    M1009 keys

    Mine were 'misplaced' by my 9 year old, who thought it would be a good idea to take the keys on a quad ride through 19 miles of trails. I need a set, as my truck is a paperweight without them. Thanks

    Bad Headlight ground?

    Finally got my m1009 road worthy, and gave it a run last night. After I stopped for fuel, I noticed the left low beam was dim....like a ground was headed south. At my next stop, the left low beam was OUT. Flipped on high beams, left high beam also dim, within 5 miles it was also out. Should...

    Disabling your deuce

    With the recent rash of theft threads, if you were going to go on a vacation where you wouldn't be able to keep an eye on your MV, what would you do to it to make sure it remains in your possession? Locking the 'chain' it comes with on the steering wheel, obviously. I've seen suggestions of...

Going to Thread tools> Show Printable version only appears to give an option to "Show 40 post(s) from this thread on one page" I'm...

    M1009 U-joints & seal, bushing too?

    My new-to-me M1009 has a driveline vibration and transfer case leak which led me to verify failed driveshaft u-joints, and it looks like the last owner drove with bad the bad u-joints for a while, which took out the seal on the transfer case. I guess the question is, if I'm swapping the joints...

    Throttle return spring broke!

    I was out with the kids giving the old girl a run today... When I came to a stop light and went to stop, the throttle stuck wide open. Made for kind of a hairy stop, but neutral and sticking my foot under the pedal saved the motor from running against the redline. I nursed it to the side of...

    A3 Fule filter change?

    If I can, I am going to try to change my fuel filter before I drive home 450 miles. Since I am flying down, I'd like to know what I need for filters and tools. The TM says 'change it' and gives instructions on priming in section 3, but I need to know what tools, etc, because I am going to be...

    Changing tire on A3?

    Sorry for the obvious question, but I am on my phone and can't search a TM. What tool is needed to get the spare tire on an A3 down? No tool kit in mine :( The tire company says they can't do anything without the tool.

    How do I get it home?

    I recently purchased an M109a4 from GL. I'm supposed to pick it up next Friday, and get it from MD to MA. The issue is, I do not have an Sf97, and GL won't generate one until it is removed, leaving me in a chicken/egg situation title and registration-wise. I would like to drive it back, and...
