you are welcome...sorry took longer than I wanted it to...

[vwsquibb]

it's your dimmer switch. also just polish your grounds under you batt, on the tranny, etc.

replaced the dimmer, when it gets dark I will take it for a test drive and see if that solves my problem. Thanks EuroBloke

They must have screwed it up when they put in the new door lock module in the drivers door then, I guess I am not going to worry about it...we have one of the wost VW service places in the country I swear...They also dripped black sealant all over the window...I just got the window replaced...they wouldnt do anything about it...

oh and they couldnt figure out my coolant light...they needed to add f-ing coolant..the list goes on and on...

[vwsquibb]

i want one! how do i get a sticker?

you send me money through paypal (squibbtp@gmail.com) and your member number and the color you want it, I send you the sticker.


I dont have a ton of color choices at work so let me know and I can cut one for you, they are $10.00 shipped Or 2 for $15.00

So a random question- what kind of fuel economy do you average? I'm averaging 25mpg with about a 60% city / 40% hwy per tank (mostly city driving but I get quite a bit of country 55mph driving in), it feels like I get my mpg sucked down anytime I hit the freeway. My g/f's little automatic 4cyl Honda Accord averages 35-40mpg driving freeway, and does ~2000RPM @70mph. I can't help but wonder if there's something wrong with my car pulling ~3400RPM @70mph in 5th gear... or is this how VW designed the 5-spd tranny? Doesn't seem right.

its normal

just get better mpg by driving slower

[amotion578]

okay so there isn't something wrong with my transmission then, good and bad!

anyone know how to get a 6spd mated to a 4cyl easily?

[3astco4st]

Glad my town does such a great job plowing...

aftermath of hitting/snapping a 6x6 granite mailbox post, then the telephone pole 3ft after it.





somethings messed up with the steering. hopefully tomorrow isnt treacherous so I can pull off the wheel and find out what other damage might have occurred.

[EuroBloke]

Now it looks like this.





Traded the Jetta front back. Changin' **** up.

[vwsquibb]

Got my turtle thanks squibb!

could you let me know the size I made yours, I cant recall and that size looks pretty good for a back window...let me know..thanks

[vwsquibb]

do you think it could be the instrument cluster that is going bad?
