    I actually did call few places but they quoted 350-400$ including MAACO. So I might try to wrap them they are not super curvy except 2 parts.

    Newbie TDI owner...

    If you bought it with CPO warranty, they will fix it. If not try to see if it is something that diesel gate warranty will cover?

    Hi there. I found nice set of VW retro wheels for sale with 225/45/17 tires. I think our NMS Passat has 215/55/17 for OEM wheels. Currently have 235/45/18 on my car. Any comments on mpg or rubbing or any other issues I might have? Did you try to fit these tires in your NMS Passat and how was...

    Should I get one of these?

    I bought mine 2013 TDI SE w sunroof and navigation at 17.000 miles CPO for almost 14k. Of course after financing ,dealer fees,taxes and some dealer add ons,went up but the base price for the car was reasonable as sticker price in 2013 was 33k. In my opinion as long as you get CPO car should be...

    Coilovers or Springs?

    I think you are right. I always heard that coilovers were close to 800-900$. I was wondering why they looked cheap. I think I will go with the springs, probably H&R. Thanks!

But it really depends, some Shell stations I went to gave me very bad mpg on my daily route,avg mph. I started using LiquiMoly diesel additive I bought from amazon. It is a 300ml...
