    2010 TDI meets a deer

    First off, I have no love for dealers but; If you look at any MKV from the front the emblem is not perfectly centered, so I wouldn't stress too much on that. Also, the part you took a picture of with the scrapes on it is not the bumper cover, it is the valence. They might have refurbished the...

    TDI GTG - Las Vegas

    Yes they can wait and any of the dates would work. Hope it happens. Went to a GTG in Cal at Wild Rose and got an RC tune a few years ago and had a great time. Nice to have one here.

    Any more info on this? Ive spoken to Matt and if this happens he is going to do timing belts on two friends 06 Jettas. Need to make this happen. I'm sure there are more people that could use some work from Matt.

    Under Hood Cleaning

    Caution: Washing engine can kill fuel mileage!!!!!!!!!!!!! Washed engine a couple of months ago prior to the start of the LSU vs Arkansas football game. After washing I started the engine and let it idle to dry the water off. I've done this dozens of times before without incident, but...

    Las Vegas Smog test on CR diesels

    Don, I have always enjoyed your posts for information, this post I enjoy for entertainment! Are you really complaining about saving a minimum of $45 a year ($75 if you would have been able to do the smog @ JS on American Pacific) on your registration? FYI: According to the DMV website our cars...

    Collapsed '09 Oil Filter

    Too lazy to read the entire thread so this might have already been mentioned. Do you think that the filter design was changed so that you could get a little bit of lateral flex in it making it easier to maneuver into the canister?

    How can I tell if my new (used) car is already chipped/tuned?

    My 05.5 was tuned by RC and was done via OBD. The only way to tell was by the flash count. I then tuned it with Alligator via OBD. Same as RC only way to tell was flash count although with that tuner you could reset the counter. Just curious: What color is your car?

    Front left Whell slinging oil on 09 TDI DSG

    Write a letter to VWOA also because if you bring a car in for a concern and it is still under warranty there should be no charge. Stealers!!!!!!!!!!

    Front left Whell slinging oil on 09 TDI DSG

    On older cars you would see it all the time when the wheel bearings weren't a sealed unit and the only thing keeping the grease in was a dust cap, if the cap would come loose grease would come out. With the sealed bearings on these newer cars the only way grease can come out of the bearing is...

    Front left Whell slinging oil on 09 TDI DSG

    Just had our Sportwagon in to the service dept. on Friday for the same thing only for the right front wheel. After removing the wheel and inspecting, it was found that the problem was from excess grease on the axle during assembly. I thought they were full of S, and was sure it was a blown...

    traction control issues with lowering ?

    ?How would the system know the car is lowered? Stiffer suspension could cause a change in the way weight is shifted, but it should reduce dive therefore keeping more weight on the rear wheels reducing lock up.

    09 DSG Transmission Problem

    Was told the part would take seven days to arrive, was surprised when they called and said the part arrived in four. The service Tech doesn't have a clue when parts are due to arrive or where they come from. If you want to know that information you need to talk to the Parts Manager. I would...
