Touareg :: Can't Fold The Rear Seats
The instruction manual gives several easy steps:
- Remove head restraint from backrest you want to fold forward (easy enough)
- Pull loop located on the front edge of seat cushion and fold it forward (wasn't too bad until you try to pull the seat all the way forwards and it just doesn't want to)
- Put headrest into seat
- Fold down backrest .
All those other instructions aren't applicable since I can't get past #2 in the instructions. Alright, so I pull the seat to the front, but it won't get all the way. Seems like this is in the way
By now I figure, heck I don't want to force it, so I'll just put the seat back and have the dealer tell me how. The leather wasn't really done well and it snagged on the seatbelt clip resulting in

How the heck you fold the rear seats down...I would say I am average to above average when it comes to mechanics and I have spent a couple of hours tinkering with the seat to no avail.

I just put on some brand new Bilstein shocks/struts with new mounts and some Neuspeed springs. It seems like the rear sits lower than the front. Maybe some polo bushings to bring the front down a bit? No stereo stuff of anything in the trunk..

I've been having trouble with my rear wiper since forever. Every time i try to use the washer fluid for the rear, it doesn't squirt right and fills up the motorized lock for the trunk and malfunctions the lock for a day or 2 until it drys. I had this same problem with my old 1.8t gti, just in that case i had to have the whole lock replaced due to the damage from the washer fluid (luckily the dealer payed for it).
I was thinking maybe swapping it out for the polo rear wiper on ecs tuning.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Both Front Wheels Shift A Few Inches To The Rear
Pulling into work today and backing into my parking spot, a fellow employee noticed something odd about my front wheels, so he hopped in my car so I could see the issue.
From a dead stop accelerating forward, the front wheels shift a few inches to the rear, and same thing when backing up from a dead stop they shift to the front. Both sides are doing this evenly. I haven't thrown it on the lift yet but I was thinking a possibly bad dogbone mount. The car has 133K on it and the bone has never been touched.

20th Anniversary sat for 2 months and battery was flat when I went to start it today. I jumped it and got it running. However, when I went to close the hatch it will not stay latched. The latch on the hatch is hitting the striker on the lip of the trunk, but it just won't stay shut. Is any part of the latching mechanism electronically or vacuum operated?

Is this possible? I recently installed raceland ultimos and I get this weird muffled noise from the top of the rear suspension. Took it all apart, cut the bump stops shorter, and lubed the strut mounts. Sound went away for about 10 mins of driving, went for another drive and the sound was back. The next day the weather was warmer and the noise was gone. Should I just get new strut mounts?

Very weird indeed...our 20th AE sometimes will give off this very light horn noise that appears to be coming from the passenger rear tire area...I looked around and couldn't find anything..
The noise is very faint, and repeats in a beep, beep, beep and the longer it goes on, the more space between beeps....very weird.
