    Lifted my golf wagon - help needed!!!

    So, as my thread below has stated I put ID parts 2 inch lift springs to replace my broken springs. Looks great, awesome height...too much height. There is a low power drive train wobble, that's annoying, and turns out is wearing the left drive axel prematurely. Mechanics think the new angle is...

    Stupid questions

    What does jsw stand for? I read what regen is, but how will I know when it's happening? If I get a kerma or unitronic tune will it void the emissions warranty? I've heard to never do a DSG service? That sounds like bad advice? I have a moon roof? Do they leak often? I'm hearing horror stories...

    Are you a fan of VW or the fuel?

    I'm just wondering how many would/are planning to switch to another manufacturer such as Mazda and their skyactiv D engine, or stick with vw. Are you loyal to the brand or the fuel? Personally I'm a fan of economy and will jump to anyone who can give me great miledge AND reliability.
