Reviews of OEM Volkswagen parts For Business

Along with the diaphgragm valve (see the links above) you'll need to replace all the gaskets you disturb, namely the valve cover gasket (part no. 03H 103 483 C) and the gaskets that seal the upper intake manifold to the lower intake manifold (4 x 03H 133 237 G and 2 x 03H 133 237 J).

OE Blade pair can be had here for $37.44 http://1stvwparts.com/2016-volkswag...transaxle_automatic_dual_clutch_trans_speeds-oem-oem-wip._blade_5GM998002-item/

Id agree w/GINCH- the OE blades are really nice, albeit pricey perhaps vs the other brands. I get 8-12 months out of a set, no hassle fitment etc etc. Complain loudly enough about the price and my dealer will take 15% off MSRP, which is essentially a garage keepers discount.

I think it is very likely that your low front end is caused by the wrong shocks being installed for the heavy W8 engine.

So for those who want to know a mk4 tdi manual starter does fit in a mk4 1.8t manual car! The starter is a bit longer so make sure you have clearance for it. It fit fine in my car but it's a mk2 so not sure if there is clearance issues in a mk4. I had to adjust my boost piping a bit to not hit the longer starter but, that's no big deal. Keep in mind this starter cranks like a mother ****er but, does require a strong battery in some cases more cranking amps. My car doesn't get driven much so the battery wasn't at it's full capacity so I charged it up and she cranked like hell!

With your help, I just replaced my 9 year, still well functioning battery, in violation of the "if ain't broke..." rule. The process went without a hitch, thanks to your great information.

The headlights on my GLI are 1495 ea, and that does include bulbs, sensors, motor ext. AFS headlights are a lot of $$$.

Yep... had that happen with my GLI. Stg 1 A6 GLI and the brakes really couldn't keep up w/the car. Upgraded them to A6 Golf R fronts and no problem now stopping.

I looked at the brakes on our Tiguan, and it has one disc that is notably scored, same way. We just crossed 2k miles.

I believe that the the timing chain goes bad a lot. And is located in a spot that some people would rather just replace the engine after the chain fails.
