    TDI: Good or bad assessment

    I'm on a 140 mile roundtrip...everyday. I bought mine around 5/11, and will be hitting 30k most likely this weekend (or early next week). My gf (who has same car but DSG, mine is manual) is right behind me, after only buying her car about a month after mine, she drives 180 miles round...

    2012 Jetta ( no windshild fluid indicator)

    Did previous VW models have this? In addition to that...I've had my car since beginning of 2011, and have yet to run out. And like pdt said - we use it in FL...A LOT. On a side note (since we're on the topic) - why are washer nozzles these days designed to spray every car around you except...

    2012 Jetta ( no windshild fluid indicator)

    I'm trying to think on my past cars...I don't specifically recall ever seeing a fluid indicator for the wipers.

    2011 TDI Tax Credit?

    The above IS correct. They withdrew the Tax Credit available to us for the purchase of TDI's because on the influx of purchasers...in other words - you bought a "hot" car that everyone is buying, and the gubamint don't feel they need to give you a tax break. I called the IRS about a month ago...

    d/s wiper cannot be lifted up

    OP's post seemed a reasonable Q to me. It didn't seem like he/she was asking for help to get it to service mode. I myself have found it odd that the wiper is designed that way. When I wash my car(s), I like to lift the wipers to get underneath them. I don't really want to have to get in the...

    First gear issue, Jetta 6 speed

    +1 Unless you're at, or close to, a near dead stop, 2nd is sufficient enough to get or keep you rolling. I use 1st to get me rolling, but unless it's to substitue light braking, I rarely use it.

    Clear Bra - Price and Application

    mysql- Thanks for the ref. Checking them out now. torri - Invisiblemask.com Which model Jetta did you choose? The options I see are S, SE and SEL (whereas a few other sites I've looked at have a TDI option).

    Clear Bra - Price and Application

    Yeah...the paint comes with a lifetime (I think) warranty. So if anything like this happened again, I could get it repainted no extra cost. Which brings me to something I hadn't thought of before, I'm suprised it's not covered in VW warranty.

    Clear Bra - Price and Application

    So, a couple months ago I had a mishap with something corrosive on my paint. I do not know what it was (suspect brake fluid from a car in front while driving), but it's left a nasty streak on the drivers side top-surfaces of my hood, roof and trunk (less effected as it travels to the trunk)...

    Anyone else have a problem with interior panels vibrating?

    Oh, the mental image...:D Scene (At dawn, a snowy day)- Driving down highway. See hazard lights from a car on the right shoulder. Getting closer. Closer. A man's shadowy figure appears. See man whacking...Savagely...at trunk with a metal-like object.

    Anyone else have a problem with interior panels vibrating?

    I hear the one in the dash cluster seldomly anymore. Sounded like styrofoam squeak...maybe that what is used directly behind the plastic? As far as the passenger side, I hear that often too. My first guess is that it's coming from the air vent (furthest on the right) or close to it. Though I...
