Tune and tires

I got a Revo tune yesterday as they currently have a sale going on and now do port tunes. I took a drive through the mountains today. Now this vw has woof!

GVWR and load index, TireRack Road Hazard Protection in process Jeremy43 Thanks for the concern. I used the load index chart and compared it with the GVWR of my 13 JSW MT which is 4,388lbs http://media.vw.com/doc/908/1953807316536a81198b65a.pdf. The 90 load index tires are rated at...

new shoes Michelin MXM4 Primacy 90H $750 including tax from Tire Rack and a $50 mount and balance from Firestone. Noticeably quieter and the rubber protrudes to help prevent curb rash. The stock Conti's had 29k with a little more life left in them. One tire got a goose egg on the sidewall...

PITA and the Payback Oh yeah, perceptions do have a bit to do about it. The PITA and the payback. I watched the ecs video about the install and bought some grease from Autozone and was gonna slip this ***** in, an easy install. I'd recommend dishsoap. I don't have a floor jack, so I lifted...

Dogbone insert, I approve this message Yeah, I think the dogbone is so worth it. The install was a major PITA. In hindsight, I would do it differently. The first miles after the install it was almost unbearable. I was so pissed, especially after fighting with it under my car for a while...

So I just passed 10,000 miles. So far, took a 1,000 mile tour through Colorado from Denver to Crested Butte and around to Aspen and back at high speed. I've replaced a fender and the rear valance, installed a dogbone insert, and have broken the rear vents in the center console. I'd like to...

Well it took less than a month for my daughter to break the vent controls in the center console. Anyone had to pull take it apart yet? It's different from the mkv because it has the 110v plug in. It's got a slot at the top that was flexing with a flathead. Didn't pop off and I didn't want to...

A5 force it harder? I have a A5 and regularly fill up at Country Mark with their b5 cetane 51 diesel. It takes me around fifteen minutes to fill up. The bigger nozzle doesn't fit and I can barely let the fuel come out or it foams up. I think I'm getting faster at it. What I do is a two hand...

Will be going to Paramedick. Glad I posted. I'll give a follow up after it's all done. Never been to Lexington. Two birds with one stone. Thanks for all the interest on taking care of my TDI. Now TDI'ers in the area will know their options.

clarification I apologize. I should have known better than to leave out all of the details. I read enough of these forums and realize there are many waiting to jump at the chance to scold the person would be giving less than the TLC these cars deserve. It will receive a complete TB kit...

TB change in KY? No, with it needing to get done on a saturday and spending the night in a hotel I wanted to incorporate some type of activity. Versailes KY don't know any interesting activities over there. Like a said, driving three hours, bringing the family, including a 10 month old baby...

I thought some of you would be interested in how much a TB change costs in my area for an 06 jetta PD. Belt, tensioners, water pump Evansville Performance Imports $1100, Dpatrick (dealership) $1200. Indianapolis Jeff's VW is at $850 m-f, Autoban $950 m-f Nashville German Performance $860 m-f...

thanks Thanks, that did it. So the light is a reminder for an oil change? 10,000 or 8,000 miles? I guess I'll find out in a couple of months.

I have an 06 jetta that i bought a month ago. I didn't get and owners manual with it. Anyhow It had a yellow wrench light when i first turn the key. right under the time. the odometer goes away and its in line with the mileage word. it used to have a number under it. I think it was an oil...

okay Indiana people.. Is anyone buying diesel from Country Mark. B5 at a good price. http://countrymark.com/ there's quite a few locations in Indiana. I've only had my 06 for six fill ups. I've been been filling from BP with power service diesel kleen additive from walmart but I did a...

Same question I have an 06 and a good friend has an 04. We both need our timing belts and were going to split the cost of the tools and change them. I have been looking through the forums daily and would like some clarification.... Is there a difference between the A4 tb change and the A5...

North of Evansville I read your other threads in the eville forum... who's a good mechanic in eville? I need the tb replaced... I spoke with an old dude driving a 2000 tdi beetle and he said he went to a shop in front of Lowes. Any ideas who it is? I just bought an 06 jetta tdi this week...

Thanks for the advice mctdi and sip'n diesel. Matt contacted me from chicago. He's a full time mechanic, now I know. I ended up picking up a 2006 tdi black on black with 99,000 miles from cinci area. I decided against the auction car because of the advice and a dealer salesman said to be...
