    2015 Wagon - holding out hopes

    I can. In my 2010 JSW. I'm 6". I used to build a tent when going camping, but I realized I don't have to, since I can just sleep in the back of the wagon. I have to remove the head rest from the rear seat and turn it 180 degrees and insert in back in. Then put just right sized pillow on it and...

    How long did your battery last?

    The max water level should be when water touches both plastic tabs protruding from the filler opening down into the cell. When the water touches both tabs it will curve and form a lens.

    Hypermiling videos to better fuel consumption

    I see the point that puntmeister is trying to make about acceleration. While BSFC chart relates to an isolated engine (let's say engine on a testbed or dyno) or the engine in stationary application, it may not mean that other physical factors that affects whole car during acceleration do not...

    Hypermiling videos to better fuel consumption

    A sidenote: accelerating does not necesarilly mean "overcoming inertia at a faster and faster rate". Simplest physical definition of accelerating is constant. Although the speed of an object increases it is caused by constant rate of acceleration. When costant amount of torque is applied it...

    New Tires - Aspect Ratio?

    So, with the tires looking lot bigger and filling up the wheel well, is the car looking better or worse from the side? Sounds like the higher aspect ratio did not adversely affected cornering/handling, right? I would think there should be noticable difference in mpg at 36psi and 51psi. Ride...

    One more questions: How much do you pressurize your 205/65/16 Conti... PureContacts? They have max allowed pressure 51 psi, compared to 44 psi on OEMs, Michelins and most other tires in the category. Hypermiling experts say the tires should have 90% to 100% of its maximum allowed pressure. On...

    Can you use Vagcom on Chromebook running Ubuntu?

    I have VCDS running in Ubuntu under Wine quite well but for some reason program freezes after some time, like after swithing or openning/closing or minimizing/maximizing VCDS windows. But it could be a problem with my graphics. Cable interface works without problems as long as it's COM, not USB...

    New Tires - Aspect Ratio?

    Thre could be another potential advantage of oversized tires. As many people suggest to accelerate around 70-80% throttle to make best use of engine according to BCFS chart to maximize engine efficiency, I found that for me it's just too aggressive acceleration in most traffic conditions...
