Ever swap their cluster for the 2008 cluster and can u make the new trip computer compatible without a load of traditional vw crazy wiring harness rig maybe a conversion harness and ecu upgrade .
View 10 RepliesI am going to attempt an 08 Dash swap in my 04. I was going to deal with my 04 cluster for a little while until i get everything figured out then try and get an 08 style cluster to work. I was looking at the US speedo custom cluster layouts and the one i want is only available for the diesel clusters. I was comparing the 04 gas and diesel clusters based on pictures and the only difference (besides some idiot lights that were not visible) was the tach stopped at 5k on the diesel vs 6k on the gas one. This is the same on the 08 cluster except the 08 cluster has a boost gauge as well. So my question is if i swapped say the 04 diesel cluster into my 5.4l truck would the tach be accurate or off some? also would any idiot lights be on (glow plugs etc)? If the tach is going to be accurate then is it possible to swap an 08 diesel cluster in and just not have a functioning boost gauge
View 1 RepliesI am thinking about swapping out the radio on my 04 Lariat and was wondering if there was any way to keep my volume controls on the steering wheel functioning?
View 2 RepliesSo with the nice weather here I can start driving the SC430 more which lets me think of projects for the 600 that might leave it in bits for a few days or week or so. I know that in 09 or 10 the 600 got a change to the battery pack that ended up increasing the room in the trunk by about 15 or 20%. I think they changed the NiMH traction battery pack.
The question is - can I swap out just the battery pack or does I need to swap other parts from the hybrid system? Was the increase in trunk space worth the trouble?
I was told I can use a mk3 O2a transmission in my mk4 12v, reason is because my transmission decided to blow up on me I just figured this because a mk3 transmission will be cheaper and easier to find.....I also heard something about swapping the shifter tower.
View 3 RepliesI'm thinking of swapping my tow mirrors from my 04 F-250 for a set off an 08. My truck currently has manual windows and mirrors. What would I need to wire up the power and heated mirrors from an 08 and change my windows to auto while I'm at it?
View 11 RepliesSwap DSG knob in mk7 for that of an A3 or S3 knob. I have searched but could not find anything about swapping DSG gear knobs. I don't know if it's something easy to do but I would like to swap mine for something that you would see more in the Audi as I would like something that is more round.
View 2 RepliesSo, I decided I'd swap out my 4 spoke MFSW for the nicer looking 3 spoke. From what I read, it should've been a direct fit, which it was for the most part, besides the horn not working after putting it back together. I tried looking up solutions, but to my dismay, found loads of things that didn't solve my problem. I already made sure the fuse, and the relay was fine, which they were. The horn worked fine before changing the steering wheel... For whatever reason, I'm only getting around 1-2 volts at the pin connector for the horn pin, and from what I read online, I should be getting 12 volts.
So from what I know so far, for whatever reason, the 12v from the relay, is not reaching the steering wheel fully, which doesn't allow the horn to work. I even tried putting the old steering wheel back on to see if it made a difference, which it didn't. It didn't even work with the old one on it either. I am currently unable to drive the GTI until this gets fixed,
I was wondering if I could take the automatic transmission from a 2004 Jetta 1.8 turbo gas and put it in my 2005 automatic 1.8 turbo gas GLI. Everything about the cars seems the same to me except some of the cosmetics on my GLI.
View 7 RepliesI have an 02 Jetta with the 2.0 that I have been trying to resurrect. We've owned it from new and it's been a great commuting car but it was in desperate need for some TLC. The car has been very reliable for 250k-km and I want to make it last at least another 3 years. So, rather than sell the car for nothing - I've decided to invest some time in swapping parts in from a scrapped GLI w/24v VR6 (with ~130k km) that I picked up for $500. I figure that I'll never feel the pain of depreciation by just never selling the car!
I've already used the GLI to do some cosmetic upgrades (goodbye foggy head lights), replaced a rusted fender and a rock battered hood, a broken side view mirror - as well as do a full leather interior swap. The engine is destined for my Eurovan -- which has left me wondering what other parts I could use off the car before sending it to the wrecker.
So basically -- my 2.0 needs a wheel bearing and the stock suspension has been creaking and noisy for a long time. I see that the brakes and wheel bearing housings are different between 2.0 and VR6 -- but I'm thinking of swapping it all over at once and want to know if this is plausible. The brakes are definitely bigger (FN3 style) with nice factory painted calipers and just in better condition overall -- so I know I need the wheel bearing housing. So- is it possible to swap the entire strut out with the wheel bearing housing and all still attached? Seems this might be less work and faster than actually swapping out the just the wheel bearings.
Will the axles from the 2.0 still work?
I have checked the fuses on my 2000 f- 350 for the dash lites. They are ok. I have turn signals n all but no dash lites ?

View 14 RepliesI am wanting to swap out my mirrors from the adjustable "egg-shaped" superduty on my 2004 to the newer style square type mirrors. I like the newer style mirrors, because i drive an F-550 at work and it has those mirrors on it and it makes towing and seeing in general a heck of a lot better and easier. The question is, Is this conversion possible? Will the newer style mirrors fit on an older truck like mine?
View 14 Replies I swapped my fluid and ever since I did that my clutch and brake pedal are pulsing/vibrating only when I start the car. It almost feels like ABS pulsing but on both pedals and the car is obviously stationary.
I followed the procedure from the manual and did all 4 corners and slave.
Brakes work fine/clutch is fine...
I must have done something to upset the BRAKE system?
I can't figure out by any means if there are any means to do a complete interior LED swap. I was able to successfully change the center dome light but I can't figure out what to replace the reading lights with without taking it apart and matching them up.
View 12 RepliesI was wondering would the 2.4 2az-fe fit in to my 1.8 corolla I want to get a bare block or blown engine and build it up and turbo it and then put it into my corolla. Would the 2.4 bolt up in place of the 1.8 and if so where I can get a bare block or a complete engine?

View 3 RepliesI switched all 4 wheels with a totaled Prius 2 years ago. I didn't know that the TPMS is registered with the car so my TPMS hasn't been working since then (I've been putting this off for a while). I see that many tire shops offer TPMS resetting.
View 4 RepliesAlright so basically i lost 1 and 2nd gear and i want to replace the transmission since this one already has 150k on it. The hard part is finding a used one because of the six speed! What models can i swap transmissions from? Like i heard i could use a 2003 Audi TT six speed transmission! What I can use to swap out my transmission or do i have to just look for a used one specifically for a 20th?
