    DFW TDI Owner's List

    NOTE: This list is no longer being maintained. Just FYI, I sold my beloved TDI back in Aug of 2017, so this list is no longer being maintained, and hasn't been for at least the past year. My apologies to the DFW TDI crowd. My last odometer picture on the day I handed it over to Brian....

    standard guys... do you leave it in 1st when parked? or neutral + ebrake?

    I guess I'm the odd man out here because I always leave it in neutral and use the handbrake, and then only enough to keep it from rolling. Of course, its parked in the garage 90% of the time and even when I'm out, we have very few hills in the DFW area of Texas. I also do it because I've...

    TDI Decarbonization With Water Mist ?? Is that dumb?

    Whenever I steal a car, I drive it slowly to blend in with other traffic so I won't stand out and get caught. Is this what you mean? :D

    Has this ever happen to you?

    When it happened to her, it was back around 2001-2004 or so. Really before anyone knew that VW even made diesels. I used to add a quart of canola oil to the fuel tank at each fillup back then to help with lubricity too. You should have seen people's reactions when they saw her dumping half...

    Added. Thanks, and welcome to the club. If you look at the first names in the list on the first page, the members in bold type are considered the DFW "gurus" and can take care of you. Being in Little Elm, I would recommend Brian (Alphaseinor) but I heard that he's had a fire in his shop and...

    Has this ever happen to you?

    This kind of thing used to happen to my ex-girlfriend all the time when she drove my car. Great new Audi Diesel commercial. My apologies if it's been posted elsewhere. http://youtu.be/amBTr9kcJes

    New TDI

    VWs are very picky about all fluids, not just oil. That also goes for coolant, power steering fluid, etc. If you use only what's recommended, do your maintenance by the book (not more or less often), and listen to the folks on here, your car will last forever.

    Tesla Model S Battery Swap Demonstration

    The battery swap isn't meant to be a regular thing. 95% of the time you'll charge it at home. Even if you're on the road, the Supercharger is the logical option. It charges at the rate of around 200 miles in a half-hour, and it's free. The swapping option is to silence the naysayers who...
