Vwvortex has seen to fall to the side. Had someone comment and nobody cares for no reason I've been with that site since 2009. Some people make me laugh. So hoping this is a more supportive positive place and "family".

vortex is a bunch of kids mostly. I can only stand it in short surfs - 10-15 mins per month or so.

This site is fine, but we can get a bit cranky when the same questions are asked over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

Love the new fuel filter cap design and hose layout. Its flat surface helps prevent sand from coming into the fuel filter during replacement. 2015 steering wheel feels nice. Love the wht outside blk inside color and your well-organized cozy garage :p

If you're really upset about the drilled bumper, have the dealer comp it for you. Cover a few extra oil changes or something. Doesn't Iowa require a front plate though?

Okay so I keep getting replies to use fuel additives. For winter and non cold months? Is this the same since I have the new motor?

people love additives on this site. I maintain there is no need but anyways....

If you feel the need, 1 during the colder months might be an idea if you're concerned about getting D2 when it's very cold (which will gel)

During the summer, we have no data on the new engine to support it's need for additives.

It is a personal choice......however with the Failures of HPFP in the the 09 up Common Rail cars..... It is a fact Diesel Fuel here is not good for the most part
