Wow. Didnt realize you got that much done! Bravo!This weekend I de-modded the car to pass CA emissions bull$****...

Nice work Zedbra,Drove the car up and over the Duffey Hwy that goes from Lilloett to Pemberton. Was sunny up to Lilloett, then the Duffey got real ugly. There was almost 100km of 4" of unplowed snow on a very twisty and bumpy highway - complete with one lane bridges. The drive took some time, but my little Jetta as the only non 4x4 on the road that day!
Near the bottom of the highway - I needed to get out and relax a little
Picked up my first TDI on Thursday from the dealer. And dropped it off Friday for some window tint. Strange thing, I actually look forward to getting behind the wheel again.
Welcome to the Darkside .......Picked up my first TDI on Thursday from the dealer. And dropped it off Friday for some window tint. Strange thing, I actually look forward to getting behind the wheel again.
I just filled up for my second 800+ tank in a row, with about 60/40 Hwy/Cty, and I know my engine is so far out of wack in terms of tuning lol... I go like 58mph everywhere, maybe 60I have no idea how people get this kind of fuel economy...I'd like to see my trip flip 8xx on a tank. Most I've ever seen is 730or so...and calculating fuel economy was 47 mpg or something like that. That was driving down i5 from SF to LA....totally flat lands. Maybe I need a scan gauge.
I hope you didn't get tired of shifting into 6th before 1500 miles though .It's a lot shorter than the OEM one (duh!) and a little tight particularly on the 1-2 and R side. Even with that it's nicer than the stock one by far. It'll break in and loosen up.
My 5 speed one I had for 150k miles and loved it - I was tired of the OEM 6 speed one before 1500 miles
Great product from Diesel Geek!
