    2003 TDI Beetle, starts but will not rev

    Hi all. I'm having a problem with my 2003 Beetle. I suspect it's bad or gelled fuel because it started happening a week ago after filling up and it got cold. What happens is it will start and run rough for a few seconds and then it will idle normally. There's a little bit of white smoke...

    Oil change ever 5000 or 10,000?

    I've just reached a trouble-free 15,000 miles on my NB TDI. Do I need to change my oil at 15000 or wait till 20? If it's just an oil change, I'll get the Pela and the oil and do it myself. How often do I check the air/fuel filter? Thanks!

    Travel Trailer Towing concerns!

    Beetles and Golf have 4 wheel disc brakes so it will stop the car and the trailer really easy. My final question for towing is do you tow in overdrive(5th) or in 4th gear? I hear alot of people saying "never tow in overdrive" but that might be for automatics.

    Valvoline 5w40 Synth... good?

    OK thanks. I'll have to change my oil after my next coaster trip. So will I have to buy 2 gallons? Use one and take a pint out of the other one to make 4.5 quarts? Or is a gallon enough. This is my first oil change and I want to do it right. Thanks again.
