I have a 72 convertible and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. It is running pretty well but needs mechanical and body work (interior and exterior). I live in northern Connecticut but am willing to travel. Does anyone know someone who’d be interested in this project??
Thank...

I've been living carless since 2010, and have finally worked myself into the position where it might make sense to own one again. I live in the Denver metro area, and will be shopping around soon for a basic commuter. I'm looking for (in order of importance) low maintenance, decent...
I've just taken possession of my second automatic transmission car, and the second DSG. The first was a Jetta and now a Tiguan. Although I knew that the DSG used two clutches, I had mistakenly thought it still used a torque converter for the initial movement.
Now I know it uses the 'odd gear...

Hey Gang
I dug around on the forum here, but couldn’t find an answer. I’d like to install an aftermarket coolant temp gauge. I see the two sensors on the coolant flange coming off the driver’s side of the head. I guess one of those is glow plug something-something and the other is the sending...
My hatch shuts, and i have to press the release button for it to open, but it always tells me that my trunk is open. If i open the hatch and manually close the latch all the way, it shows the trunk is closed and he rear wiper works. Although I have to reopen the latch to close it :/. Do i need...
I have a question. I saw a post for a 2006 Touareg with 120k miles on it. Owner is selling for $5400. I think it’s just a V6 Touareg with stabdard options. Body and interiors look good. Is this a fair price? Anything I need to know about 2006 model before I decide to buy? Any major maintenance...
My check engine light went on last week, so like a good Tiguan owner I brought it to my VW dealership. I got the call today I have $4k in repairs needed for my 2012 with 60k miles that I brought brand new. My heart sank..
Here is what they said was wrong, as I think this dealer my be trying...
Picked up an entire cluster with less than 144k miles indicated (vs my own inoperable odo reading nearly 300k...it twitches which tells me I likely have broken teeth). It's only a 0-85 unlike mine which is a 0-100 BUT the number on the face is the same (1575). Got entire thing to simplify...

I have a 2013 vw Beetle and on the passenger side door handle when you pull it no more then 1mm it retracts the window to allow the door to open for the frameless door which is good. But on the drivers side door you need to pull the handle about 17mm before the window retact, which means being a...
Hey
Changed the oil, oil filter, oil filter leg gasket and oil cooler o-ring on my golf mk3 2.0 gti and after driving for a while the oil pressure light came on.
I have checked the oil pressure with a mechanical oil pressure meter from the lower sensor (high pressure sensor) and was getting too...
Just received an eBay remote key kit for the old Polo. As I'm planning to install this myself I thought I'd reach out here to see if there are any general guides for installing these types of kit? I'm prettty comfortable with the mechanical part of this so my main question is regarding the...
