. This is one of the screws the holds the rear lock module to the door. One bolt came out with a 6mm allen, but this one didn't. Needless to say, I had to dremel slots in...

    Ok so I bought this for the gauges I ordered (glowshift boost, oil temp, oil pressure). In their instructions it shows the mounting bracket for the gauges to be straight with the panel. On my gauges they are angled. So I'm curious what some of you did to mount it into the dash? Do you have any...
