OK so maybe almost a year ago I replaced my thermostat. When I refilled it it leaked so I took it all out....redid it again...let it all sit for 24 hours..and no problems. I drained all my fluid out for this...and of course refilled it all with better. Several times after I got my coolant...

Have visited several local area car audio places looking to replace my stock 1g speakers (yeah I know....a little late), and I have gotten the same answer. None of the speakers on the market today will fit into the stock speaker housings.Forutnatley the first guy I visited laid it out as...

Finally after three years of failure and paying for state waivers and repairs......I passed my state emissions test. :rocks:Bad thing is....for the first time ever on my car....the CEL is on and constant. Even though it is running better then it ever has. Might do a battery cable...

Hey guys...this may have been posted. I looked an nothing really seems to fit my problem.Little history.I have never passed a state emissions test. Ever. So as preparation I replaced the 02 sensor (its a 92 Tsi FWD). Then I laid in some Royal Purple, and changed the...

Going to Seafoam the old queen this week. Then change the 02 sensor and give her a oil job with purple synthetic. Hoping to pass emissions. Just wondering if anyone has a picture of where to disconnect a vacuum line to put into the seafoam container. I am doing the vacuum line...

I am looking at replacing my entire exhaust system here in the very near future. I have not passed a VET (Vehicle Emissions Test) in Kentucky in three years. I guess what I am wondering is.....does a high-flow cat perform as well as a stock replacement coverter at cleaning exhaust? I will...

I recently helped out a friend with 2 first class tickets to Orlando....and in return he gave me turbo that he had stored for use later. He says its a T3, 50 trim??? I took the numbers off of it and am wondering if anyone can confirm what it exaclty is. And....what kind of use/ratings it...

I have found a website sellling the front 02 Sensor ($56.00 ftw) but I have yet to find one for the post cat area. Anyone ever seen one for sale let me know.Failing emissions badly....its not even close I guess....and trying anything I can. About to jack a can of Restore into it and...

Ok. Just got a Palm III xe from a friend of mine...and am wondering how/where do I get the software needed to link this thing up in my car?? If anyone knows or has a link I appreciate it. Thanks.

I have been looking for a non-cheesy bra for my 92 Talon TSI. I dont want one that just slips on the front of the hood....I want one of the ones that does the majority of the front end.No...I dont honestly believe these look super duper pretty....but I am of the mind set if its ugly...

Was getting ready to install a tri-gauge pillar setup and am wondering.....how do you run the wires into the engine bay generally for this? Its pretty darn jammed up in there, and I dont see jack for spot to run wiring or piping. Any pics would be nice...advice always helpful :)

Ok. Was just doing the cheap mods on my car which I bought in 95. Never really looked at it. I decided since I had the intake system apart to try and check the turbo. I reached in and felt nothing loose and it spun freely so I was happy. Then I noticed it said TD05G on the side of it. Is...

Anyone have the link to the homemade valve seal removal tool?? the one that is a c-clamp and the elaborate one that was made that bolts to the head for doing seals while head is on engine?? Thanks...sitting at machine shop with machinist and lost the link! :barf:

Ok...just tore apart my intake plumbing. Removed the small honeycomb and star filter on backside of MAS. After looking at the can I see that the BoV mounts to it. Where do most people remount the bolts for this after they hack the can up?? Just curious

First thanks for reading. All help is welcomed. I have a 92 TSi (fwd, 5sp) and I have been failing emissions. I notice that if I let the car idle....it begins to accumulate smoke. It is white in color and does not smell like oil. I do have a bit of jerking, not so much that you would...
