I love the Michelins too. Too bad they're so expensive.

Something's not right. Sender? Thermostat? Bring it back.

Look on vwvortex. The motion sensor thing has been done.

mickey, Can yours capture the freeze frame data when a dtc is thrown? Is the stuff cleared when vag-com clears the codes? It is my belief that there might be a parallel universe of codes, not accessible to vag-com, but accessible to 1551, etc.

I still have those rear mintex red box pads for $30.....

Re: Rear speakers don\'t work I believe that the vag-com might be used to talk to the convenience module to narrow the problem down. Maybe.

deeyup, I'm with you all the way on chip vs box. Much smoother.

Brodie, I don't even have vag-com yet because the laptop I have access to only has Windows 3.1 on it. We're supposed to get some laptops for work, and I am loath to spend money on one if I don't have to. Anyway, I use Vwtool. There's one group (in vwtool anyway) that has 10 or so different...

Apparently they put some softer pads in the rear for a while in a misguided attempt to reduce brake squeal.

Re: VAG\'S GEARBOXES...NEWS What failed on BG's when it suffered a compound fracture of the transmission and bled fluid all over the drag strip?

How come I know what it means. I ain't no VW professional technician. ECT is the Engine Coolant Temperature sensor. Perhaps there is a loose wire. Remove wires, clean contacts, etc. If the sensor is bad, it is not difficult to change and is quite inexpensive (<$20). It might be hard to...

As low as possible without lugging for best economy. Sincerely, Velvet Foot

It probably would have been good to know if it was over or under pressure, but I agree, N75 is cheap enough to replace. I would definately check all those hoses I mentioned. There have been reports of hoses cracking at the ecu and, I believe, at the turbo. Maybe think about, anyway, replacing...

Re: VAG\'S GEARBOXES...NEWS Is this related to that stupid dual mass flywheel design?

No, Rene, I am thinking the opposite of that. No power to n75 means no vacuum to vane actuator means they are open. I don't know if I want to pull of the vacuum hose though, from my last experience with breaking things. Maybe the thread by the guy that was making the vnt turbo into a gas...

Thanks for the explanation. I had always thought that more vacuum on the vnt meant more closed, but now I'm not so sure. I thought that disconnecting the electrical leads to n75 on a VNT meant that there'd be no boost to speak of. Maybe I'll check it out tonight.

Neither do the YellowLed Cult. (it's the best i could come up with)

I wish they had an indash player (oem) for the NB. How well do those things work that you plug into your cassette deck (with a cassette thingy)?
