Fairly new to scene here but I have been digging around enough that I’m starting to get an idea of what I want to do with my 2.0L 8V AVH . But I’m totally lost on how to actually do any of it. I’m looking at the Techtonics 276 cam shaft, with at-least all new springs, I’m not sure what else...

Anyone have a diy or know the steps on removing the bumper and radiator without opening the ac system? I have a bentley but it doesn’t show how to remove the radiator from the front support.

I have always been a fan of classic American cars, but since they're so expensive to drive and maintain, I found it cheaper to buy a boring but practical modern cars and then modify them instead. This is the story of how I installed fins onto my Passat: As I learned from my old Mazda, it's...

Hey everyone, so i just recently purchased the Black Forest Industries Stage 3 clutch with lightweight flywheel and pressure plate. I got everything fully installed today, my issue i am having now is that the motor is not turning over. I thought it was the starter, but i brought the starter to...

Although YouTube has its fair share of how-to channels, this one caught our eye because the maker said she had been inspired by the site. Now, we here at the VW Vortex offices...

So fresh and so clean. What a difference a decade makes, eh? 10 years ago, the Vortex forums were going crazy with the then-new mkV Golf & Jetta, with their 2.0T FSI engine. More hp and torque than the outgoing 24v VR6 in the mkIV may not have swayed the “purists” early on, but there was no...

Reddit's chief export may be cat photos and memes, but every once in a while the users manage to post something that is pure gold.  Case in point is this completely homemade Volkswagen Bus bed made by Reddit user  which cost him roughly $100. Using a bit of ingenuity, pieces found on...

When you're the Chief Technology Officer for a Healthcare firm that specializes in delivery robots, forward thinking just sort of comes with the territory.  After a while of doing what was once considered impossible, I'd imagine you remove the word from your vocabulary.  Such is the case with...

In our world, Sunglasses are a unfortunately a consumable item.  Frequent travel and constant use from May until September during show season means that they are often abused and neglected, causing lenses to be rendered useless after a few months.  This can get to be an expensive proposition if...

Order Here! The EA113 FSI engine has been in use for about 8 years now in VW's and Audi's. It's been plagued with cam follower issues since shortly after its implementation. We've started to notice another wave of wear and failures here in our shop, so we assembled a replacement kit with...
