But like the saying goes...
DSM's turning the average car owner into a mechanic since 1989



Some of us may not be certified mechanics but you don't need to be to gain knowledge on these cars. I'm not certified mechanic but I did swap turbos on the TSI I had. I also pulled the engine and tranny and dropped another engine in with tranny and did a bunch of other stuff. There's a first for everything, thats how come you buy the "DSM bible" and read and try. I was just offering advice. I did most of my stuff without asking too many questions. Its common sense and it takes no genius to loosen bolts, take things off and replace them with new parts the opposite way you took the old part(s) off. Breaking studs can happen to anybody, even a certified mechanic.
