I Sask here as well. Install a winter front that will help. plug it in overnight, the circulating block heater on these cars do a pretty good job. After work today engine temp was +37C and +25C after a minute of running and temp stabilizing. I run a ScanGauge2 to monitor engine temp, exhaust...

I'm wondering about rear shocks, the bushings have seen better days. I'll have to call the dealer Monday.

I've try'd searching like crazy, any one have a listing of whats all covered under the CPO warranty?

No can do, You'd have to go the tune route.

with manuals the system doesn't turn off the engine unit the engine is at temp, the clutch is released and the transmission is in neutral, And then starts the engine when the clutch get depressed so before even you have it in gear, thus there should not be a delay. Now is it actually viable...

Has anyone added start/stop functionality to their MK6. I believe there is a feature in VCDS and you should upgrade the starter to something that can handle the increased cycles, but does it actually work properly if you just turn it on? Bosch does sell a starter built for start/stop...

Some like to leave the suspension unloaded i.e. on jack stands but I...

My first thought is a CV axle maybe just starting to go.

Well after 2 year 10 months I've Returned to the TDI world. End of 2015 my 2015 Golf TDI was totalled see thread for pics (http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=454435) I ended up buying a 2016 Rav4 Hybrid limited and it was good I enjoyed it, but i missed my diesel and rowing my own...

Update: Well I left the VW world for now. My RAV4 Hybrid arrived last week, and so far so good. It's not gonna match the golf, but with awd and more room at 6.9l/100 I think it'll be ok. I enjoyed my time while I was here and maybe someday I'll return, but for now so long.

In all likelihood, your engine is going to shut off before any damage is done.

It already active. I was hopeing that someone local would be interested so there would be no risk of issues.

Update: Got paid out by insurance last month and after test driving many of vehicles, I ordered a 2016 RAV4 Hybrid. It's not gonna match the golf for fuel eco, but it should do well. Now that everything with insurance is done, I have a few items that guys in this group might be interested in...
