It seems that MANY of us who own 2015s are experiencing clock springs failures at about 2.5-3 years of service. My son's failed earlier this week. No warranty. This is no different from the clock spring failures of the 2012, 2013, & 2014 model years with the exception that VW is not...

Yesterday, whilst visiting JETTAH for the 100K TB transplant on Mrs. V's Jettawagen I, ignorantly, slammed the drivers door on his VAGCOM cable... :eek: What the hell was I thinking? Don't ask cause I don't know... Fortunately for me, Marty was too cool and Uwe must use MIL-SPEC cable which can...

Yesterday at our local Meijer's here in Plainwell, I found that their new payment procedure is to pre-pay 24/7 at the diesel pumps. Of course, these pumps are the furthest from the cash register. If one wants to top-off, this involves 2 round trips. Meijer says that drive-off have been a...

I can't remember if anybody in Grand Rapids has VAGCOM...An old HS pal is in the middle of a TB change on his '98 Jetta and will need some help resetting his timing. I just found out that he started the job not knowing all that is required to be swapped-out. If there is an available VAGCOM in...

The BP truckstop at Exit 44 of US-131 is pumping ULSD. I spoke with one of the owners of that station last week. He said that what's coming out of his pumps right now would not past muster for ULSD due to residual LSD. They have been topping-off with ULSD since mid-July so as to eventually flush...

Don\'t you just hate it when... ...you snap off an IP sprocket bolt while attempting to get that timing value just right after you've lost count of your attempts? Mind you, it's not a stretch bolt, but one of the newer ones. I torqued that sucker one too many times when it let go. I'm...

Has anybody done a B&W Jetta? My Dad had a B&W Plymouth bought new when I was a kid. As I recall, not too many passed us on the freeway. Below is my quickie rendition of what it might look like... Rad or rank?

As of this morning, Ridderman & Sons Oil, those good folk who brought in the B100 tanker to the 2004 TDI-Club HondoFest, have opened a B20 pump at their BP truck stop. Steve Ridderman said last night that the plan is to operate this pump thru 'til fall to see how well it sells... Their B20...

Last night's teaser for tonight's (2/8) CBS Evening News showed 2 items of interest. First, a report about unintentional airbag deployments...showing the rear of an A4 Golf in the footage. Last, a Biodiesel story featuring Willie Nelson. That is all...

FWIW: Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to, AT LAST, see Mobil Truck & SUV 5w40 at my local Wally-World here in Scenic Allegan County. The going rate is $4.77 a quart. The guy stocking the shelf in the Oil Dept. said that they will continue to stock this oil until further notice. Go get...

A problem from a new member… 2001 Jetta 5-speed. Bought used just after 60K. Dealer service department suggests TB change so… After TB change…she’s not running like she used to. Engine stumbles/hesitates between 2200RPM and 3000RPM and pulls poorly…the snap our new member was used to is...
