    Oil extraction versus draining

    I searched this forum but could find no reference to this previously. While picking up oil and a filter at my local VW dealer, I declined a new drain plug and told them that I use a Pela oil extractor and that I did not need to undo the drain plug. The parts guy suggested that I should drain...

    Is a lighter force clutch available?

    Does anyone know if there is a lighter clutch aftermarket upgrade available for a 2005 Jetta TDI? I find the pedal pressure too hard after spending time in heavy traffic.

    Will Jetta V TDI be underpowered?

    Just read the other day that the new Jetta V will be 140kg heavier than the Jetta IV. Does anybody think that the car will feel underpowered with the current 100hp PD? We won't get the more powerful 16 valve engine until the low sulphur diesel arrives in 2006. Wonder if it is worth waiting until...

    Winter tires for the Jetta V

    Does anyone know what tire size the new Jetta V will have? Would it be the same as the Jetta IV (195/65R15)? I currently drive a Volvo S40 and I need winter tires now, but I want to use these tires on my new Jetta TDI that I am buying next summer.
