Hey everyone, Been having a problem with my clutch for awhile now, hopefully I can get some other opinions on this. Car had ~76k miles on it when the clutch went. Ever since I got it replaced (just hit 100k today) it just hasn't "felt" right. It seems to not be as stiff as the old clutch...

Got new tires today since the old ones started to feather, which is a very annoying sound. Got the alignment done and the guy told me my tie rod boots had torn and probably have 6 months on them left. So two questions: Should I just go ahead and buy all new ones? Do I have to get another...

I just installed some LEDs and have noticed that once they are supposed to go out they appear to be very dimly light. Not completely on, but like there is power running to them enough that you can make out a noticeable glow coming from them. Anyone else see this? Or is this being caused by...

Been thinking about trading in the GTI lately and went to get a price estimate at Car Max, and got quoted $5,000. There reasoning for this was the oil was milky on the oil cap and they are going off of that being a head gasket issue. I have been chasing this problem for a while and did a...

Got a problem. When I'm driving I keep getting this "thumping" sound from what seems like the front end. The sound starts at about 25mph and seemed to be more noticeable during the winter months and when on the brakes. Anyone got any ideas on what could be wrong?

So got a little bit of a problem. I was driving home last night getting on the highway in 3rd gear and decided to get on it a bit. I didn't go full throttle (maybe 75%) and when the RPM's hit about 4-4.5k my it felt like I lost traction and the RPMs dropped down to 3k then shot back up to 4k...

Here recently I have notice that when I'm backing out of my parking spot I start to get this click sound, but it only happens when I first drive the car in the morning. I have just put 50,000 miles on the car and would think the CV joint would last longer than this. I don't know if its the CV...
