    2014 T3 eats its brakes! Or does it?

    Well, I've been warned! Below is what I'm greeted with as I turn on the ignition, start the car, and drive off. Background story. Got this puppy back in 2018 with 100366 km on it and fresh brakes. Been using it mostly as my weekend and tow vehicle for most of that time, but for the last 3...

    Let's talk Compounds on the 3L using the CP4.2

    Flame suit on. (I know the CP4 is junk, and everyone hates them) Yes, I want to know what kind of power the CP4.2 can support.... Yes, I want to talk about the compound option, because I have zero interest in a dyno queen or peak number.... I want area under the curve if anything. Talk to me!

    Buying back a "written off" vehicle from insurance....... anyone know how this can be done?

    I just had my '10 Jetta destroyed yesterday morning.... it will be written off for sure, but it's full of good parts and I've had it since new, so I'd like to potentially re-acquire it to at least pull the motor and other stuff out of it for a potential swap into a small pickup\jeep for wheeling...

    2010 CJAA, DPF, CP4 - Expectations, maintenance, reliability VS real world!

    For everyone stressing about all the design elements of these vehicles, I'd like to give you my opinion on it.

    Resource Upload Section - additional options required

    I just uploaded my first PDF resource to help someone and noticed that the required engine & model sections are very limited. In my instance, I was uploading a Touareg document, and I had to select a 2L CR engine as a "workaround". Could we possibly edit the options to add some more selections...

    Classic sticky RCV symptoms - Intermittent, slow to kick in A/C on hot days

    On my 2010 with 180k miles on the clock, I'm starting to experience "delayed" A/C performance on some hotter days......

    2014 TDI CNRB - overheating "allegedly"

    My '14 started running hot according to the cluster temp gauge on a 1.5 hr drive in hot ambient temps (90f), on cruise at 60mph. The guage read a consistent 220-230 for most of the trip. I tried running the cabin heat on full, turning the A/C off, slowing down, etc. Even sitting at a traffic...
