VW Diagnostics

We can replace and program modules also.

VW Timing Belts and Timing Chains

The timing system in your VW has the crucial job of synching the power created in the pistons to the transmission input.


Most VW timing belts need service at around 60K miles. In our experience, timing chains last around 100K miles.


We have tooling and expertise in all VW engines, including 4, 6, and 8 cylinders. We especially enjoy working on VR6 and 5 cylinder engines!

VW Turbocharger

VW has been manufacturing turbocharged engines for decades. They are a clever way to increase engine power - or decrease fuel consumption. Turbos are considered wear items, so your VW will need its turbo replaced at around 90-120K miles. The classic code is a P0299.


VW does not make turbos. They use Borg-Werner, a top quality German supplier, instead. Save hundreds over the dealer pricing for the same job.

VW Valve Decarbonization

Modern engine designs have fuel being injected directly into the combustion chamber instead of the intake port. This means the valves are exposed to dust particles that got past the  air filter, carbon, and oil vapors. These elements turn into carbon deposits, which eventually clog the flow of air going into the engine.


This results in misfires, uneven idle, and poor fuel economy.


We DON'T use walnut blasting for our carbon cleaning service, instead cleaning the valves manually with special  chemicals that do not leave any residue. This takes additional time, but warrantees a perfect cleaning process every time.

VW Suspension

VW front end creaking every time you go over a bump? Probably the harsh streets of CT have finally defeated your control arms.


Your VW owes its amazing ride to the superior design of the front suspension. Eight control arms, four per side, keep the car hugging the road.


Our VW front suspension refresh is the best way to get rid of those noises, and welcome back that tight cornering your VW had. See our YouTube video on it.


Ready to fix that suspension? Give us a call.

VW Water Pump Upgrade

Plastic parts have seen steadily increasing use in auto manufacturing. While they tend to perform well initially, the harsh engine environment means they won't last past the new car warranty.


A typical example is the water pump. Most VW pumps last around 60K, and then the housing cracks and leaks coolant. You know an engine running with low or no coolant spells disaster due to overheating.


We have replaced hundreds of water pumps with aluminum ones, providing you with an upgrade for less than the dealer would charge... for another plastic pump.
