What have you done to your P5 today?

Going to try and seafoam. See if that might fix it. lol Also replace a gasket on the crank case valve. Then if that doesnt work jump on R4 and see WTH is going on.

Wish me luck! lol

edit also going to do the coolany bypass mod.

(gah) Just dropped a tick over $400 for suspension goodies from OMP to have on hand when I install the Tokico/Tein combo in a couple of weeks.

I went all out and bought everything but the dust shields for all four corners. She has lived thru 7 NE winters and with 134k+ I figured it's money well spent while everything is apart.

Talked to Jason directly and since I'm lowering, he 'upgraded' the strut mounts/bumpstops to OEM MSP parts.
 
VW's have to look good because they spend most of their time sitting around broken.
 
04+ VW's are much better, though still not Honda's.

CTt3p5, did you buy new endlinks, or are you going to try to reuse the old ones?
 
^That's good to know. My 86 cost me 4x more than I paid for the car in one year.
 
yeah, they're not bad, now. My wife was in a 2000 Passat, then an 07 Passat. The 00 sucked, and every visit to the dealer, the service dept was SLAMMED, I mean 40 cars in there at 8AM. I've been in with the 07, and it's empty. Our service guy is outstanding, and he said overall there are FAR fewer issues. No more windows falling out, fewer coil packs, etc. I still wouldn't own one out of warranty.
 
Need help...I am stuck on removing the dash out of the Speed...I got all the bolts out, but am hung up on the steering column...from what I can tell it is completely unbolted, but the "U" clip half way back is stuck on...there was a long bolt coming from the passenger side through I took out which loosened it up, but it still isn't seeming to want to separate...

QFT!

Perhaps the 04+ are much better but VW will never get another cent from me.

I was given front endlinks from a NEPOC member and my current order does include the rear endlinks and 8 nuts for all four corners. I'm not taking any chances. lol

Coilovers?

drop steering colomn?
 
Brought the car in for tint, finally, only to get rescheduled for Saturday. On a better note, my MSP lip can get painted right away :)
 
Yea, steering column was dropped...ended up figuring it out though...took nearly an hour...I was stumped...there was a bolt pretty much inside the firewall holding it in...
