I am sorry posting to the wrong area. Please move my post to VW MKV-A5 Golf/Jettas Thanks, Bill

I have visited this topic but I have a little different slant on the subject. Remco offers a lube pump for a large number automatic transmissions. http://www.remcotowing.com/remco_lube_pump My understanding is that the problem with flat towing a vehicle equipped with a DSG transmission is...

Oilhammer, thanks again for your help. I too would like to know about the 6 speed. Bill

Oilhammer, thanks for your help. Your last sentence was the answer for which I was looking. I should have used the word "conventional" instead of "standard". How about the manual transmission. If the engine is not running, will it be lubricated properly? Thanks again, Bill

I need some help from some one familiar with the internals of both the DSG (not the standard automatic) and manual tramissions. When the car is in motion, what method is used to lubricate the transmission internals. 1. Are they lubricated by oil splash provided by the gears turning? 2. Are...

Does anyone have any information on when this DSG will be available in the US and in what vehicles? I will sign up now. Thanks, Bill

Why can we not get one? Bill

There is a Gray with tan interior Audi A3 TDI available at Tom Williams Audi in Birmingham, Alabama. Do not remember the price. Get in touch with Reed Wertz, phone 205-492-8905. Bill

I have been driving cars with leather since 1984. Leather is more comfortable and is cooler than vinyl. I much prefer cloth or leather over vinyl. One of our Jettas has vinyl seats and the other has leather seats. The leather seats are much more comfortable on long trips. I just do not...

My previous post was not intended to be mean spirited. Far from that. Some buyers want extra niceties in a car and some want basic functionality. Nothing wrong with either position. I am just a little disappointed that VW has not allowed me have such things as leather and sports seats in a...

I cannot find your $10,000 difference in cars with the same equipment. Yes you can spend $10,000 more than a base equipped Golf but there is a lot more car there. There are things on the A3 you cannot get on the golf. There are many but one very important one comes to mind, larger and better...

My wife and I did a test drive this afternoon in a new A3 TDI. Very nice car. It is very similar to the Jetta Sportwagon. As expected the finish is nicer than the Jetta. The feel and ride is a little different than the 2009 Jetta TDI we had driven earlier. I liked the car very much. Bill

Sorry you feel that way. We have 70,000 total on two '06 DSG's and are really enjoying the cars. Bill

Is the GTI TDI going to be available in the US? If so when? Thanks, Bill

Is there anyway we could influence VW in a positive way to import this car? Count me as in line to get one. Bill

I am not sure about your car but on both of my 2006 TDIs, the computer is not correct. Since I changed the tires on the white car both computers are about 10% optimistic. The white car's computer was about 15% off until I changed the front tires. Bill

'06 TDI, DSG, 28,000 miles. My last tank, 625 miles on 14.1 gallons. Hwy mostly but a little around town. Tried to stay below 70 mph on the hwy, 65 mph most of the time. Around town mostly the speed limits. Around town I accelerate and run at least as fast as traffic, no mileage tricks. Are...

You need to check your math. My next door neighbor has both a Suburban and a TDI. He is able to make the TDI car payment with his savings by replacing the Suburban with the TDI for every day driving. Bill

Found my problem. I left a connection loose. Thanks for everyone's help. Bill

Joe, My TDI is a 2006 A5. The brake light sswitch is not located inside the car on the brake pedal arm. Looks likeit is on the master cylinder under the hood. My symptoms are similar to the ones described in the article. Locked in Park and no power to the DFI. The relay that supplies to...
