    So long and thanks for all the fish...

    It is with some sadness that I say good bye. I have really enjoyed this forum and it has been extremely helpful! I loved my three VW group diesels starting with my 2004 Passat wagon. I loved the low end torque and the fuel economy. I went to a get together and had it chipped! I loved the...

    Where can I get an extra ECM that will work with a 2013 A3 TDI

    I want to get my '13 A3 Premium Plus chipped. I talked to the dealer and they told me that whenever the car goes in for service it gets scanned and the Malone tune shows up. Audi USA doesn't like that and voids the engine warranty. The dealer recommended that I get a spare ECM/ECU, have...

    Have any of you A3 owners had your car chipped?

    If so, who did it, what was the HP and torque increase and were/are you happy with it? I'm thinking I may go with Malone, they have a dealer near here.

    I had a loner EOS-if it came in diesel, I'd buy one!!!

    The EOS was a blast, I'd forgotten how much fun open air driving is. Its fuel economy was pretty bad, only 27 in mixed driving. VW, Please sell a diesel EOS in the US!!!!!!!

    I need new tires and I'm so confused....

    Did the search and came up with about 35 different answers. I had Michelins on my Passat TDI wagon and they lasted for a long time...looking at the Michelin Primacy ratings they don't seem so great. My OEM tires on my 2009 Jetta TDI are going to need to be replaced soon (at 40,000 miles). I'd...

    Thinking about getting a Bluetooth for my '09, Volk-L or something else?

    I'd like to get bluetooth for my 09 TDI. Now that the Volk-l has been out for a while is this a good option or is there something better at a reasonable price point? I'd like it to work with the steering wheel and to cost about $300. The Skoda unit seems cool, but a bit pricey...

    Can you do a ventectomy on an 09 Jetta?

    If it's been discussed, I couldn't find it. I just filled up for the first time and my filler neck looks a lot different than the one on my '04 Passat TDI. If there's a vent, I couldn't find it. (When you get old, you have trouble finding things!)
