    Not all Liqui Moly are equal... sigh

    sadly, definitely "turning it in" when time comes but still couldn't bring myself to cheap out on the oil as the parts place guys suggested (just using what I have). Found some Top Tech 4200 locally for a billion dollars and $.50 ... just couldn't bring myself to cheat on her with some bad oil...

    Not all Liqui Moly are equal... sigh

    Found a deal on: "Liqui Moly 2039 Longtime High Tech 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - 5 Liter Jug" I missed it when I bought it but it only says: "VW 502 00 / 505 00 / 505 01" no 507 00 listed anywhere on the jug SOOOO, just to confirm (before I throw away $70+ in oil) there is no way I should...

    Need help with timing and Dieselgate

    I'd like to purchase a 2017 Wolfsburg Tiguan before winter to replace my not so winter-nimble 2012 Golf TDI Tech package. Technically, what is the latest word on the buy-back? I'm not making a move to buy anything until I know for sure what VW plans to do. Think it'll be before winter? Thanks!

    P047f code - think it's cleared?

    Thanks for the response. I'll definitely call the dealer this week. Can you send me a link or the instructions on how to operate the valve using the VCDS? I do have the Ross tech I've been using to prime my fuel filter for the past 100k worth of fuel filter changes.

    P047f code - think it's cleared?

    So for the first time in 107,000 miles my 2012 TDI tech package Golf threw a CEL. I have a bluetooth ODB scanner for pulling codes and the code recovered was a P047f Exhaust Pressure Control Valve "A" Stuck Open I found many threads about this most recommending both maintenance and...

    no, no, I have the torx wrenches now - I just want to replace the roughed up OEM torx screws at next fuel filter change. Guess I'll call the stealership tomorrow too..

    Torx part number?

    I didn't have the right Torx wrenches when I pulled my fuel filter out last time so I roughed up the 5 or 6 Torx screws holding the fuel filter top down on my 2012 TDI. I looked on idparts (where I've been getting nearly all my maintenance stuff from) and can't find them on there. Does anyone...

    Oil additives necessary?

    Bought my 2012 4dr golf TDI tech package feb of 2012. Just rolled over 50k miles and just did my second oil change myself. I have some observations/questions. I drain my oil using the oil pan drain plug on bottom (I removed the filter cap first which is actually a really nice trick) but after...

    40k maintenance experience

    - I didn't have a turkey baster but next time I'm at the store I'm getting one. - I DID rotate the tires and easily reset the service interval (just using the MDF) - I noticed on myturbodiesel they mentioned the order which you open the drain plug/filter cap makes a difference. I will open cap...

    40k maintenance experience

    So, as with most I had my last "free" 30k maintenance and hit 40k this week. I went on idpart.com and purchased oil, oil filter, fuel filter, cabin filter, engine intake filter and VCDS. Notes from my experience: This guide was GREAT...

    Another Oil thread

    My thought is if the HPFP goes at least I can say "yeah, but you morons changed my fuel filter, not me" I've watched the process of changing the fuel filter- I totally agree- looks really easy to do. But if it absolutely needs primed to avoid engine/pump failures I'm not taking the chance...

    Another Oil thread

    Manual says air filters due. Maybe the Castro gold isn't the cream of the crop of oil but I'm sure for 10k it'll be fine until I have more time to sort this out

    Xenon Match Fog Light Bulb

    It recommends a wiring harness but I don't see how this wiring mitigates the problem- you're still pulling that wattage through original wires at some point right? http://www.amazon.com/Circuit-Performance-Heavy-Wiring-Harness/dp/B0034K2IE4/ref=pd_sbs_auto_2

    Xenon Match Fog Light Bulb

    What happens if I try and put these in? 80w! Would it fry my wires? http://www.amazon.com/MTEC-4X-Super-White-Wattage/dp/B004N38LMO/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1358736398&sr=1-5&keywords=Mtec+9006
