  1. Ask A Volkswagen TECH - Hosted by Nitroscope8
    Newbie (me!) just acquired this car. Trans needs to be replaced. Wondering if there is a chart/site that can tell me what 5sp manuals would be a direct swap for this car? Plan is to buy a used one, but my thoughts are if I can increase my search from just 2008 Rabbit 5 sp manual, I might get...
  2. 1975 - 1984 VW Rabbit General Forum
    Howdy folks! I just acquired an 81 Caddy with a droopy headliner. I removed it and scrapped the foam from the cardboard and vinyl. I thought I could just contact cement it back to the cardboard but found it had shrunk over the years of being free from the cardboard. I looked at a couple of...

    I recently purchased a 2018 Tiguan SEL. I would much like to replace the new existing headlight assembly with the SEL Premium LED DRL headlights. Anyone know how difficult/expensive this would be? I got a quote from my dearly of around $2,000-$3,000, which sounds high. I can purchase the...

    My 2013 Beetle Fender (bought used) has a audio/touch screen system but no GPS function. Is this a simple addition/activation or more complex? I called the dealer and they had no idea!?
  9. Golf MK2 / 1983-1992
    Hello Members! At 52 hp, my 1.6 liter original engine with 205k miles has always struggled going up inclines and acceleration when merging with traffic plus I'm not keen on the periodic valve adjustments required. I understand there's an upgrade to a 1.9 liter with hydraulic head giving better...
  10. Beetle Owners Club
    Are there any alternative side marker repeater lights from other vehicles that will fit a '99 Beetle? I DO NOT wish to utilize the existing VW part which MUST be changed from inside the vehicle, requiring an unnecessary dismantling of the interior dash, etc. I would prefer anything which is...

So I opted for what I thought was a good deal on Covers, and Cards and that was what they were covers to go over your existing ones. Ok, I had to Modify my...

  13. MK1 Rabbit Mods / DIYs
    I live a few miles from a company called Coverlay, which makes very nice dash covers for cars. These covers fit over the existing dash and it is hard to tell that it isn't the original dash. They used to make covers for MK1 Rabbits, but they said that their mold broke and they don't know if...

    I need some advise on replacing my catalytic converter. I was going to by the whole unit with the front pie to the manifold and the rear pipe to the exhaust. But I am hearing that I can cut the existing cat and replace it with a universal type of cat. Does anyone have a preference? Any...

    Hey Everyone! Just curious, I've got a 2015 Golf TDI with Panoramic Sunroof & I've been thinking of adding a roof rack (if possible) to tote my snowboard & skis when traveling to save room inside.
