    The <$100 Lower IC pipe (pancake pipe) upgrade

    Ok, I have a 1.8T pancake pipe I would like to install on my 2002 Jetta and I am not understanding how just a hump hose and clamps is all that is needed. Could someone help me out with a link to the necessary parts. Thank you, Steven

    Mobil 1 TDT deal at Autozone

    I just bought 4 gallons from my local autozone and there was plenty left on the shelf. The jugs initially scan at 29.99 but when the clerk totaled the purchase it came out at 12.99. You just need to go to the total screen and it would have been there for you too.

    "Interesting" article on Jalopnik. Jetta TDI

    I drive a manual specifically for the fuel economy and reliability. I have 280,000+ miles on the original clutch with no issues and have only changed the oil in the transmission. I seriously doubt a DSG would come close in cost of ownership to the manual. Steven

    Thinking bout buying an 04 jetta...from Nevada...bringing into CA

    I've registered cars from AZ and FL that I have purchased and all you have to do is pass the SMOG and then register it. Of course to pass SMOG assumes all of the emissions equipment is connected. Steven

    I had the opposite of you 4 years ago, totaled Beetle bought 02 Jetta to replace the Beetle. I have used many parts from the Beetle on my Jetta. I actually like how the hoses were run on the Beetle and used the parts to run the same in my Jetta.

    U.S. fuel economy posts biggest gain since 1975

    I have 2 Jetta TDIs and a 6.5L Suburban. Unless we need to haul all 6 members of the family, the suburban sits. I also use the suburban to tow trailers for my mom on her farm when she needs the help. The suburban comfortably tows everything I need to tow and gets 20 - 21 mpg when the family...

    Vent blows hot air now

    Hello, I drive an 02 Jetta and was driving home today on the freeway at 70 mph and just running the fan with fresh air and no heat, when I went over a bad pavement transition in the roadway that jolted the car. As soon as I went over the bump the fan speed changed a little and the air coming...

    Installed Whitbread Semi-DIY turbo kit - Impressions and details for dummies

    Matt, Those twins are keeping you busy I see. I'm at 270,000 miles on the ODO, and when we changed belts I was at 200,000 miles, so in about 9 months. It would be nice if I could also afford one of the whitbread turbos to install at the same time. When it gets closer to 300,000 miles I will...

    Good job Matt, glad to see you finally got it installed. This was a 2056? It will be interesting to see how it performs once you get it all sorted out. Are you ready to join me in changing timing belts again? Steven

    California 2 year diesel smog check

    Having gone through 3 California "smog" tests for a diesel vehicle, I can say it is mostly a visual inspection. The only thing that is checked with an electronic device is for DTCs. They pop the throttle looking for snap idle opacity, look the engine over for mods that have removed EGRs or any...
