    Christmas presents for your mk6

    What's everyone getting?? My Bilsteins are more or less shot so new suspension on the way. I had Koni yellows on the last car, going to give these a try. Also going to swap out Eibach pro springs for VWR (Drivergear) I've had on the shelf. Like the linear rate springs better.

    Cranks, turns over, no start. No EPC or CEL lights.

    Had an intermittent no start condition today. Seems like the ECU/PCM wasn't getting power, I had other lights but no EPC or CEL came on. Cranks fine and wouldn't start. After 5 or 6 key on, key off attempts they lit up and it started. Drove fine, made it home and it restarts without issue...

    Oil Pressure Gauges

    I'm curious who is running a gauge and what kind of warm readings you're getting?? Surely some of you track guys like @jay745 are running one (but not Jay lol). I recently installed a mechanical gauge, but only because I was getting random low oil pressure readings (not hard right turn related)...

    Overheating...it's not water pump, thermostat, radiator or fans - SOLVED

    Long story short, I was at autox a couple weeks ago and the car overheated at the end of the run. I have replaced the water pump, thermostat, radiator, and both fans are working. The car still runs good...when it's cold. I'm not getting any mixing of oil/coolant but it wants to sit at 237...

    FS: Sachs Performance SMF flywheel and clutch kit

    This is a slightly used Sachs kit I bought for my GTI. Moving on to a Mini Cooper project and will never get to use this. It is complete minus the throwout bearing. Lots of meat on the disc. The guy had a squeaky bearing and bought an ACT SMF kit to upgrade, he didn't know the car had the Sachs...

    Fault code 01309 - Power Steering Control Module (J500)

    I have a new problem. We had a power outage last night, and I have this big power inverter. I disconnected the battery to hook up the inverter, when I powered up the car I had this fault. Driving it and clearing the code didn't work. I disconnected the battery again and removed the inverter...

    Shifter play on transmission side (manual)

    So I did the linkage adjustment today. There was significant play on that top shaft of the transmission. Is it the cast piece that has worn or the case shaft? It was really hard to tell. I was able to take out the slop with a large washer, but I'm wondering if anyone has replaced that cast...

    Ticking noise, bent spark plugs SOLVED

    I think I found the source of the ticking noise. I replaced the intake manifold (P2015) and a large chunk of plastic was missing from between a couple ports. Something that goes over the flapper shaft. There was also considerable wear on the head where this piece was obviously moving around...

    Intake manifold- plates in the head

    So my manifold finally broke, I'm swapping it now. Has anyone tried running without the plates in the intake ports on the head? I would think it would flow a little better.

    Camshaft adjuster magnet

    Anyone have experience with this? I believe this is the source of my loud ticking noise. Would it cause the occasional stumble or misfire? It it worth cleaning or should I just swap it out?
