It comes and goes, but often I am only able to access the first post of a thread. the rest of the posts do not appear. :iono:

The rear wiper on my GTi has developed a mind of its own, it now runs continuously at normal speed no matter what control stalk position is chosen. Prior to this occurring, for about 15 minutes it worked when it should, however it moved very, very slowly. Then it would not move at all for about...

Thank you all for your kind words in the earlier post about my being locked out of the forums. I would have posted this there, but the thread is closed. Anyway, all of your efforts did achieve success, my access has been restored.

VW now makes an LED license light fixture (aka number plate lights) that mechanically fits the same as original, uses the same plug with the same weather protection as the orignal. When I found them on ECS, the price was outrageous. VW part number 1K8 943 021 B, ECS part number ES#2179129...

Background After about 80k miles - 2-1/2 years, my 42 draft design LED License plate light bulbs failed, by morphing to low power strobes, i.e. They started constantly flashing. :eyebulge: While the 42dd festoon bulbs lasted almost 10 times longer than the superbrightleds.com bulbs and the...

My original equipment Varta 60 ah / 480A battery ( VW # 1J0 915 105 AC ) began failing to hold charge 124,000 miles / 45 months after car was purchased new. For replacement, I am now debating between an Optima Red 35 or a Deka 70 - 9AGM48 - AGM Battery. Anyone have any installed or comparison...

FSI or TSI I am curious as to what percentage of regular posters here are running stock, etc. Meant to write chipped, stage 2 and more ... for that choice. I hope anyone beyond stage 2 is using the stage 2 choice, sorry for the confusion :wink:

I believe I have seen this VW accessory called a transboard too. Looked useful, but at aprox $180 was too much of a risk for something I was not sure I would like it. Now, ECS has the Golf / Rabbit Storage Tray on close-out for $28 + shipping, so I could not resist, as the risk is so small...

I was preparing an answer for another thread and ended up throwing together a drivers door card removal DIY from pics I had taken six months ago. Decided it needed its own thread instead of burying the response in a thread about a switch. :smile: reference: central locking button ---- To...

I discovered the Blesk / Maxlux LEDs when some VW owners in Europe posted about them - Brex buddy got them for me. Use two of these in the license lights - total $26 shipped in US - Plug and play - no resistor needed - simple bulb swap ... The packaging is labeled Blesk, the bulb is labeled...

Swapping the high pressure fuel pump this morning, bought a new pump ( 06F-127-025-J ) and cam follower before tearing the car down. Got the old pump out ok. Compared it to the new one - the pain in the a** triple square banjo bolt fitting is not the same.:mad: new pump on left - original...

Purchased the GTI new (102 miles) 21-Feb-2007, today is its second anniversary. I drive too much ... 2.0T FSI (BPY) consumes more oil than any car I have owned. Timing belt time. Brake fluid replacement time. Coolant replacement time. Will swap the rear pads (original) as a precaution as...

adding a 5A power circuit to Fuse Box C (using vacant slot, not add a fuse) I recently added a couple of 5A power circuits to the fuse box on the left side of the dash. Thought I would pass along what I learned. ---- Pop off the fuse panel cover on the left side of the dash board using a trim...
