    Looks like your Golf is disabled. Are you local? Do you need help?

    01M with P0748 - need a TDI mechanic or will any AT shop do?

    I don't think it's fear. Not talking $h!t is generally a sign of good manners, and most people here already know to STAY AWAY FROM DEALERS, so it's not like a disservice is being done by being vague. All dealers are suboptimal, avoid if possible.

    Haha, no, it's ok :D To update: I heard from Mike promptly after his return from vacation. My Golf rode a rollback all the way to Montague yesterday afternoon. Just waiting to see what the good word is...

    2003 Golf GLS 5 speed - original owner - NW Washington

    Interesting! I thought I had a ventectomy because the little knob to vent the air is missing, but, even when filling to overflowing (fyi trickle fill will not cause the pump to autostop), the most I have ever stuffed in there was 14.024gal.

    01M with P0748 - need a TDI mechanic or will any AT shop do?

    WOW ... I probably would have cut my losses and left the title with them at that point. There, now it's their problem. But you still have it! With this description, you have confirmed my suspicions about which dealer it was :D Well, thank heaven for small favors. If I am right about which...

    01M with P0748 - need a TDI mechanic or will any AT shop do?

    I have to admit - I'd be a little upset if mine gave up the ghost after only 68000mi. This also makes me realize how incredibly lucky I must be. Also, mine must have been remanufactured at some point, because it was dealer serviced for 7/8ths of its life. If the maintenance schedule doesn't...

    Interesting, I didn't know releasing the air freed up that much space! Thank you for the info.

    Don't sell yourself short. If this car used every drop of fuel in the 14.5gal tank to drive 750mi, it would be 51.72mpg.

    Cetane ratings question

    I only filled up there once, and haven't been back to Delmarva in almost a year. I guess this would be a good heads up for anyone else in the region. Besides, why go to the Shell when 50 cetane is 1/2mi down the street?

    Cetane ratings question

    That's almost a shame! This time last year it was a full 10-20 cents cheaper than the Shell down the street. That was actually how I found it - I was going north and turned left to go into the Shell but missed their turn. I went further down the street to bust a u and there was SS.

    If I may make a suggestion for your CL ad - include the term TDI somewhere in the ad. I've been searching CL around the country over the last 24 hours, but I use the term TDI, never diesel or VW, so I haven't seen your ad. You may have better luck with your ad this way. Also, beautiful car!
