I'm always interested in hearing different ways to express things so my verbiage doesn't get stale. What phrases would you suggest I add to my vocabulary instead of this particular one?

The VW O2M transmission is not made of anything spectacular or unusual, as far as transmissions go. Any decent transmission shop can rebuild it. No need for a specialist.

Recaro Trophies recovered in leather.

If you're in SoCal I'd recommend checking at the LKQ Pick Your Part locations for anything that uses that tranny... Audi, Jetta, Beetle, Passat... plenty out there, though to be fair most of them are the DSG auto. I did see at least one at LKQ Chula Vista last weekend.

@@CliffjumperCars Florida but I appreciate the input. I've been searching the locks yards but I may need to extend my search to other states. Love the videos, keep it up!

Earlier in the video you mentioned changing the coilovers out for h&r and Bilstein shocks. Are the current coilovers in the car ST by the KW brand?

@@billbradley6380 What was on her for awhile were FK coilovers. They were VERY LOW. At their highest setting, they were barely in the range of what I'd consider streetable. Great for folks that are into super low. Not great for folks that need to drive over speed bumps, and in and out of driveways. When I filmed this, I did put on the OEM GLI Bilstien shocks and H&R springs, but unfortunately I found immediately that the Bilstiens were completely blown out. :( So I have been in the process of swapping around suspensions a bit between our two Mk4 Jettas... the other one had stock GLS springs and Koni FSD shocks, and the Koni shocks were pretty tired so I sent them back for warranty rebuild. They sent me a set of their new Active shocks in replacement (I think they're FSDs just in a different color with a different name). Those Koni shocks are going on Joan with that set of OEM GLI H&R springs, and I'm refreshing the rest of the suspension with new bushings, bearings, mounts, etc. The silver Jetta is going to also get a set of OEM GLI H&R springs but either Bilstien or KYB AGX shocks. I have another set of Bilstiens that I need to take by their factory here and see if they'll rebuild them. If they will, then I'll go with them. If not, then I'll go for the KYB's.

@@CliffjumperCars I was wondering cause they look similar to the St's I have on my vr6 Corrado. They are almost at full height and still too low for my taste and I never cared for the way they handled or rode on the street. My plan was to change them out for adjustable Koni shocks/struts (I forget the model), along with h&r sport springs. I know the Rado is a different beast altogether but I'm hoping this will be a much better setup for the road. GL with the Jetta teardown!

The LEDs should be oriented horizontally, pointing directly left and right within the housing.

@@CliffjumperCars i have hb5 bulb in Jetta and only one option, when leds looks up and down. what i can do in this situation?

@@MN-xn4in the LED bulb should be able to rotate on its collar. Remove it, loosen the collar, rotate it 90*, tighten the collar, and reinstall.

Interestingly, I pulled it out and double checked all the wiring. It's standard ISO. Constant 12V+ wire where it's supposed to be, switched 12V+ wire where it's supposed to be. Checked the actual voltage as well with a multimeter. 12V+ in the constant power pin, switched 12V+ in its appropriate spot too. Power supply is exactly what it is supposed to be.

Yaw

Yaw sensor not yawning, and disconnecting ABS not only disables ABS, it disables the stability control, making our 6500+ lb hard to stop vehicles pretty unsafe. DO NOT disconnect your ABS. FIX the system so it works as it should!! Also, disconnecting the ABS guarantees you will permanently have the ABS/VSC/TRAC lights illuminated on your dash. So no, not a fix.

VW stopped supporting this after 2005 and it hasn't stopped me from enjoying it or using it... come to think of it, in all of our vehicles we have radios that are unsupported by the car manufacturer. Hasn't been an issue.

2k clear coat begins to harden as soon as you press in the red button and mix the activator with the rest of the can's ingredients, so it's only good for an hour or so, then it will no longer spray. So while yes, you can use the can for more than one set of headlights, you need to do them all at once, because the clear coat has a time limit on it once you activate it.

Thanks for adding that tip. This may be true IF your gauge does not read at all. If your fuel gauge is moving all over the place, then it's definitely NOT what you describe. When the lead is disconnected, there is zero signal to the rheostat, and the cluster gets no signal, hence the gauge does not ever move.

I could see that being a good strategy for most pavement queen scenarios. Being that we do occasionally take the truck out into the middle of nowhere on trails & mild rock crawling, and we've had occasion to actually use it twice in the past 5 years under said circumstances, I think we'll keep the spare handy.

I think I actually still have a cd ROM with it, let me check around and see if I can upload that disk image to dropbox.

Happy to help. My wheels are 1994 HRE Model 535's in 16x8, the only set made in 5x100, specifically for Corrado VR6 fitment.

