    States getting as much as owners

    So Minnesota is receiving $48 million out of the VW settlement to go towards "cleaning up diesels and promoting alternative fuels". The news said there are ~9,000 affected vehicles in MN, meaning the state is getting about as much per car out of the settlement as the owners are. I assume...

    Cracked DPF-Regens....Yes or No

I'm holding off on doing anything about it until we find out more about the dieselgate settlement, since the cost to repair is $2400. 2013 Jetta 6M, 108k I had the car in for diagnostics, and a forced regen was performed. I've driven about 400...

    Key difficult to turn

    This problem has been getting progressively worse to the point I'm worried I won't get the key in....or out, one of these days. It is a little difficult to insert, requiring a little finesse, but the real problem is getting it to turn the ignition cylinder. I need to jiggle the key and the...

    Mileage after engine break-in

    I've read several items stating the mileage gets much better after engine break-in. So I decided to break down my mileage results in 10,000 mile increments to see what difference, if any, there was. 0-10k: 42.33 mpg 10-20k: 47.06 mpg 20-30k: 47.12 mpg Now at this point, I was thinking "Oh hell...

    Nokian eNTYRE - special in MA

    I posted this in a thread about this tire in the MKIV category, but I think it warrants a little better exposure. I came across this while shopping around for tire prices, since mine are about shot. Looks like a pretty good deal for anyone who lives in the area, actually. I wished someone...

    Anyone notice this in the revelations of the 2015 Jetta? Dynamic radiator shutter. One new aerodynamic feature on the Jetta TDI 1.8T and 2.0 TDI Clean Diesel is a closeable shutter for the radiator grille. Closing the radiator shutter helps shorten the warm-up phase of the engine due to...

    Another graph, because who doesn't like a good graph. Diesel vs Gas

    Ok, since I've tracked nearly any stat you can think of since getting this car, I might as well share what it shows, now that I have a little ownership time into it. I record diesel prices, and RUG prices at each fill. Using this information and my tracked mileage, this graph directly shows...

    Brake Rotor scoring

    Ok, my car is 9 months old, with 25k miles on it. I drive predominately freeway in my daily commute, and somewhat conservatively most of the time and am very mild on the brakes and avoid braking when possible. I very very rarely have to get on them hard. I noticed yesterday at the car wash, my...

    In Dash Phone mount for MKVI

    Ok, so I finally got a new phone. I got the enormous Samsung Galaxy Note II, with the thought I could somehow mount this in my MK6 Jetta to use with the Torque Pro app, and utilize it as my navigation tool (premium, no nav model), as well as hold it somewhere nice for actual phone purposes...
