My driver front glass has had some weird interior bubbling for a while, and it spread enough to be enough of a PITA to fix. Ordered new glass from VW and today I went about taking apart the door panel and connectors, found the two round holes and proceeded to lower the window so that the bolts were exposed. Disclaimer: I'm a Toyota guy and this is my first vehicle with torx bolts. The E6 sized torx socket was the smallest from the kit that I got from Harbor Freight, so I assumed that must be...

I started a build thread for my MK3, and I've gotten to the point with my Passat that it's ready for a build thread of it's own. I purchased this 2017 Deep Black Pearl Passat R-Line from a local dealership. It is a rebuilt title but the car was in a rear end collision with only body damage. After taking a look at it as best I could and taking it for a test drive, I could already tell I would really enjoy the car. I wanted a daily that would be fun and somewhat reliable. Almost immediately I... 2017 Passat R-Line Build Thread ..read more

I thought it would be useful to have a consolidated discussion around what people are running at autocross and track events, how they do, what mods are working well, etc. I'm starting with a 2024 DSG GTI S that's stock other than 255/40r17 V730's. Before this, I spent a couple years or so in autocross STH class with my Mk7. I had a good alignment, rear sway bar, front camber mounts, front and rear strut braces, partial Mk8 PCV retrofit, FMIC, stage 1 tune, and TCU tune. Looking forward to...

Hi everyone! I just got my AC compressor and received drier replaced in my 1990 Cabriolet. Another detail is that the mechanic replaced the belt to the compressor with a larger belt, saying that the belt I had on didn’t fit (which is weird because the ac compressor is supposed to be a direct replacement for the oem one). While taking the car home (with the AC on setting 4) something weird happened. I completely stopped at a stop sign, and made a right turn, then I quickly hit the brakes to...

It’s quite the world we live in today, and because of that, you need to cover yourself with as much security as possible. When you’re behind the wheel, things can get crazy and out-of-hand in a hurry. It is best to have some way to back up your side of events, and a dash cam is a great solution. The problem with some dash cam systems is simple - they don’t offer enough resolution to be of any use. That is where... How BlackVue Just Made Dash Cams Even Better ..read more
