    Castrol edge

    was needing a oil change and looked all over town and couldn't find a 507 oil just 505. I get more confused when I read threads about oil. Will this Castrol edge euro car 5-30 work for my 2013 jetta tdi?

I have had several tdis a 1999 jeta tdi 2001 tdi a 2005 passat tdi and a 2012 passat tdi. I kind of miss having a tdi.

    Fuel door sticky can't open

    Can't get the fuel door to open! Wife has had trouble getting it shut so I shut it for her now it is stuck inward and will not pop open. I didn't like the idea of the way it worked when we first bought it and thought it was going to be trouble.

    splitting hairs- state your minor dislikes about the passat.

    Like about everything except worried about owning it past the 60,000 warranty. Had the turbo go out at 9,000 miles and would not want to pay for one after warranty expires.

    Interrupting a Regeneration

    If you interrupt the regeneration on new passat tdi the next time you start it will it start the regeneration again? If it did short trips could be a real disaster for these engines