Also if you need some extra parts we have 5 Phatboxes in storage that we could part out 😂

That is super cool~~~!!! And yes, definitely still enjoying it!!!!

Any info on the home standalone unit PHU-020? I have/found one, but need some info especially usable software for PC and there is a software plugin to install a user interface to connect it to a TV

I got mine on RockAuto.com

@@CliffjumperCars thanks! I'll check it out!. I'm hoping after this replacement the P0606 code will also disappear.

ABSOLUTELY!! Try the simple stuff first: lock lubrication, try a different key, try with a brand new cut key from a dealer... THEN and only then, replace the ignition if it's just plain broken.

To be clear, these are micro precision hex bits, not the standard size you might use in a drill. Much smaller diameter. I have them in my precision computer repair kit.

My pleasure! I LOVE THIS THING. In fact, it saved me this past Friday, when I was at the beach and discovered a flat tire in my car. Was able to inflate it using this pump and get it home where I could make repairs.

Glad to help!

If you've never done drum brakes before, you *can* do them and learn on this. BUT drums aren't quite as straightforward as disc brakes, and these are a combo of both drums and discs. I'd highly recommend finding someone to join you as a coach/mentor who has done it before so you get it right the first time. But there are LOTS of great UA-cam videos on how to do drum brakes. Watch them til you're pretty familiar and give it a go.

@@CliffjumperCars thx

@@CliffjumperCars how do you know if the calipers need to be replaced?

Happy to help!

Happy to help!

Just circling back on this, because I've done a couple of videos on this issue: 1) Use a Toyota specific scan tool to get the exact factory level codes to narrow down what's going on, since the generic OBD codes point to about 30 different possible problems. 2) BlueDriver and other bluetooth dongle type code readers are inconsistent at reading factory codes on older Toyotas like ours, so use an actual plug-in type scan tool. Again, it needs to be a Toyota specific scan tool, not a generic one, to get the factory level codes. 3) IF your factory level scan tool cannot read the ABS control unit AND you put in a new ABS unit , and it STILL does not read the codes, your OBD port itself may be the issue, as it was with ours.

I love that idea. Even a properly mounted PVC pipe as a guide for the rod would probably work well, and yes - some sort of dust cover around the winch assembly would be helpful to keep it from seizing up!!

The thing is, even though we can remove and flip the striker, we cannot remove the ends of the striker to slide the tube onto it. It's permanently affixed to the plate. That would have been a great solution though!!!

The discs I have in mine are the ones I bought new in 2015, so they're about a decade out of date. There are tons of discs available on Ebay but most do not have a year update marking, so unfortunately without getting the set directly from Navtech, it's going to be hard to get reasonably updated discs.

I'm surprised these little things are as potent as they are... am used to big jump packs that weigh 10X as much!!

BTW the power locks no longer work either.

That usually means you're not using the correct plug & play harness adapter.

My guess is something is still not connected. Gotta go back and check every connector

@@CliffjumperCars thanks

No worries. Those were made by TEC Automobildesign in Germany, sadly a tuner that no longer exists. They used Opel Calibra side skirts, shortened to fit the Corrado, and then wrapped them in carbon fiber.

H3 bulbs typically don’t have a ground cable because the mounting ring on the housing acts as a ground connection. You can add one by soldering on a wire with the spade connector you may need to make it work, to swap bulbs.

@@CliffjumperCars Good, I thought I would have to buy a new one, but apparently it can be used, Thanks for answering.

Thanks!

You are correct, the maximum height those coilovers can get is 30mm lower than stock. That said, I've driven my R32 in the snow a couple of winters, it's 30mm lower than stock, and it's just fine in the snow.

@@CliffjumperCars and how can i make it atleast the same hight?

@@the_steko you would need to find a different set of coilovers that have a greater adjustment range. There are some that in fact allow lifting higher than stock height, in addition to lowering. I'd recommend trying to find people that do overlander and baja builds on their vehicles to find out which models of coilovers work for your purpose. You can also reach out directly to the larger suspension manufacturers to ask specifically what model they have which will do what you want it to do. Koni and Bilstien are very responsive via email; I can't speak to other manufacturers but if you're wanting to go with H&R, reach out to them.

@@CliffjumperCars thank you

Washing the coils regularly to get rid of grease, dust, dirt, tree sap, bugs, bird poop, all the normal stuff that accumulates on an outside unit is good preventative maintenance. Inside units in a restaurant usually benefit from an actual coil cleaning spray and agitation with a brush to clean it out, plus we treat the condensation pans with tablets to keep bacterial growth from taking place.
