    How well built and reliable is your car?

    Really? How many times has it been in for non maintenance issues? How many times have you had a CEL? How many times has it left you stranded? Mine: Owned since 8/10/10; 1280 miles. 29,294 current miles. Never a CEL. Never left me stranded. Been in for: • TPMS Recall • Footwell Vent...

    OEM Alignment Specs

    I need the OEM Alignment specs. Something's off with mine, but I haven't hit anything. Car has 26k on it, and it's never shown any signs of needing an alignment until recently. My right front tire, came off the right rear or left rear (Had wheels installed and used the tires I had), is...

    Leaky DSG?

    I was changing my oil today when I noticed what seems to be remnants of a leak from the DSG case. Called the dealer right off, and the Service Manager answered, he said it didn't seem like a huge concern, just one we need to check and watch. My question is, before I drive 100 miles to the...

    OEM Jack Pad Kit.

    Has anyone used these on the Mk6 yet? ECS lists them as fitting a MkV, but not a Mk6. Obviously they are the same car, so it should fit. But ECS is not the kind of company you order things from without knowing, from past experience at least.

    Rusted Rear LCA at 18,500 miles.

    The Left Rear Lower Control arm is rusted to the point that the paint is flaking off. It's rusting from under the paint out, there are no scrapes on it. I realize I live in a salty climate, but damn. Right rear is perfect. Warranty?

    Might pick up a MkV Jetta.

    I'm looking for a project. I don't want anything old. I found an '05 MkV Jetta with a little over 100k miles on it in Florida. It looks to be a base with an auto. Which is the tip, so it's not a huge deal to me. The car is $6,991. I'm thinking I can get them to $6,500 or maybe even $6,000...

    Dealer rant... you'll wanna check this one out.

    Let me start by saying this: This is not a bashing of this dealer, just a warning to other members and customers of some less-than-professional business practices. It all started when I took my GTI to Bob King VW, in Wilmington, NC, for a warranty claim on my wheel. It seems that one of the...

    Door noises.

    I've had some noises pop up from the upper rear part of the drivers door. It sounds like something in the panel? I'm not sure. It's definitely annoying as hell. Given recent experiences, I'm not very eager to take it to the dealer. Anyone else have these same noises?

    Where were you when the World stopped turning? The 9/11 Thread.

    Where were you when the World stopped turning? I was in my 6th Grade math class, watching a special on TV, when they broke in. Myself, as well as my classmates and teacher, stood there. Stunned. I literally could not move for at least 2 hours. It's one thing to hear about the first plane...

    Two part numbers for Huffs?

    I basically have a hodge-podge of wheels on my car. The front 2 are BBS Huffs. The Rear 2 are Ronal Huffs. The front 2 missed QC by a mile. The rears are perfect. The issue is: The lips on the two BBS's are pretty uneven. One is SUPER thick all the way around, the other varies thickness...

    Subframe clunk.

    I've had a nasty little subframe bolt clunk pop up. It's always when I'm turning left at 20ish mph. Same issue as the MkVs? Bolt that stretched? It's going in next week, but I wanted to be prepared.

    I'm a Mac guy through and through, and I have been for about 5 years now. I WILL NOT use a Windows Based PC for anything other than work, since that's all they have. Yes, this means no VCDS, but hey, that's why I know people with it! Current Setup: MacBook Pro 7,1 (Aluminum) 13.1'' LED...

    Glanz Detailing: '08 MkV GTI

    This car came to me by way of referral from a local forum. The car just needed a really good general cleaning, so it was booked for an Interior/Exterior Protection Detail. The customer dropped it off at my house the night before the scheduled detail. Before: DSC_0810 by edward.farmer, on...
