    Solar-Powered Trickle Charger

    Has anybody tried one of these? I saw a couple for sale at a local auto parts store. I would think that this would definitely be beneficial for those of us that live in cold climates and have relatively short commutes (<20 miles). It would be nice to know that your battery would sustain...

    Convincing/Interesting Statistics about Biodiesel

    Ok biodiesel geeks, I have a question for you. I am not entirely new to the concept of bio-D, and I have ran a few tanks of varying ratios (B20-B100). Basically, I am convinced that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. However, I am a high school chemsitry/physics/biology teacher and...

    Just Completed 20K mile Maintenance - Questions

    A question for those of you with 5-speeds

    Last night I was be-bopping around town (yes, some people do be-bop) and I noticed, not that I do it this often, that when I slightly depressed the clutch just until I met resistance the clutch pedal vibrated..a lot. This occured when the transmission was engaged or in neutral. Granted, one...

    Add-ons for A4 Golfs

    In the picture above, taken from the "pictures" section of the Forum, the rear of the car shows to add-on pieces to the hatch. First of all, there is the "wing" at the top which I've seen before. Does this help reduce road-grime collection? Will it impact fuel mileage? Where can it be...

    How can I find BioDiesel?

    I'm sure this has already been covered, but quite frankly I'm a little too lazy to look through a ton of old posts. Is there a common website that I could use to locate BioDiesel? I currently am living in Indiana (Corn-Soybean belt) yet I don't know of one place where I can get biodiesel...

I guess you could say I'm getting the last minute gitters about trading in 2...
