    2004 EPA standards..

    The US CAN'T creat a regulation that would make a current vehicle "useless". Your car COULD be tested to the emission standards under which your car was asked to meet at the time it was manufactured.

    Oil filter change on new TDI

    I believe that the general consensus is that you can go 10,000 miles between filter/oil changes but if you go further w/the oil then a change of filter at 7500 or 10k is warranted, especially if you are attempting to go 15K-20k with your oil. All this presupposes the use of an excellent diesel...

    An Idea

    Here's a question/idea for the mechanically gifted, i.e. Valois. How about a quasi-epsolian device. For me (and others if they exist) who don't want to disconnect our EGR devices. How about a small led light, placed in one of the dummy switch panels on the dash that would light everytime...

    I changed out my Delvac and used my first fill of CAT oil. I have a single gallon of Delvac that I use for topping off and I noticed that Delvac-1 has a different smell than the CAT oil. Does anyone know what is the real differences between Delvac-1 and CAT oil??

    Malfunction Indicator light

    The only way to tell is to connect it to a Vag-Com. Maybe someone in your area has a vagcom to read the fault? The dealer will charge you $70.

    Using .158 injectors in an A4 5 speed

    Anyone have any thoughts on how downsizing the fuel injectors would effect fuel economy. Obviously the car would take some form of speed performance hit, but if you could get the injectors cheap enough and if it would give 5 to 10 mpg then it could be an objective way to increase fuel economy...

    MAF Question

    This is a question to the general TDI braintrust: Could a restricted airflow situation cause MAF failure?? When I was diagnosing my bad MAF, I discovered that my screen was filthy and clogged. I cleaned it then, but only now remembered it. Just wondering?

    My car in limp mode??

    Ok, today my car was running fine, going about its regular travels to the town halls across CT recording mortgages on the land records. Anyway earlier in the day I thought I noticed some diminished power, but then thought it could be my imagination or maybe I finally got some of Skypup's "bad...
