My red Golf came in from the port with black body side moldings. The dealer has the body shop removing them now. What should i look for, when inspecting the car? Is it even reasonable to assume this can be done without leaving any noticeable marking?

Just took off the throttle body of my 2002 GT to clean it. Had all of the sensors off (IAC, MAF, TPS). Put everything back together and it fired right up but immediately went to 3000 rpm and acted like it would keep climbing.
Thought I was very careful putting everything back together. Obviously the throttle is open but there is no play in the throttle cables. Could it be a sensor?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to remove the throttle body on my 2002 Echo. However, the transmission dipstick tube is in the way of one of the throttle body bolts. How can I remove the transmission dipstick tube so that I can remove the throttle body?
View 1 RepliesSo I'm pulling the front control arms on my car and was wondering how to pull the front bolt out of the passenger side control arm and if it is doable without dropping the sub-frame. The bolt has like no clearance between the oil pan and the front edge of the sub-frame.
View 3 RepliesTrying to remove all the lower trim on the dashboard. Have everything but the lower right portion on the drivers side. The carbon trim on there seems to be tucked under the upper part of the dashboard itself and I can't remove it. I assume there is one final screw under there?
I can pop it loose a bit on the left corner but feel if I force that trim something is going to break.
So, I'll put my Passat away for the winter and I want to repair some rust that appeared on the windows moldings, and to do a nice job, I want to remove those. I checked out a little bit, removed moldings but I was not able to remove those.
View 2 RepliesI have a 2010 prius with a misty gray interior. Accidentally when getting out I scuffed the door and on another occasion I scuffed the plastic molding by the gas tank lever.
The scuffs are black marks and they bother me every time I look at them. Is there a way to get them out? I tried rubbing them out with some cleaner on a paper towel but no luck.

I was thinking of adding on Body Side Molding.
How does it look in person? any pictures?
I had cars with it that I've added on after. I like the look of it either way [on or off]
I need a piece of the orig body side molding or something close. Where I might find something that will work? I'm reconditioning all the rockers on my white van and I need a piece on the sliding door.

My 2010 Prius mirrors are at slightly different angles to the car body when fully unfolded. Driver side is about 10 degrees further away than passenger mirror. I saw another Prius with same thing. Is this normal and do others have same thing?
View 10 RepliesThe front of the rear bumper on the driver's side is loose from the main body. The clip on the bumper is ripped from where it tore. I've gone ahead and bought the clips and everything from Lexus near me, but need to know the best epoxy or glue to reconnect the clip area on the bumper so I can apply the clips.
Is the bumper on that spot (the back side of it, not the painted exterior, if that makes sense) fiberglass.
I've got this clunky sound I am narrowing down to the drivers side body mount. The stock one has lasted 11 years. But I'm reading thread after thread about stock replacements lasting a year or so before crapping out again. I've found a few people mention the energy suspension lot, or another one that has Kevlar (daystar iirc). I googled them and found a handful of super duty owners who used the poly mounts complaining about harshness and vibration transmitted to the cab.
My truck is my dd and with my new highway tires and stock exhaust it's as quiet as it ever has been and that makes me and the family happy on long trips. I don't want to do anything to ruin that.
I was wondering do any black color touch up paint works on the black color spot on the side mirror?
View 4 RepliesI've been told by friends driving behind me that every time I accelerate I emit a plume of black smoke followed by a stream of black colored "water". I checked today by having the wife rev the engine to 4.5k...sure enough, black water shoots out of my exhaust, probably 3 oz. I also see a black puff of smoke which I assume is more normal than the water. Is this commonplace ?

View 14 RepliesI just joined up after purchasing a CPO 2010 Prius IV. Love the car but after taking a closer look I noticed that one side of the bottom black plastic cover was drooping on one side. Upon closer inspection I noticed that there was a screw and plastic Grommet combination that was not locked into place. After unscrewing the screw, I tried to put the grommet back in place but noticed that it couldn't fit because (I believe) the white bumper portion where the grommet goes broke off. I compared it to the other side of the car and yes it does seem like part of the plastic top portion that is connected to the bumper broke off.
I inspected the bottom some more and it seems like there are a good number of screws missing and a large plastic piece that is the front tire well is also very loose.
So while driving yesterday I had a EPC and Check eng light come on and go away shortly after... maybe 1hr of drive time. Any way I took into dealer today to have them scan and they stated it was an issue with my throttle body.
Now as soon as he told me that he also said he can not do any work under warranty on my engine due to Stage 2 software and intake/down&mid pipe...... no big deal as I figured he would say something like that anyway. Should I take it apart and try to get it cleaned..... or what?
Its a 2010, with roughly 21k miles.... Had APR stage 2 for a few months now and this is the first thing that has come up.
