    Wiper Blades Other Than OEM?

    I have a 2016 Jetta Sport TSI. I replaced factory blades with Bosch Icons, 24 OE driver and 19 OE passenger. The packaging must say ClearMax 365 for the correct adapters.

    TDIclub Secret Society of BMW Owners (SSBMWO)

    Yesterday my wife, the owner of a 2014 BMW 328d xDrive wagon, received a letter from BMW stating the warranty for the HPFP was extended to 10 years / 120,000 miles. That's great news. The car is 3 years, 4 months old with 50,000 miles. No problems so far with anything. However, my wife doesn't...

    Road Trip 2017

    Can you post pictures of your Schnauzers? I know you used to have a picture of one below your screen name. My wife will appreciate that. It's been nearly 35 years since her Miniature Schnauzer, Elke, passed and the stories about her still keep getting bigger.

    16 Jetta TSI

    Reached 10,000 miles today on the 2016 Jetta 1.8t Sport after 6.5 months of ownership and performed first oil change. I've average 34.6 mpg over that distance. However my best tank mpg hasn't quite equaled my worst tank mpg on my 2001 Jetta TDI. I enjoy driving this car - far more refined and...

    Side Mirror Swap

    I believe the GLI mirrors have a different electric plug. I was looking to replace the side vies mirrors on my 16 Jetta TSI Sport and after reading up on the replacements I determined the GLI plugs were different than non GLI mirrors. The TSI Sport has power and heated side view mirrors but not...

    16 Jetta TSI

    The weather is all relative. I'm the Municipal Engineer for a northern New Jersey municipality. A few years ago in late March a couple from the Town came to see me about a water problem in their rear yard that they wanted me to examine. They asked if I could inspect it in a day or two since...

    Is this normal, or is it the blend door

    I noticed the same on my 2001 Jetta especially on warm/hot days with plenty of sunshine. If there's cloud cover for extended period or even nightfall the vent output seems about the same as outdoor air. I believe the sun beating down on the black dashboard increased the temperature of the vent...
