    time to replace tires

    Its time to replace tires and would like feedback on which tire to choose. The car came with 18" Dunlops (sp sport 01; all seasons?) and I liked them overall. They take corners well, don't seem too noisy but they do skip a bit (wheel hop) when roads are wet. Any recommendations?

    Misfiring [CEL Diagnostics]

    My car started (what seems like) misfiring yesterday and the CEL light also lit up. I called my dealer and they want $145 for diagnostics (to start). I know I don't come around the forum much but if anyone in the Toronto area with Vagcom who can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Carbon Fiber Fenders

    So I need to replace my driver side Fender and it turns out aftermarket fenders (CAPA certified) are at least $150 (VW one's are $240) and then it'll cost at least another $300 to have the fender painted. Since one fender is going to cost $450, I am thinking about picking up a pair of Siebon CF...

    Radiator Support Repair (glue)

    What's everyone's opinion on repairing the radiator support? The entire part seems to be made out of plastic. I got into a fender bender and after dismantling the front, I noticed that part of the small extension arm had snapped as well. I'm thinking about using a plastic epoxy repair kit and...

    So now that the APR Fully Loaded Stage1 sale is back... I'm thinking about getting my car flashed at Railside Auto (1345 Lawrence Ave E, Toronto). I spoke with Sam on the phone and he said it'll be $600 cash. I'm just looking for opinions on the shop, if anyone's been there before and can...

    Auxiliary Cabin Heater

    The other day I was reading an article about factory aux cabin heaters for MY10 Corollas and just today I came across a random vdub fan site where the poster alleges we also have aux cabin heaters but are factory or dealer disabled. Anyone know much about this? Did VW decide to remove the...

    front door minor damage: won't open

    So today my driver's door failed to open. Apparently ice is frozen between the body of the car and the door which has lead to a bent lower corner. Anyhow, I went straight to the dealership to show the damage and asked about warranty coverage. As it turn out, there's a recall/notice/bulletin...

    Key-out Headunit operation

    I recently accidentally discovered that our headunits can be powered on after the key has been removed from the ignition. Now I'd like to know if there's a way to program to vehicle to keep the headunit operating after the key is removed. I'd love it if they can continue to operate after the...

    Hub Centric Rims... MUST or NOT?

    Quick question for the gurus. How important is 'Hub Centric' for aftermarket rims? Of course no aftermarket rim can be hub centric, sine they're designed for multiple applications. Therefore I am assuming that it shouldn't be a major concern/safety issue if the rim is not 'hub centric'.
