    accessory belt

    What is the length of the accessory belt? Specifically the alt/water pump belt? Advance, Autozone, O'reily and NAPA all have different lengths for that belt. I have the NAPA/Gates belt and it WILL NOT go on - at all. Measures 42.375in/1076mm

    Changing coolant

    I get that - I have a truck also and those vids are almost the same. If it holds say - 2 gallons - only like 2 quarts come out. I'll try it and see what happens. Might plug the cap and use an air blow ----

    Changing coolant

    Any good videos or advice about doing this at home? All the vids I see have one thing in common - they cant seem to get all the coolant out before putting in new coolant. Thinking that if I start the car with the bung open - maybe - but could cause problems when refilling... I've looked on...

    auto trans whackiness

    every once in a while, especially when it is really hot out - my trans 'acts' like it would in sport mode. Revs higher before it shifts blah blah But then - It only shifts to like fourth gear even on the highway at like 70 mph. Wind up putting it manual mode and shifting it that way. If I...

    Golf facebook pages

    Are there any FB groups/pages for US owners? I have found some for Europe, which really doesn't help if I want to buy some used parts or have questions I want really goofy answers for. I have a Tacoma also and use a few pages for info and used parts pretty well.

    Rear brake hack (maybe)

    So I was doing my rear brakes and stumbled on this.... after beating the passenger side with a BFH, I figured it just needed a bit more leverage instead of brute force. Since the space is limited/cramped I figures the lug wrench would do just fine. And it did!!!

    Importing Scirroco

    OK - so id like to get a Scirroco from Canada. Has anyone done this and what does it take to really do it legally? Or just get one and drive it anyway? I would get another Golf, but they don't have any more two door versions. At least that I can find. If I could find a new 2015 somewhere, I'd...

    Turn signal Issue

    So over the last couple of days my turn signal has been acting up. Works fine for the left---- When I use it for the right signal, sometimes it will work fine. Sometimes the left will flash and then the right signal will work. Sometimes it flashes the left signal - with the stalk in the 'up'...

    Horn beeping when I open the door

    I have a 2013 golf and today (I think) the horn gives a little beep when I open the drivers door. Doesn't happen with the passenger door or the hatch. What is the deal here? I'm sure she's trying to tell me something, just don't know what.

    removing the inside panel on the hatch

    How can I remove this? I got hit from behind and the shop that erm 'repaired' the hatch did a really bad job. I think they filled the dent with bondo and then painted it. I don't even think they pounded out the dent first. It looks like they sanded it with a cat paw they had laying around the...
