    Timing belt slipped! Crap...

    I started working on a timing belt replacement in my 2007 GTI today, but I ran into a(nother) small problem. Something broke off of the upper timing belt cover, unbeknownst to me, and fell into the tooth of the belt. As I was turning the crankshaft sprocket to get the camshaft to the TDC...

    Lifting up a lowered car?

    I recently bought a 2007 GTI. The previous owner put new suspension on it, however this lowered the car by a few inches. I'm now unable to get a floor jack underneath to raise it up. Short of a car lift, what are my options?
