The city lights burn out a lot (every year and they are the only bulbs to be changed in the headlight module in 8 years). They are expensive and the only place I know locally...

    I don't know if someone posted this already, but I was using yahoo maps today and noticed that you can now find stations that carry diesel on it. It is sponsored by Jeep and you need to select the radio button on the bottom of the map that has the "Jeep diesel" icon. Might be useful when...

    Headlight cover earns its keep

    Well, I guess they are worth the extra $ because I'd be pissed if I had to replace the lamp housing instead of just the cover. I wasn't expecting this much damage to occur considering they are supposedly lexan.

    Optical bus anytime soon?

    I know Mercedes has started using an optical bus. Has anyone heard if VW is going to do this anytime soon? The Golf V would have been an ideal time to introduce it, but they probably missed the boat. Brian

    Power memory seats: K-line needed?

    I have a silly question. Is the k-line to the power memory seat controller really needed? The k-line is grounding out(I think) whenever I attach it to the seat controller. This bothers me because I can't access the engine ECU through VAG-COM. The k-line obviously isn't working, but the...
