Gil Pereira brought his MK4 GTI 20th Anniversary back to the shop for a few upgrades and maintenance items.

We installed a set of smoked fender turn signal lights and smoked taillights to give the car a cleaner, updated look. We also upgraded the charging system with a Clusters By Litke 2-gauge alternator wiring harness and replaced the notorious fuse panel above the battery to improve reliability.

While it was here, we unclogged and cleaned the sunroof drains to help prevent water intrusion issues and serviced the A/C system to keep it blowing cold for the Florida summer.

Little details and preventative maintenance go a long way in keeping these MK4s on the road and looking their best.

After many conversations about upgrading the audio system, Angel finally brought us his 1998 VW GTI in for a complete sound system makeover.

He supplied a new Kenwood Single-DIN head unit along with two sets of JBL GTO 6.5” component speakers for the front and rear, which he had been saving for this install.

We removed the existing Alpine head unit, factory tweeters and midrange speakers, as well as an old set of Kicker coaxials that had been installed in the front doors.

To get the most out of the new JBL components, we recommended and installed a Concrete Audio CA1200.4SLM 4-channel amplifier. For bass duties, we added a Concrete Audio CA800.1SLM mono amplifier paired with a Concrete Audio C1 Series 10” subwoofer loaded in a Concrete Audio ported enclosure.

Both amplifiers were cleanly mounted to the rear seat with a tidy, serviceable wiring layout to keep everything looking as good as it sounds.

The final result? A loud, clean, and crystal-clear sound system with the perfect amount of bass fill from the 10” subwoofer. Another MK3 hitting the road with audio that’s finally worthy of the drive.

hei$t. stopped back by the shop for some routine maintenance and a few upgrades.

We started with a 5,000-mile service using LIQUI MOLY motor oil and a fresh MANN-FILTER USA oil filter to keep everything running at its best.

Next up, we added a Forge Motorsport USA blow-off valve vent to atmosphere, then wrapped things up with a carbon fiber steering wheel upgrade featuring paddle shifters to give the interior a more aggressive look and feel.

Angela brought us her 2023 Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail Edition with one simple request:

“I used my Jeep all weekend at the beach with the top off, and it’s so hard to hear the factory stereo. I need a system done.”

WE GOT YOU. 🔊🔥

Her Gladiator came equipped with the factory amplified audio system featuring 3” upper dash tweeters, 4” lower dash speakers, 3” tweeters and 4” midbass speakers in the tower soundbar, plus a factory subwoofer. Unfortunately, the factory setup just couldn’t keep up with Florida beach days and top-off cruising.

We started by removing the factory audio components and integrating a PAC Audio APH-CH03 Amp Bypass Harness into an AudioControl LC5i PRO Line Output Converter with AccuBASS® and signal summing. Power comes from a pair of Concrete Audio amplifiers, including a CA1200.4SLM 4-channel amplifier and a CA1500.1SLM mono amplifier.

The new setup features:
▪️ Concrete Audio CT38 3.6″ Super Tweeter
in the upper dash
▪️ Concrete Audio CCA6NDCFCX4 6.5” Carbon Fiber Cone CCA Coaxials in the lower dash
▪️ Concrete Audio CCA69NDCF4 6x9” Carbon Fiber Cone Midrange speakers in the tower soundbar
▪️ Dual 10” Skar VS-10 Shallow Mount Subwoofers in a ported under-seat enclosure

The result? Crystal-clear vocals, incredible output, and bass that you can feel. Whether cruising with the top off or parked at the beach, this Gladiator is now guaranteed to turn heads and keep the music front and center.

The smile on Angela’s face at delivery made every hour of the install worth it. Thank you for trusting JED Autoworx with your Jeep!

Eddie’s Audi B8.5 RS5 4.2L V8 is back in the shop for this intermittent hot start issue that had us digging deep.

After extensive research and consulting with some of our Audi technician friends, we decided to take a less invasive approach and replace the crankshaft position sensor. Even though the vehicle wasn’t storing any fault codes related to the CPS, it made sense as the next logical step before moving into the much more labor-intensive process of removing the intake manifold to inspect the fuel injectors.

Following 2½ days of testing under multiple driving conditions, heat soak cycles, shutdowns, and hot restarts, we’re happy to report that the RS5 has not experienced a single hot start issue since the repair.

With the starting concern resolved, Eddie also asked us to clean up some aftermarket audio wiring that was installed prior to his ownership. We fabricated a custom carpeted birch wood panel and reorganized the amplifier and line output converter wiring in the spare tire well for a much cleaner, more professional appearance.

Nothing beats solving a challenging diagnostic issue and sending a customer home with a vehicle they can enjoy with confidence.

Finished up Frank’s clean MK4 Jetta GLI with a fresh round of maintenance and upgrades to keep it driving its best.

We started with a oil service, replaced the right front ABS wheel speed sensor harness, installed new strut mount bushings, and fitted a new projector headlight with fresh HID bulbs to improve nighttime visibility.

Frank also wanted a custom lighting setup, so we rewired the city lights to operate from the fog light position on the factory headlight switch. This allows him to cruise with just the parking lights when desired while still being able to shut them off when running the low beams.

To wrap things up, we adjusted the suspension dampening for a more comfortable daily-driver setup. After the final test drive, it’s safe to say this may be one of the smoothest-riding MK4s we’ve driven in a long time. It honestly doesn’t drive like a 22-year-old car.

This is the 3rd MK7 GTI we’ve had in the shop over the last two months with a failed Coolant Shut-Off Valve (N82) — must be the Florida heat taking its toll!

We got ’s GTI taken care of by replacing the faulty N82 valve, then properly vacuum-filled and bled the cooling system to eliminate any air pockets and ensure everything is operating as it should.

Keeping these MK7s cool and reliable, one repair at a time.
