(Part 3) Top products from r/jetta

Okay, sorry the pictures took so long, some stuff came up. I'm making a separate post for my own suggestions. This is my '02 Jetta. I have These rims on in 18x8 front and 18x9 rear with 225/40ZR 18's. The width of the rear rims while running the same size of tire as the front obviously means it's a little stretched, but nothing stupid. I also found with these rims, that they stick out just enough for my liking that I won't be using spacers on my car.

Some other suggestions for your car, Stubby antenna, smoked side markers, signals, and headlights. Amazon had a nice pair of blacked out, not smoked, headlights for ~$90 but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Also I agree with the adjustable coilovers for ride height, if I wasn't planning on selling my car in the near future I would be putting some on my own vehicle. You could do fogs, EDIT - here is a good kit, and uses the factory euro switch.

But that is just my 2 cents, hope it helps!

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench is best for wheels since they have good leverage
  
  
• Always store the torque wrench slack, fully loosened.
  
  
• Buy 6 point sockets for automotive use, 12 points can round off a nut or bolt if you apply a lot of pressure. 6 point is also more stable when the pressure is on
  
  
• Need 17mm? This is a good one that should help to protect your rims because of the plastic sleeve. https://www.amazon.com/Titan-Tools-21091-Non-Marring-Socket/dp/B009TCBKJ0/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=17mm+socket+1%2F2+drive&qid=1573745260&sprefix=17mm+so&sr=8-5
  
  Good luck!

Get a Euro switch, allows you more options for running lights and headlights and is superior. Easy to install, too.

I have one of these and I love it, combined with blindspot mirrors on your outside rear views, it makes for a much safer driving experience. And looks neat.

And yeah, vinyl wrapping the brushed aluminum.

I don't think so. Depending if you are keeps the stock radio. There are solutions that are plug and play around 800 to just add a sub to existing radio.
I believe jl audio has a solution for that
Also component speaker range anywhere from 75 to 1000 a pair and that's not including an amp to run them.

This is a good solution to run your own amp without replacing radio for a sub with external amp

But I'm happy with my stock radio and speakers
Just looking for a little bottom end

Thanks for the advice! Do you think [this tool] (https://www.amazon.com/Xtool-Vag401-Diagnostic-Skoda-Vehicles/dp/B016IDXE78/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1483415836&sr=8-3&keywords=vcds) would be sufficient? It says it can do throttle alignment. Would I be better off buying this cable and then buying this software from RossTech? Thanks again

I bought this from Amazon. It sticks really well to my wind shield. I moved it higher into the shaded (black dots) area on the windshield). The actually mirror part sucked, but I read the reviews and knew that going in.

So, I bought this mirror as an attachement. It is a wide angle mirror, which expands your viewing area in the car and covers some of my blind spots. It's not for everyone, but it's cheap and I wanted to try it out.

I went with a suction cup because I wanted to avoid the whole epoxying a new mount to my brand new windshield. I've done it before, in the old Jetta, and got glue everywhere because I'm a newb.

My other idea is taking a mount for my OEM mirror and attaching it to plexiglass. Then, attaching suction cups to that. Luckily, my current solution suits me.

If you would like pictures, let me know and I'll gladly show you.

Metra wiring harness takes care of all the backend wiring behind the HU. Just match the colors from the HU wiring harness, then plug into the factory harness. Didn't bother running new speaker cables, since I was still using the Monsoon amp. The only speakers I didn't bother changing in the cabin were the tweeters--too much of a hassle.

Something like this (might not be the exact one you need): https://www.amazon.com/Stereo-Harness-Volkswagen-wiring-installation/dp/B00699ECI2

Oh yeah, there was something about the antenna lead--I had to get an adapter. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-VWA2B-VW-Euro-Amplified-Antenna-Adapter/10756180?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=22222222227008819640&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=100780658194&wl4=pla-194126011984&wl5=9032131&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=10756180&wl13=&veh=sem

Both the missus and I have MK6 models and have found the below to be really good.

It's the OEM VW rack. Found for Amazon for $279.99, normally more from the dealer. The OEM rack is manufactured by Thule, iirc.

Installation was super easy. As for the fairing, I am looking into it. Apparently only a select few will fit. The wind noise is not so great. I know that some Inno fairings work, but I don't like the giant stickers or branding.

it’s essentially a micro abrasive compound, which is used to buff out scratches, hazing and whatnot. it needs to be used after wet sanding to get rid of the hazing left behind from the 3000 grit. then you polish after the compound to get an extremely clean, haze-free result. it’s best to use a buffer to apply them but can also be done by simply rubbing with a microfiber pad.

basically you can get all of these products in a simple 3m headlight restoration kit instead of buying a bigger amounts of each separately. if you only need to hit the two spots left from removing your mudguards, i’d suggest just getting a kit instead:

Check and clean your MAF. Don't spray random crap in there, get the proper stuff:

VW Turbos need (at least according the VW) pretty specific and expensive oil. Generally that alone is going to be $40 like this. Filter is another $10. So baseline, the parts alone cost $50. Then it's just a matter of being able to do it. I mean, yeah, you can probably go to Jiffy Lube and get a cheaper oil change, but I'd rather pay more for oil and not worry about the turbo eating its self, especially on a 9 year old car.

I've always used the Amazon feature where you select your car and it tells you if it fits or not.

I just ordered these a few weeks ago and they fit no problems:

If it is an Auto, it would void the warranty. If it is a manual you can tow up to 1650 pounds with 200 tongue weight.
