    Tire Rotation

    I obviously rotate way more often than most. I rotate every 3,300 miles. Fronts go straight back, rears get crossed going on the front. Most of my cars wear the inside edge of the tire. When there is still signs of tread on the inside edge I have the tires flipped on the wheel to move the worn...

    Big oil leak!

    Are you sure it's the oil filter housing that broke? It is aluminum on this car. The accelerating on it's own and the starter issue needs some attention. We would need more info.

    Squealing from driverside wheel area?...

    You should be able to give the shield a little push with a screwdriver through the wheel. I think they usually rub near the ball joint area.

    Here's a video I did on how to tell what fuel filter you need for BRM, CJAA and CBEA motors. I misspoke in reading the part numbers on both filters. I noticed the first one when I posted it and just now noticed I did the same on the second one as well. Oh well, the pictures and the links are...

    tdi hard lines (underbody)

    There may be some that would work. A gas car has three lines because the EVAP and there may be differences because the fuel filter is at the rear of the car. I could check tomorrow and see if they are still available.

    Started running like a old VW Rabbit?

    I've never found the unplugging the MAF test to be very helpful. Some possible causes of low power are the MAF sensor, poor vacuum, intake leak, clogged fuel filter and a clogged intake. Do you have any codes? Most low power issues are caused by vacuum issues. An easy test is to make sure there...
