I knew it was bound to happen sometime, but this is starting to get under my skin. My issue just started two weeks ago, and it is intermittent. Here are the facts I know- 1. The air ride system operates as it should under city driving conditions. 2. After achieving freeway speed, the...

I snapped a RSB body mount going over a speed bump yesterday and I need to find a new one fast. It's cold and wet this time of year in the PNW, so I'd rather not visit the junkyard and lay in the mud if I don't have to.

As stated in caps, I am in need of 98-99 model trans for my mark8 very soon. I am moving back to the west coast next month (Feb 14) and need to have this swap done asap before my trip west. I would prefer a brand new unit, but low mileage unit will work as well. Modded trans a plus. I have...

Last night my gf was using the Mark for work, and while returning to the car watched dumbfounded as a 15ft limb broke high off a tree and shattered the rear glass. It didn't bust out, just shattered inside the protective film. We were under a high wind advisory with sustained winds of 25-30mph...

Hey there, I'm new to the board. I have been a member of other various boards (maxima.org/vwvortex), but decided to join up since i have a MKVIII now. I purchased a 95 base model in April '08, and have been cruising the board since then. I finally felt I should join to take advantage of the...
