Indeed!!

As you suspected. Great news WINNER WINNER chicken dinner :D The mpg is heading back up. I'm now just 1 mpg shy of normal. Seems it's getting used to my driving habits again and the parameters are dialing in. Needless to say I'm stoked.

Believe me... I calculate my mileage each and every time, and it's always right around 40 mpg. I drive the same 132 miles per day over hills and valleys. I also just changed the fuel filter about a month ago, usually I see a tiny increase in mpg after that. Nothing else could account for a...

Yes, yes and yes. And different fuel stations also. :-/ Yup, the DMV would not renew my registration without proof of correction. By the short and curlies they have us

I had this done last week on my 2010 Jetta. Two tanks of fuel later and I am getting 5 to 6 miles per gallon LESS in mileage. PISSED!!!!!

2010 Jetta I paid $13,900 in March 2015 for my '10 Jetta in pristine condish, $56k miles, 6-speed manual with one owner. Purchased in Jan. 2011 and owned/driven for 3 years+ 7 months. Black leather interior, sunroof, alloy wheels, all the bells and whistles. The price was just underneath...

So that's why you talk funny ;) "It's the prerogative of anyone seeking help on these Forum's to give back by posting a follow-up solution for their particular dilemma" is an interesting way of saying 'thanks for the follow up'... and of course, I joke! Happy Friday, Mr. Dude.

Gotcha! :D

That's what I just did :confused:

Follow up: YAY!!!!! Forgive me for being long winded, but it's in my nature.... While I was out of town, my father went to pick it up from the transmission shop and was going to trailer it over to a TDI guru (Shaz) but the nearly-brand-new battery was dead (thanks transmission dude, for leaving...

Exactly The new mechanic said exactly what you both said, Mtn.Valley and Halocline. He said you change the cam when you do the timing belt and it's only a few hundred bucks above what you're paying for the TB. My trusted mechanic is Chris / Autowerkstat. When he said $3K, he may have meant...

I'm going to take Woodstock to a trusted mechanic in the area. I called him up and he made me feel comfortable, it was immediately evident he has vast knowledge of these cars and is extremely familiar with this o2jthingymabob. He says if it something internal like sliders or slide forks, you...

No noises at all. Just poof, 4th gear disappeared.

Thank you. Hmmm, great advice. I need to find the right guy to check the linkage issue that some of you've pointed to, that is not something I can do myself. My mechanic is very trusted but the problem is he is always backlogged for months and I'm not even sure he does or wants to do...

I believe I jinxed myself by always singing the praises of my TDI motor and boasting about how long it will last... The transmission said 'oh yeah? give me some credit or else!' Anyhow, I am hard pressed to think it's internal, but what do I know? Not much. The problem occurred when I was...

Believe me, we (my dad and I) worked the ever-living crud out of that thing, tapping gently with he handle of a wrench, wiggling it, everything. There was plenty of fuel around to lube it. It would not go in, no matter what. It had to be something with the sizing of the shoulders of the thing...

Strangest thing happened to me today. I'm still scratching my head. Went to change the fuel filter, and couldn't get the mickey mouse clip back on. Clip would go 'in' but would not grab the edges of the valve. Kept skimming over the top of the assembly, under the cap. Seemed the divertor valve...

"Drive more, worry less. Good luck." Love this quote. Says it all. Hahaha. 130 miles per day, minimum. BTW, what is a CR?

I feel so much better now I was like "***?" LOL. Thanks for the confirmation that that's just the way it is. Enjoy your weekend everyone! EDIT: wow, the forum doesn't let you use three letters together - the three that begin the words Where's The Food ??? hahaha. Sorry. Didn't realize that...

Ok, thanks Atebitz!
