Hi There I have a 2008 Polo 1.4. I love this car as it is my first, and is still in pretty great condition. However, it is feeling a bit long in the tooth and underpowered. Life priority wise I'm not really looking to drop serious cash on a new car, so I was considering some simple mods/tuning...

Also looking for feedback on who's having good experiences with what strut. My car is at 40,000 miles. Only certain waves/dips/bumps in the road ways give a feeling the front end bounce a bit too much. So just looking to learn some product knowledge. Is there an upgraded strut that folks...

I have just bought a Tiguan 2012 2.0 tdi 140hp manual gearbox. I thinks it feels a bit strange when pushing down the gaspedal. The feeling is that it takes a second before the engine reacts. Is this normal or is something wrong with the car?

As the title states, I am getting ready to convert to studs. Personally I don't really want to, but my new wheels have a mag/shank seat. And I have mag/shank style bolts. However, the sleeve washers that fit into the wheel fit nice and snug, but the shoulder/shank on the bolt which is supposed...

I had head resurfaced after severe overheating, now runs great, have 450+ compression in all cylinders. I intended to replace timing belt, but couldn't figure out how to remove lower timing belt cover. So I said screw it because old timing belt looked fine, but now I'm having 2nd thoughts...

I have a 05 golf (gas) and I got a coolant heater and a 0 weight synthetic oil in preparation for the cold here ( Fort McMurray). Today was the first real cold day -36 and it wouldn't start.

I live in Calgary, Canada (cold winters) and I'm looking at buying a '12 Tiguan. I absolutely love the 6 sp manual, and really don't want to move into an automatic. But, I can only get the 6 sp in 2WD. I've always driven an AWD so I'm a bit nervous moving to 2WD. I'll be getting good snow...
