    I Am On Schedule To Achieve 900 Miles On One Tankful

    Update!!! Actually, I must have had a westerly tailwind on the way from Ft. Pierce, FL to Lake Placid, FL. On the way back the next day, I must have had an easterly headwind because my total range dropped to 870 miles. Still not too shabby average though!

    loss of power after fuel filter??

    I would say that "after" does not apply, unless you parked it for 2 weeks immediately after you changed it, and did not drive for 2 weeks.

    Rear Window Squirter

    Does the rear window squirter have its own bottle, or does it draw from the under the hood bottle? Mine doesn't squirt, yet I can't find a 2nd bottle to fill. :mad:

    Did anyone buy one from a VW backlot? How long did yours take?

    Simply call a few nearby VW dealerships, and tell them you want a fresh from VW "fixed" TDI. They can tell you what they have, and take your number and call you when they get in one like you want if they don't.

    Acceleration Lag

    Or if it is a "dirty" TPS (throttle position sensor), with the ignition OFF, fully depress and release accelerator pedal rapidly 15-20 times. I've done this on a few vehicles with TPS, and it actually helped.

    TDIclub Secret Society of BMW Owners (SSBMWO)

    Glad to see this thread. Have to get this off my chest!!! Had a 2010 X5 xDrive d35 that the engine BLEW at only 113K miles!!! Put a buttload of money into swapping the engine for a used 2011 engine, but still had other issues, and frankly I was jaded by the vehicle, so I traded in on a 2012...
