Greetings!
3 weeks ago I had my clutch replaced and my DMF changed out to a SMF….
the car drove fine for about a week and several hundred miles. Last week on a return trip from Killeen to Houston I couldn’t get the transmission out of 5th gear. I was able to nurse it home and after looking...
Greetings all...
I am just about to roll over 250k on my 06 Jetta TDI and am looking hard at the used Passat TDI market. The 06 still runs and drives well with no issues to speak of, but when I see a 2014 Passat TDI with 56k miles for 9k, I have to consider it.

My best tank has returned 58mpg driving...
So... I was at the O'Reilly auto parts store the other day to get some oil for the 10k service.
The only choices there are Shell Rotella T5 (15w40), T6 (5w40), and Mobile TDT (5w40).
I KNOW that these are NOT VW approved oils. The salesman tried to tell me that Rotella was the best...
