Hey do you know anything about Brown's VW or VW Broad St. in Richmond?

browns mechanics are idiots. they have messed up so much that im surprised they are in business.

west broad the only problems i have heard of is they tend to not get your car back to you when they say they do

theres not too many places i really know of in central VA. Bug Haus is some really cool guys but they work on more older VW's. never hurt to try them. theyre in richmond.

as far as parts, i order all mine off the internet since its the easiest way to get them. also install all my parts as well

Your up in exton...my in-laws are from there... But back to topic I live in an apt and they wont allow you to work on your car...I can do intake and simple stuff like that but anything further I cant or dont know how. I am in Northern VA if that helps

well first off let me say bump for another mkv in ashburn!

second your best bet would be to order parts online[ I.E NGP Racing, any of the site sponsors here & on vwvortex] and there are quite a few vw shops in the area such as again NGP racing, Induktion motorsports in MD, etc, you could also try lindsay vw and talk to robbie[the head service advisor, dubber and a cool guy.]

and as far as working on your car goes..whhich apartment complex in ashburn are you in? i probbaly dont live to far away from you but there are a ton on local dubbers[try the regional forums[capital area] on vwvortex and see who would be willing to turn some wrenches, etc.

Well I have no clue where that is but "ah no shit dude" lol...Any suggestions in here for what kind of chip if the car is still under warranty...

New forum guy question: What the F**k does "bump," mean in here?

bump refers to bringing a topic to the top of the page so it gets mroe views/responses

and im assuming you live in the camden apartments right next to the inova office/ shopping center across the street, if so then my girlfriend lives off of wintergrove street which is one more street down if your heading towards stone bridge highschool or the library :thumbup:

also if you want to get chipped but still have warranty issues i know there are some companies[like revo/apr] that not only offer the chip w/ programming but also a module that lets you convert your chip back to stock programming..like I said I know revo/apr make the aformentioned items..your best bet would be to go to the engine sub forums and aska round as im sure PLENTY of people will chime in with their experience!
