    Changed the cabin air filter, car won't start now

    Like the title says, car was sitting for about 3 days, started up fine. Drove it across the driveway, shut it off, changed the cabin air filter in a few mins and everything went ok. Tried to start the car and all that happens is a single click noise, and the lights slightly dim as there is...

    Is my DV sticking?

    Running Koni's all the way down and on very hard right turns when the suspension is fully loaded my headlights move themselves to the ground (onramp ripping), Any suggestions on how to fix this? Did I not put my headlight levelers on properly or can I re-align them for the low height?

    Is the polish mechanic feeding me some bologna?

    The background: The other day while merging onto the highway in my stock 2008 (FSI) GTI a charge pipe blew off. I found this odd on a stock car but correlated it with the fact that the timing belt was recently done and perhaps the shop put stress on the pipe causing the connection to become...
