    When to replace the coolant?

    I would say the advice that IndigoBlueWagon gave is solid. When the timing belt is done at 120k (or 130K on the older cars) just ask the mechanic to finish draining the system and refill when doing the belt, water pump and all the required bits...

    Malone tune/ modified buyback

    My date is 12/30 and I am taking mine back as she sits.. Only thing I have done is remove my nice alloys and replace with steels... Leaving the tune and pipes... Not spending the money to put it back... Gotta air up the tires though... They are may pops and are really low from sitting...

    Replacement Car - Passat Gas 1.8 T

    We traded our 2012 TDI Passat for a 2015 1.8t last year and it is still a great car. The torque is very tdi like ironically... The only thing I don't like is the regular auto trans. The DSG in the TDI was much smoother and shifted better. Also the mpg is surprisingly good... I can get 40mpg...

    EFT Transfer

    My payment for my seller compensation came within 2 days after I signed up with Chase. Was pretty quick... Just look close to the spam folder to be sure the sign up email doesn't get lost... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Anyone NOT thrashing their TDI or skipping maintenance/upkeep?

    I went ahead and parked mine right before the 110K service so I wouldn't need to do it... I also wanted to stay in the 105-110K mile bracket... Pulled my stock tires and wheels from storage that are extremely bald and switched them out... Hoping to get my offer letter soon as mine has been...

    Is the "10 Business Days" meaningless?

    Exactly... Trying to stay optimistic... I have parked mine and moved on but would love to get it out of my back yard and the money in my account... Would be a nice Christmas bonus... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I467 using Tapatalk

    Offer with loan

    I have 109,950 miles and don't want to go into the next mileage bracket. Plus I am so OCD, I would feel obligated to get an oil change too... Just simpler for me in my mind to park it. I also have removed all my aftermarket parts including tires and wheels... The stock tires that went back on...
