    2006 Package 2 Jetta, Hardinsburg, KY

    I bought this car new in Ft. Worth at Autobahn. It was my commute car, 105 miles one way. Did the break in as instructed here and it never used a drop of oil between changes. Maintained as per the book and techniques I gained here. A few years ago, I gave it to my youngest son/bride as they...

    At risk of getting pooped ... I'd find a good offline mechanic who is familiar with the TDI ... and loose the DPF if you're not in an emission's county. There is NOTHING wrong with these cars, just that some entity didn't want little diesels in the US market and bought the EPA. checkout the...

    Longest commute.

    210 mile commute. trips/week vary but usually no more than 3x/week. This has been the perfect car for that job. 14 years on the car ... 18 on the commute.

    No boost till 2000rpm! Please help

    My Kerma Tune does that a little bit. Needs 2K to start performing. I avoid "cruising" <1800 RPM. I'm unfamiliar with a p130 or n75. Sorry. Good luck.

    2006 Headliner Replacement?

    I had a local shop replace mine. $200. Looks better than the factory. He also tinted my windows. Also GREAT JOB. "Mr Tint" in Stephenville Texas with all the air bags everywhere, I wasn't even going to consider attempting it ... especially not for $200. I'll snag a photo and add to my...

    209K miles ... original. Kerma TDI performance tune. EGR delete. Colt II cam. Driving home from a trip yesterday, had a hot dog in a Chevy Duramax wanna play (term of endearment, I'm a big diesel truck guy, too) Full disclosure, BIG NW wind in the face yesterday ... to climb a 6-7% grade...

    wow ... I'm at 206K ... (original owner) original front pads and have replaced the rear ones once. y'all do know you don't mash on the pedals simultaneously, right? :P (100 mile one-way trip to work ... 2 traffic lights in that 100 miles ... and managing energy of a moving machine is...

    EGR Delete

    I have an '06 per my sig ... I had Steve Glover install a delete on my EGR with the cam replace, et al ... and Kerma tune. that was at 158K miles. Now has just over 206K. Couldn't be happier. I suppose the mileage deal might be a factor if your typical operation is crank, run 5 minutes...

    This is my buyback story

    Bought our '12 Jetta TDI in Sept '12 ... turned in today at Autobahn in Ft. Worth. When the money is in the bank ... I'll be happy with the deal. Should have had the appointment to turn-in 3 months ago ... but hey ... it's done now. Agent made note of the 70 miles difference in the...

    Best Oil Yet? Renewable Lubricants: BioSyn 5w-40

    James ... Terry Dyson recommended this brand for my 6.7 F350. I've considered switching to it for my TDI from the Amsoil. I'll be taking a sample and sending to Dyson Analysis in the next month/so. The Ford 6.7 is susceptible to fuel dilution, so I'll be interested to see how that goes in...

    Made my turn in appointment today

    Thanks Dan. I know ... spit in one and wish in the other ... but I wish Trump would put the EPA back in its place. This was an absurd deal. Gonna miss that little car ... and blast 'em for devaluing my 06!

    Worth reading

    Hmm ... on a <$4000 blue book value car? That's what chaps me about this diesel gate nonsense ... the "non affected" cars ... affected. Don't his a possum! Been there, done that. $3800 repair. Insurance covered it, minus deductible, of course ... but that's when it was valued at >$20K. This...
