Thank you! Not a bad price, if you need it now. Even has a Sub&Save option that knocks off another 10%.

$46 here...

To add another datapoint, with my 15 Jetta, after years of reliable service I now experience the loss of coolant, conveniently announced by the low coolant light. When it happened the first time, I had the coolant flushed (first time so I guess it was about time). Now it has happened another...

Thanks again for your replies DC, Drew & OH! I can purchase a kit at ID Parts or somewhere and provide the parts to the mechanic. I don't have ramps nor a place to work on. Still got about a year or so left until it hits 80k.

Not sure I have the expertise/tools to do it myself. Just wondering if there was anything super special about the DSG, you know, different from say a Honda/Toyota/GM. So basically it is mainly about getting the right filter and fluid. Push back same volume that drains out. The whole...

Thank you! I don't have vcds, no. I guess the average chrysler/dodge mechanic wouldn't have that either, right?

Would you let any average repair shop do the DSG on a 2015 Jetta TDI? Or is this something for dealers and trusted specialist mechanics only?

So to follow up, I got some new tires and then got it on an alignment machine. It wasn't actually off much, most measurements in spec or borderline. I have gathered that there is no way to adjust "toe" (in or out) on these cars. Or maybe I misunderstood. Like Indi says, perhaps the failure to...

Thanks guys, really appreciate your help! I'll contact an alignment shop and see what they can do.

Thanks for your reply! No, it does not bounce. So you think it's not the shocks? I have seen the result of shot shocks and it doesn't look like that (worn patches, vibrations when driving). What would cause "toed out too much"? Just getting out of alignment over the years? From the outside the...

Switched from gasser to diesel.

My first diesel was an 82 Chevy Impala. Terrible car, GM just switched the gas to a diesel engine, and added a battery because a single one couldn't crank the beast. But I traveled (and sometimes lived) in it throughout the Southeast, spent a Winter in Minnesota (crazy), and finally made it to...

My rear tires are completely worn on the inside ("Camber wear"). Is this where I need to replace the rear shocks? Something like this? https://www.idparts.com/bilstein-rear-shock-a5mk6-1k0513029gh-127439-p-5333.html Besides that, do I need anything else looked at? Control arm bushings? CV...

Thank you Sir! I think I'll wait a little longer then. Have you had any experience with failed timing belts? One hears horror stories here and there, of course, that may be a very small percentage in the TB lottery.
