Well, I had no choice but to settle. The insurance company wouldn't budge from their original figure of $20,084.00. So I am still into VW for $2800.00. It just so happens that the amount I still owe VW is the amount they deducted from my settlement because the car had "high mileage". So...

I drive my NB 1-1/2 hours to work every day on the highway, i cant say that ive noticed the smell but that may just be me.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Just tell her that basic math is all that's needed to get pm time from military time. 2300(23-12) = 11:00pm 2200(22-12) = 10:00pm etc.... That should get you a big smack accross the head from your wife for being a smart ass Hell, it...

Well, it doesn't look good right now. The insurance company is trying to lowball me, meaning I will still owe VW almost $3000.00 once they pay up (if I accept, which I won't). Again, I get screwed by insurance companies Their excuse is that the high KM on the vehicle is lowering the...

I can't say anything about the details of the accident at this point but will fill you all in as soon as I can.

I was unable to pull the stereo. Hopefully I will be able to get another Jetta TDI.

Yep, I am now TDIless, and my poor TDI is in the wrecking yard after a serious rollover accident. R.I.P. my beautiful TDI P.S. Here are some pics. [ September 12, 2002, 09:33: Message edited by: tdi_veedub ]

It was relay 109 on my car.

hmm...my commute is 1 hour, with an 8-15 hour interval in between ... I got ~122,000KM and still going strong.

hehehe, well, MY money is prettier than yours Anyways, I change my oil every 10,000KM, so it works out to something like 6200 miles, so cost effective is good. If there is one thing I learned, in all the cars I ever owned, changing oil frequently is good. Thanks for the input, I will now...

Heavyoil, you can go to the Java site and download Java and install it on XP. It is the REAL THING, and you will notice that you Java apps will run better then any "virtual machine" Microsoft will put out. MS Virtual Machine is NOT NEEDED on Windows!!!. Get the real thing people!!!

Re: VW Derf\'s 2003 Jetta TDI Wagon Congrats Fred! On your way back to Richmond stop by Barrie for a few minutes (maybe a beer perhaps?) so I can take a look at your ride (haven't physically seen a Jetta wagon yet)

it means a pd motor that pushes 150hp stock....

Has anybody ever used it? Any opinions on it? The Husky on my way to work sells it for 25$/gal(yes that's gallon, or 3.78L). I was thinking of using it since it is reasonably priced and Delvac can be a PITA to find most times.

yeah, nothing like mommy & daddy buying a new car their kid to go and smash up and hurt somebody. I wish my parents bought me a car.... Actually, I dont. Because of them I am more carefull and respectful of other people' property, as well as my own, since I know how much it costs. I don't...

Yes, that is Canadian Funds:)

1 minute is plenty.

Yeah, so he went to the dealer(Autohaus Barrie) to see what they are offering: DEMO 2002 Jetta GLS TDI w/ 7000 KM Fully loaded except for leather. It's Blue Lagoon too selling for 26000+150 admin+3922.50 taxes for a grand total of $30072.50. (CAN Funds) So, is it worth it? Or could he...

Unfortunatley I live in the north as well. But for a mere $120 per year, I have kept the rust off of every car I have owned, with the exception of my Cavalier, wich wasn't worth the rust proofing anyways. My baby goes into Krown next weeked, to get "Krowned"

Even if one or a few of them do happen to burn out, some basic electronics skills will fix it.

Just forget about the Monsoon and get a good aftermarket Blaupunkt, Clarion, or Kenwood HU... It will sound much better, you will get more options (like MP3, XM Radio), and you will pay far less.

I taught my sister how to drive stick. She didn't stall the car once! I was amazed at how easily she picked it up. The reason I taught her how to drive stick? I would get home from work after her, and as such park behind her, so every morning I would have to move my car so she could get...

A/C does not only cool the air. It also takes out the moisture (humidity), conditioning the air. A good trick when it's raining and you can't have the windows down is run the A/C. This keeps the air inside the car nice and cool and dry, keeping the windows from fogging up. A/C is great. I...
