Yes! I was referring to the MK4's! You got it right. That's what I was referring to in my post. Thanks much!

Never ever buy a fumoto for a vw car... Too low to the ground! (unless you keep your belly pan on). I have read several threads on here from over a decade ago detailing engine failures due to drivers striking objects and destroying their fumotos & their engines. However, on a pickup truck, i...

It is plausible. Remember, turbo pipes can loosen if they aren't installed right the first time.

Common sense... you live in a cold environment. Let your car idle in neutral for a few minutes, then row the gearbox. Repeat this again. Then, proceed to your destination. Shift slowly.

Wow! Fluidampr gettin' in the act... are you racing that car? Just curious.

I discussed nearly 2 years ago... here's the skinny... remove the old filter, visually inspect the fuel inside the canister. If there is no water or sediment, replace the filter. If not, clean and then pour in fresh fuel or PowerService; proceed with the new filter installation. Other than...

I would like to check the oil level after the engine is completely cold and the car is parked on a flat surface. That way, you can figure out how bad the leak was- by checking the dipstick. Top off if needed.

Ok. Best of luck!

I have a question- do you store your car in a garage? Temps are critical for these cars. Just let it idle a couple of minutes and see if you can make the DSG do its shifting at or below 2200 rpms. When you get to the first or second mark on the temp gauge increase your speed and shift points to...

My 23N5 ECM update letter was received this afternoon. I can't wait to drink my free cup of java at the VW dealership afterwards.

Can it be done during the summertime, BEFORE Labor Day? I have 2 + months off in the summertime & would love to attend one of these events but the Labor Day Holiday is a no go!

Oh if we could only figure out how to put in an ALH into the NMS! LOL!
