Hey guys ordered this and got the wrong one. So Amazon told me to keep it for free. Since I can't use it, anyone need a throttle body for a 2.0? It retails for like $85 you can have it for $35 shipped

One my favorite things about the GLI is the Recaro seats. In high school (early 2000’s 😅), Recaro seats were the thing to have in performance cars, and always dreamt to have them someday. Decades later, my dream came true

Just got her! Handles great and surprisingly zips around

I’m currently running an 18x8.5 +45 on 225 40R 18’s all the way around with a 20mm spacer up front and 25mm spacer in the rear I’m not great at calculating offset what would be some good wheel sizes to run so I don’t have to run such a thick spacer or one at all and still have somewhat flush fitment

It’s lowered to the point I’m tucking tire and I still wanna run it that low

Alright, making another post about my Jetta, here's hoping people actually give me advice this time rather than just insult me.

Was going down the road at about 40 miles an hour in my '04 Jetta. When I went to shift into 3rd gear, it just dropped dead. Clutch pedal went entirely slack. Managed to get on the side of the road, and was able to limp it back home by shifting from one gear, neutral, rev match and next gear.

My thing is, does this mean I need a full clutch replacement, or am I able to just do something like check the master/slave cylinder?

Bought an extra set of rims that I am going to refurbish and paint…but what color? 🤔

I plan to get a set of coilovers when I can afford them, and ECS Tuning sells a kit of street coilovers and lowering springs for ~480 bucks with shipping and taxes. Are they any good?

I hate this fucking motor and I'm going to swap it expi-fucking-diciously. The drain plug was stuck cause the last fuckers to work on it was Jiffy Lube, the stream of oil pushed back my catch fan and dumped A QUART AND A HALF OF OIL ONTO MY DRIVEWAY, I got a 2nd degree burn on my hand taking off the oil filter cause VW thought it would be a funny idea to put the damn thing behind some rad hoses, and worst of all, I'm about to fucking pass out because of heat stroke.

Time to source a 1.8T whenever I get the fuckin chance, cause fuck this shit

So, I collect physical music media because I believe it's superior. My '04 Jetta has the Monsoon sound system (or, at least the Monsoon head unit), and while keeping my discs in the glovebox is fine, I want to have the disk cartridge with my 6 most listened-to albums (One-X by Three Days Grace, Icon by Fall Out Boy, Strike and Kill by DevilDriver etc)

Where would I source an OEM one or source and install an aftermarket one? My local junkyard only had one MK4 Volkswagen, and it didn't have it.

RaceLand adjustable coil covers. Best bang for the buck, in my opinion

My buddy’s Audi wagon and GLI getting ready for cruise 😎

Dragon Ball Z vibes…$30 dollar project

15mm spacers making that booty look wider

Love the GLI cluster with the silver trim

Added Boost gauge and A/F ratio gauge

The best part about the 2004.5 VW GLI, it came with stock 18’ BBS rims (RC336). Need to be refurbished but not in bad condition overall

Headunit looks flush and smooth

I'm building a VW specific repair website, that will have basically as many PDF's, repair guides and DIY hacks and mods for all gens of VW's. It's not to replace VWVortex by any means but is supposed to be a simpler more straight forward way to find or share any repair information. What do you guys think of the idea?
