    Best way to go about replacing the steering rack?

    Well it is finally coming, after 11 years of daily driving and potholes, 3 different shops believe the steering rack is going. Nothing is leaking yet, I only hear creaking on both outer tie rods. When they raised the car on a platform, they turned the steering wheel and had me put my hand on...

    Rear End-Links keep failing

    My car had the stock sway bar and end links on front and rear up until 123k miles. Went with the 034 Rear Sway Bar and 034 spherical end links at 123k miles. The 034 end-links ended up failing due to the heim joint I believe, rust developed in the bearing within 2 months. I then replaced them...

    Koni FSD+Eibach pro-kit Review and Bilstein B14 PSS coilover review

    Just to start off this review, this is most likely more for the mk7 owners as they google search and stumble upon this. Considering that our cars are older and most people already have the suspension of choice, I thought I could shed some light for owners of the newer platforms. I have owned...

    Adjusting coilovers while they remain on the car.

    Been researching PSS10 and KW V2/V3. I noticed that a lot of the pros for the PSS10 is that you can adjust the dampening while they are on the car. Do you jack the car up, remove the tire and then adjust the dial by hand, or do you use a tool? As for the KW's, on the MK6 forum people were...

    Bilstein PSS Coilovers and ride comfort

    Just curious if anyone could weigh in on this topic. Had the PSS Version for about 25k miles, mechanically they are very solid with no issues. Comfort wise they are super rough, now I knew I was getting into a situation like that with coilovers in general. They are the non-adjustable...

    Heat and AC Fan wont blow on any settings.

    About a year ago at 102k miles I noticed that the blower would only work on setting 4. Searched the forum and I replaced the blower motor resistor. Everything has been fine with the blower motor up until last week, when it would only work on setting 4 again. I went to autozone and replaced it...
