Look under all of the plastic, under the passenger side dash-board, inside the bug... oh, the plastic... On the "others" look under the hood, pull up the rain ...

hi everyone! i recently bought an '04 GTi 1.8t. i already added the Neuspeed catback exhaust and i want to buy some lowered springs. i want about a 1.5" drop,...
I have the H&R srpings, I have a 1.5" drop on my 1.8t and has no need for the sway bar. I don't know about the TEIN springs performance, but i would recommend...
Early cars (year 2000, 2001, some 2002) had problems with >2" drop. The swaybar endlinks were redesigned mid-2002. You won't have any trouble with 1.5" drop on...
I bought my car in Aug- it's a 2003 GTI 1.8... the previous owner installed H+R springs (not sure which ones- they are black..?) and bilsteins all around....

I would simply put an electric blanket on top of the engine, and then close the hood as far as it will go. It may not work as well as an engine block heater,...
I would post this question over at VWVORTEX forums for input as well. Not sure if I would go for the blanket bit, it would be ok if it was in a Garage, but if ...
