    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Okay, I'd sort of believe that but having a few firends with 2010 and 2011's alread in the mitts of dealerships here in CT, they've reported back low 30's on a manual tranny after updated software upgrades, [last 4 days] and pant-feel hp way, way, way, down. If you want their names and cell...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    A "diesel" loyalist is NOT a Volkswagen "loyalist." A diesel "Loyalist" is a person who wants power, performance, euro putt-putt and 500 miles on a fuel tank. Volkswagen just killed the majority or their "developed" USA based consumers, those looking, for fuel efficiency, longevity and...

    Volkswagen's Clean Air Act violations on 2009+ TDIs spark huge recall, investigations

    Correct, we all followed the Pied Piper.... We laughed at the Lithium Battery [people] and the eco-tree-huggers too. Anyway, at risk of having my TDi pristine 38,000 mile 2011 Golf 2-dr, 6-speed manual in minty shape be purchased at a dime to the dollar, [in Connecticut] -I'm the last trade in...

    Hard Start / No Start - Is your intercooler frozen? Check Here!

    Drop in temperature, parked at "x" degree and humid weather [meaning wet, moist, high dew point] and then hitting the starter early morning when temps have dropped from 60°F to 40°F. Sizzle, sizzle starter sound, crank, stop, crank, hydro lock symptoms. pray, wait, pray and then start roughly...

    First cold snap with new JSW

    I've had similar readings with my idPart grill covers. I have hit mid 20ºF -6ºC mornings and have managed 41 mpg over 30 mile one-way commutes. Warmer and more sudden warm-ups and better performance. Love it.

    Where does a few bucks saved at the fuel tank buying diesel offset a bent rod or completely demolished fuel ignition system worth thousands? Ain't

    Hard Start / No Start - Is your intercooler frozen? Check Here!

    Yes. You'll notice that the interior engine noise is reduced, - muffled. You will have faster engine warm-ups. It will reduced the salts entering into the front grill cavities and plastering your engine. I like the design and it has form-fitted after a couple days use. Covering "every"...

    Hard Start / No Start - Is your intercooler frozen? Check Here!

    I'm extremely happy with my idParts front grill cover, actually. The vehicle warms up much quicker below 32°F/0°C mornings. I have been pulling 40 to 42 mpg avg with the commutes dealing with these temps -when prior to using the cover I was getting in the mid-30's mpg range. I've also noticed...

    Hard Start / No Start - Is your intercooler frozen? Check Here!

    My idParts cover came in the mail last week and it was put on last evening. Anyway, oddly, but nothing to do with the cover of course, I had the hard/no-start issue. The car had been sitting for 4 full days with huge swings in temps during that period. I've also read that this condensation...

    Hard Start / No Start - Is your intercooler frozen? Check Here!

    These MK6's are way too complicated for my tastes. I haven't driven this car in the winter months since purchase back in Dec 2010. Today, a 50F day, it stumbles upon start-up, dies, resets all the electrical [clocks, trip ect...]. Go back at it again and finally it rough idles and stays...

    Rear brakes rusting already!?

    LOL As a reference, Dec 2013 there were 13 days where the High for the day was below 32°F/0°C, -many days in the low teens [avg high for this momth has 1 day at 32°F/0°C, we had 13]. In Jan 2014 there were 19 days where the High for the day never reached near 32°F/0°C [teens and single...

    Sure! I could have given it a shot, but how could I explain this 4-5 months a year?
