    It's been sitting on the shelf too long and has to go. $210.00 shipped to the lower 48. I've decided to do a six speed conversion. The pictures are in my photo gallery. Will take cash or paypal.

    2 Jetta’s 5 year update

    Our two 06’s have 45k & 52k miles. They have never been back to dealer since we drove them off the lot. You read all about the failures, but we’ve had zero problems. For people considering a new purchase, the MPG will increase quite a bit. We started out in the mid 40’s hyway, but that has...

    Finally hit 50MPG

    Calculated/No MFD Each fill-up was to the brim. It only takes about a minute extra to completely fill to the top. Couldn't put another ounce in. Brian

    2005.5 jetta best chip?

    Sometimes Food for thought. Jeff tried to program mine through the port and it didn't take. He had to take out the ECU to reprogram. At that time the flash counter showed one. The wife's car was second & he just pulled the ECU & did it in the basement. Hers counter was zero after Jeff...

    How cold is too cold for a TDI?

    Besides being heavily built, it's compression ignition, turbocharged, after-cooled, & electronically controlled. I don't see much difference unless your referring to the PD style injection. It would appear the anti-idle laws are geared more for reducing pollution. EPA states "A truck idling...

    How cold is too cold for a TDI?

    It was -5F yesterday morning & both our 06's started right up. They sound like my son-n-law's powerstroke for the first minute! Even at those temperatures, the cabin will be warm in 15 min. of idling. The supplemental electric heat works pretty good.

    Upgrading to the new diesel engine

    Yes We plan on upgrading the wifes car to get the DSG. The power should be about the same as we have now, and she won't have to downshift to use it. Getting older changes ones perspective more than you think.

    15" steel wheels

    Tire Rack Thanks for the replies. I just purchased close out aluminum wheels ($79) & the dunlop m3's for the wifes car. Total w/shipping came to $688. I'll get by with the stock tires on mine. I can always drive the gas guzzler jeep (10mpg).

    15" steel wheels

    Was looking at the 15" steel wheel/snow tire package at tirerack. The tire diameter is the same as the stock tires, but will the wheel fit? I'm concerned about clearance of the brake calipers. Anyone using these wheels? Thanks, Brian

    Symptoms of limp mode?

    Passing uphill today over 80mph in 5 gear and the power decreased noticeably. It was a very strange sensation, pushing the go pedal down further did nothing. It would not go over 3000 rpm, and there was no check engine light. After I shut it off and restarted, all is well. I'm been running...
