Golf IV R32 :: Installing Staggered Wheels
I'm interested in installing a staggered set of wheels on the R. The size I'm looking are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. My question is what wheel sizes should I run to keep everything within spec of my Haldex unit? Ive read about staggered units having to be within 3 or 4% so nothing breaks down prematurely.

I tried to reset my TPMS light using the procedure in the owner's manual after installing my snow tires on the OEM wheels. Now it looks like there is no effects as the lights will just keep blinking even if i am holding the button down. Does this mean the tire shop broke one of my sensor during the install?

View 12 RepliesTouareg :: Installing DVD In Rear Console
While I'm waiting for my new Touareg (a few weeks...), I'm asking if it's possible to install a DVD reader in the rear console (between the two front seats, useful for rear "children" passengers). I'm talking about this kind of DVD reader "all-in-one", with the 7" screen included (it folds inside when not in use). The size of the equipment is the standard A1 for Europe: 70 inch wide, 19.6 inch height and 73 inch deepth. Obviously, I'm thinking to install inserted in the rear console, below the air vents, in place of the controls for the 4 zone air conditioner that I didn't ordered.

View 19 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Installing Remote Start System?
I'm getting a remote start system for Christmas and I'm looking at how to do the install myself. I know you need a bypass and an extra programmed key for the system to work. This is my problem, My car only came with one switchblade key so I would have to get one made. Basically if I do an immo defeat on my ecu which is tuned (not sure which company a po did it), will I be able to do the remote start without having to use a bypass and spare. Essentially if I do an immo defeat, in order to start the car they key would not have to be programmed, just laser cut, correct? Is it possible to do an immo defeat with vagcom or do I have to get a tuning company to do it. The car is an 01' gti AWW for reference. I'm planning on going gonzo stage 2+ in the Spring so I'm thinking about just waiting until then and getting the immo defeated with that, if it works with the remote start.

Touareg :: Installing XM Commander In The Ashtray Area
I am attempting to install an XM Commander in the ashtray area.
I have Spockat's wires and all the proper stuff, but then realized that I have never tried to pull apart the TReg to expose behind and underneath the console, ashtray and footwell area. There seem to be two main things:
There is a horizontal piece of plastic that runs the length of the side of the center console. At the footwell end of it there is a cut out piece that is locked back into place. I assume this somehow snaps out and allows you to pull off the plastic trim. How this piece removes?
Then just above the gas pedal there is an odd screw that holds the carpeting in place. It has three "holes" in it and it appears it takes a special screwdriver to remove it. Taking this out and pulling back the carpet seemingly would allow me access underneath and behind the center console area which is where I was wanting to place the brain.
I didn't want to start jerking and pulling on pieces hoping that they just "pop apart"...
Touareg :: Hood Indicator On After Installing Radio
i just installed a low level adapter for a subwoofer in my Egg (non-vav). As i was reinserting the radio the hood indicator came on about 1" before "clicking" into place. I heard this could be a microsensor telling the alarm the radio is missing. I also had the interior lights shut on and off as i was working on to fix the problem.
View 8 RepliesFord Audio/Video System :: 2004 - Installing 4 Speakers?
I recently picked up and installed an OEM head unit for my 04 F350 XL SC/SB. This truck came with a basic AM/FM head unit and 2 front door speakers. Im not looking to do anything crazy, but now that I have a better head unit than just the AM/FM one I would like to wire in 2 more speakers in the rear doors. The rear doors already have the spots to install speakers, but I am assuming I will have to run wiring to the new head unit.
Will I have to find another plug to go from the new rear speakers to the head unit or is the single plug that is now running the radio have extra spots to accept 2 more speakers? This is the stock head unit. This is the better stock head unit
Touareg :: Installing Aftermarket Amp Using Factory Nav Line Outputs?
I was unable to find any posts talking about using the radio's line out (non-amplified) signal to send to an aftermarket amp. Any links or info would be great as I plan on performing my install soon and I really want to avoid using a line output converter (on the radio's amplified outputs).
View 4 RepliesToyota :: 1993 - Installing Thermostat On Custom Built Coolant System?
I purchased my 1993 Toyota from someone who modded a bunch of stuff in the engine, including putting in a header, taking out the Catalytic convertor, removing the A/C compressor and moving/rewelding different pipes (including the cooling system pipes).
Anyway, I've noticed that it's heater has never worked, and I just figured I needed to replace the thermostat. In the stock engine, you need to drain the coolant system, and then remove the bottom radiator hose. I did that, and discovered that when he welded the new coolant pipes on, he failed to put in mounts for a thermostat, and there was no thermostat there. Is this fixable at all, or am I stuck without a thermostat (and heating in the winter?)
Touareg :: Check Lights Warning After Installing Smoked Tails
Just installed the smoked tail lights on my '07 Treg. Installation was very easy per the instructions on OEMplus. I did a great job from that standpoint.
Got one issue, I check the 'Check Lights" warning and I think its due to the fact I tested the lights before I had all the new ones installed and hooked up. Do I need to take it to the dealer to have something reset via a computer or will the check light go away with some driving, which is what the dealer said.
Touareg :: Lamp Fail Light Is On After Installing Euro Headlight Switch
I need Vag-Com to reset a failed lamp warning light . . . I'm assuming because I ended up pulling the switch out too far, which commands the rear fog light to come on, which doesn't exist, I caused the "lamp failure" warning light and chime to come on and NOT GO OFF (I installed my new Euro headlight switch last night).
I checked and have no dead lamps. I put the old switch back in for a bit but it's still reporting a failed lamp. I searched for this problem before posting but the search engine on this site is extremely poor ... .Couldn't find anything in the manual either. It assumes we're idiots because it says a certified mechanic should change the lamps but oh, carry extras with you !!??

Just got my new wheels. Put them on and synced the TPMS sensors. After a mile or so this alert comes on. If I turn of the car it goes away, until I drive another mile.

The only trouble I've had so far is a very low "clicking" coming from the front driver door speaker when the radio is on. Otherwise, I've enjoyed the vehicle a lot.I am also looking to install my IPOD so that I can play it through the radio...
