Like many of you the little hook that the tonneau cover hangs on broke off. Well, I ordered the part and replaced it. The piece was inexpensive. It required disassembling the interior trim on the lift gate as shown here: http://bit.ly/1qsN3ME You have to get to the "interior window trim"...

Hey guys, yesterday, I took in my GTI for service and the got a ride back home on a 2010 Jetta. I noticed that it had a set of HVAC (Climatic) controls I'd never seen before... I'm in the process of upgrading from Premium 7 Headunit to a RCD-510 and I thought that it might be a better fit...

Anyone know the part number for this OEM Aux in jack?

Anyone know where I can source these under-side mirror convenience lights? My US spec Golf GTI doesn't come with them. :(

I'm looking for a Revo SPS Plus switch. Revo currently has a promo for the SPS Plus switch for $199 if you got their ECU flash recently. I got mine 1 month before their promo so they won't sell it to me at that price. Would be great if someone could sell me one for around that price. :thumbup:

So, I got a Revo Stage 1 flash about two weeks ago. And I've gotta say, I like it A LOT. (Delivers as promised and no issues at all.) I'm not here to argue about which CHIP is the best or puts out the best numbers, etc... The one thing I didn't expect though, was how much you appreciate the...

Hey GTI/Golf owners in Japan! I've seen pictures of GTI's in Japan and it looks like the headunit (with built-in Navigation) fills-up the double-din slot nicely. Who makes those headunit, what are the sizes of the screens and are there any CAN-BUS interface adapters for those? Also, the...

So, I've got a PIE AUX-IN adapter hooked-up to my PKG0 headunit. So when I press "CD" button twice, it switches to "CD EXT". I've seen somewhere that the '07 headunits display "AUX IN" instead. Is the trigger wiring the same? Would it be possible to flash my headunit so that it displays "AUX...

So, I was poking around with my VAG-COM---trying to reset some radio related fault codes and under Radio, I noticed that there was a bit for "Sound Compensation". The choices included 0 - No Sound System, 1 - Cloth Interior (with Open Circuit detection), 2 - Leather Interior (with Open Circuit...

Hey guys, I'm looking for this specific cloth tape for bundling extra wiring behind my stereo. I've looked all around (Home Depot, AutoZone, RadioShack, etc...) but can't find it. Originally, I thought what I needed was friction tape but that wasn't it. Any of you audio guys know where I can...

The look I was aiming for was EU OEM+ (a mouthful, I know). :biggrin: Subtle but delicious, nevertheless. Here's a comparo shot. Day 1 vs. Day 130. (I've got yellow fog lights too, btw.)

Anyone out there with a chipped GTI have any torque-steer issues on the track? I'm seriously considering getting the Revo Stage 1 but I'm concerned that the increase torque will make accelerating out of a corner more difficult. Comments appreciated!

After installing my Euro springs, my steering wheel is off-center (about 10 degrees left) and I can notice that the front right wheel has a toe out. I intend to get all wheels aligned after my srings settled (after about 2000km)... but I think the toe-out is significant enough that I should...

Got my springs installed today. Finally. Whew. Thanks to: Mike @ parts4vw (springs & superb service as always), Damian @ TMTuning (for bump stops)--and John and Kris @ Grossman Tuning for their efficient, professional work! Delta: 22mm (0.87in) in front and 15mm (0.60in) in the rear. (And the...

Hey, any of you guys/gals know of a good leather cleaning product that doesn't leave the leather oily or shiny---while not drying it out? I'd like to clean my leather steering wheel but don't want to make it all smooth and shiny. (I really love the matte, shark-skin quality to it!)

Check this out... I found these on a Japanese GTI blog site. Defi gauges made by a subsidiary of Nippoin Seki (they make OEM stuff for Honda, Mini and Mazda). These look very high quality! Getting me pumped up! Any US distributors you guys know of? http://www.defi-shop.com/product/br/br_top.html

For those of you in Europe... how do the coming-home lights work? Are they based on the light-sensor? Or are they a fancy marketing term for parking lights?

The Bentley repair manual lists the torque specs for the three (3) bolts that secure the shock absorber assembly to [the body of] the car at 15Nm + 90'. (about 11 lbsfft and 1/4 a turn) I find this value somewhat low (everything else is at 60Nm or above). Am I reading the table right? Can...

I noticed that the base Rabbits come with heated seats. If someone out there could pioneer a way to retro-fit the appropriate parts into a base US-Spec GTI, I would be greatful---and follow in his/her footsteps. :thumbsup:

OK, I'm putting this out there for the future... I have this feeling that 2007 US model with have the 17" Huffs (aka Monzas in Europe). I prefer the 17" Huffs for many reasons. My 18" Huffs have about 5K miles on them but are still in prestine condition nicely protected with Klasse AIO/SG. So...
