I am installing my coilovers on my gli and I have everything installed but the passenger side coilover. I cant even remove the old strut because the damn lower strut mounting bolt is seized and I've been trying for hours to remove it at no avail. I have used pb blaster, my heat gun, and my sweat. I dont have impact tools, just my ratchet..

I was searching but I can't find any DYI's on turning your Daytime Running Lights off on our cars. I don't feel like buying a euro switch right now. How to do this or has done this to their vw's?

my gli is acting up in corners, when turning into a right-hand corner the car is fine even under hard acceleration, but when turning into a left-hander under acceleration the abs acts up like its lost traction on ice, any thaughts.

I have an 04 GLI with around 130,000 miles. I have developed a squeaking noise coming from the front end of the car. I cant really tell if its the right or left side. I can tell you i only hear it when driving under 30 mph and it seems to happen more often when i slightly turn the wheel to the right. Also when i accelerate from a stop or let off the clutch pedal into 2nd or 3rd. I wonder if it could be the wheel bearings going bad? I replaced both front and rear control arm bushings back in December just for some background. FYI, by squeaking i mean the sound of metal to metal. Its not a squeal or hiss, or anything to do with a boost leak. When you hear it, it sounds like a squeak, squeak, squeak kinda pattern but comes and goes depending on speed and the turning of the steering wheel.

So tonight at 8:30 I started up my car to get ready to leave work. I turned my light switch to activate the headlights and I only saw the amber light on the wall in front of me. I was worried because I need headlights in order to get home. I tried activating the fogs and turning the switch on and off but only my parking lights were working. I turned the car on and off a few times and all of a sudden the headlights finally turned on. I drove around town afterwards to run errands and the headlights were turning on just fine. What would cause this issue and I really don't want it to get to the point where I can't drive my car at night.

Under acceleration between 65-80 on the highway I get a serious vibration in my steering wheel. I can feel it in the floor of the car too. When I let off the throttle it goes away. I have new tires, wheels, and new axles too. I thought it was the inner cv's but i was wrong. I was thinking possibly motor mounts, but I am not 100% sure. Specs 2004 Jetta GLI, ecs 10mm spacers in the front, coilovers dropped 2 inches, otherwise everything else is stock in the bushing mount department.

I have an 04.5 jetta gli ... Mods are unitronice stage 2, eurojet tb exhaust, cold air intake, diverter valve, nothing else really.
So, whenever I'm driving alone my car is fine. But once I have a really heavy person in my car, or maybe 2 people in it, as soon as I start the car I hear a vibration. It sounds as though it could be my exhaust? Because before I had it installed months ago it would never do this.
Also, as I accelerate I feel and hear that it is bogging like my car is struggling to go fast and i do see some signs of loss of power. So is it the exhaust?
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Automatic Window And Sunroof Close When Turning Car Off
I picked up my beloved 20th last week. It has this feature that when you shut the car off it closes the windows and sunroof. It's very annoying. Is this an aftermarket item that is doing this or is it a stock program? I don't think the car has an aftermarket alarm but I'm not 100% positive.

I just rolled 100k in the 337. Time to do some refreshing. 2 noticeable issues (non-motor related anyway )
1 - sometimes when turning hard left to right, or vice versa, I hear and feel a "cluck", almost like the something is shifting.
2 - I've got a creak from the front (and I think maybe the back too) when I get out of the car. Sometimes I hear it when I slowly go over a bump as well.
3- I think my rear shocks are on the way out.
In the last 15k I replaced both the inner and outer tie rods. That's all I've done to the suspension.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Rubbing Sound When Turning Sharp Left
When I turn left sharply i hear a rubbing sound. I thought it was just tire rubbing but I am not sure. What else could it be? The car is stock height stock everything. It just got new brakes and tires recently. it looks like something is rubbing the cv boot....

When I'm driving and the clutch is slipping a bit ( i.e. starting from a stop) I feel very noticeable vibration. Is that a sign the clutch is starting to do? I feel like a year ago it was smoother action, and I barely had to give it gas to get started ( could start with clutch action mostly).
