wow.. how do you know the leak will not get bigger and you will end up killing 42 children on a school bus? You dont know where its leaking??? master cyl? front or rear calipers or brake line? If you cant afford to fix it, you cant afford to drive it a wreck it at the very least. You...

IIRC There are/was two different motorcycle oil specs.. one for wet clutch and another for none wet clutch. The one for none wet clutch has/had more "friction modifiers" in it and was considered the best oil you could buy as hd diesel oils had to meet emissions. But that was a few years...

dont take the offer!!

Freon and coolant?? one is Freon, the other is antifreeze. I think he said that he did not need to drain the antifreeze to change out the compressor. Not to be confused with r134 (coolant) freon.

Most are saying the same. The jet is sporter, you dont drive it, you wear it. It knows what you want it to do. Its fun, quick nimble, easy to manuver and park. The passat, bigger, different, smoother, quieter, more floaty. Much better family and multi passenger mover. Better for...

my jetta's did not improve till around 15k... and bumped up about 3 mpg's.. you should see the same. driving style also had EVERYTHING to do with mpg.. If you do any idling, or lots of stop lights, forget it. If you do city driving, forget it. I do rural or light suburban driving, lots of it...

Testing has shown the 15 and 16 inch get better mpg and softer ride. 17 and above have more tire mass due to ultra thick sidewalls, and this contributes to lower mpg and much harsher ride. (there were several tests that were noted on this site and others last year or before) Up to 1.8 mpg in...
