Now you see where I am coming from. If it is on the internet it must be true so I must be simultaniously able to and not able to install my carseat in the center. For the time being I have placed mine on the passenger side (mainly because they continued to show either passenger or driver side...

Putting a baby seat in the middle seat? I've got a kid due in 3 weeks and just got done placing the car seat. I read the manual 4 times and couldn't tell for sure if I was able to place a car seat in the center. The LATCH points are only on the passenger and driver side, but I was going to...

6'8" is a whole different ballgame! Agreed you will more than likely need brackets for this. Shouldn't be overly expensive though as its just a couple of pieces of flat bar and bit of welding.

I am 6'5" and regularly sit in the passenger seat. With the seat slid all the way back and ratched all the way down and leaned back a bit, my knees do not hit the dash. I've noticed that ratching the seat down as low as it will go does give an extra inch or so of room.

37 mpg on 2 occasions. First tank from the dealer and the 1st tank after getting my misfuel gaurd in place. I have a feeling the later wasn't really a full tank as it kept clicking off throughout the fill up so I just gave up. Fixed that problem real quick...

$3.79 B5-20 (only at the Murphy station) $3.89 D2 (Sheetz, Shell, BP) RUG is $3.51

According to the maintence manual, the 50K mile service should also include a brake fluid and clutch fluid change if you are running about 10k miles/year.

^ My 2012 has a push button start and if you simply press the start button quickly (do not hold down) it will turn on the accessories without cranking the motor. Press and hold and it will crank.

^ Agreed. I work in manufacturing and have actually taken things from the show to apply at the site I work. I even have my wife watching the show (much to the dismay of her family).

Leith has been pretty good to me I must say. Not typically a fan of dealers (black listed from 2 local Dodge dealers) but Lieth did work with me on the IC Icing issue and got me covered under warranty. Also had a disagreement with them over the radiator leaking, but after reviewing with their...

They are about a foot in front of the rear tire and I believe about the same behind the front tire. The space is designated by an embossed triangle in the bottom trim that runs from the front wheel to the back. I had a hard time finding the triangles on mine due to dirt and grim, but once I...

I completed the 40,000 mile service in the driveway this weekend along with the DSG fluid change. Not too bad. Using the VCDS was very straight forward and was able to prime the fuel pumps without issue. Also changed the oil and fuel filter in my Dodge so I've got about 5 gallons of used oil...

Agreed with the above. Mine wouldn't crank and had it towed immediately (I was outside of warranty). Called the dealer first thing in the morning, told them it was hydro locked and provided them with the TSB. As I live in NC they had never seen it before but confirmed it quickly and got me...

ChiTownPilot - I had mine done outside of warrenty. Car was completely locked up and had to have it towed in. As I live in NC it was the first the dealer had ever seen of the issue. VW covered everything and I was outside of my 36k mile warranty. It did say "good faith" on my invoice so not...
