    SoCal Show and Shine, Wrenching, Dyno GTG June 20, 2015

    Wasted time Left the GTG very disappointed, but what could I have expected? :confused: No one cares about what a good machine the Cruze is, so why should I be concerned about all the Cruze bashing that goes on here at Fred's anyway? I know about the car and let all of those who DO NOT carry...

    Sound Off on Current Diesel Price

    Going Down Paid $2.799 yesterday at the local Arco station in Wildomar near Lake Elsinore. That is way below the Costco station in Temecula that has D2 at $3.259. Love it and I hope this trend continues. :) Regards, Derrel

    Sound Off on Current Diesel Price

    I love it :D Here in Temecula, CA. at Costco, D2 went down to $3.339 from $3.559 a few days ago. There is one Arco nearby that is lower, but when you factor in the 3 percent you get back at the end of the year, the Costco price is lowest by far. They added D2 there two months ago. Costco...

    TDIClub Secret Society of Benz Owners (SSBO)

    Did it Yourself :) Maybe I could have tackled that job myself, but it looked to be a rather difficult job and I 'chickened' out! Might have saved the $255 I spent for labor at my independent shop. Mine let go at 132,425 miles. BTW, I like to read your notes on Fuelly. Why did you stop...

    ?Type/Brand Oil for 2012 Jetta TDI sportwagon

    Price Changed? :) I was paying $6.65 by the quart for Mobil 1 Formula M, but the last time I was at the dealer, I was told that there was a price change coming, so WHO KNOWS what it is now. I did not know that you could buy Formula M in five (5) quarts jugs. Will have to ask the next time...

    HPFP Failure in V6 TDI, or only in 2.0 CR?

    Oh No :) Please NO . . say it is not so! No one has heard from him since 12/11. Don't recall his name, but I believe he was from Oxford Ohio. :confused: :D DHG

    Trip Computer mechanism

    Not Likely :) No. If they have, I have not heard of it! People who know their way around a VCDS can adjust it for much greater accuracy. The same may be done for the speedomter/odometer to correct for different size wheels. :D DHG

    Best MPG for Station Wagen with DSG.

    What's to Figure? :) That's why I said I wanted to talk over the phone. What can't you figure out? Which number entry are you asking about? #32? If that is the one where I got only 37.4 MPG, check out the date! When we go to Vegas, I always go at least the speed limit and usually faster. No...

    Best MPG for Station Wagen with DSG.

    Yes Indeed You Most Certainly Can :) Yes, you most certainly can! :cool: I did it regularly with our 2010 JSW TDI with DSG. View my Fuelly entries for our '10 JSW for 43K miles over a period of 22 months! 'Course, I used a few tricks, but anyone can do that also. Mostly, It is how you...

    Real World MPG with DSG

    Differences in Fuel Economy :) Had a 2010 JSW TDI with DSG. View my Fuelly. Drove it over 43K miles in 22 months. Don't think anyone got better F E with their JSW with DSG, but those who had the 2010 and later JSWs with a manual 6MT could and did IF they knew how to drive 'em. Why you may...

    Fund Raiser for Oilhammer

    My Little Bit :) As usual, I'm always 'a day late and a dollar short', but a small check will be on its way tomorrow. My friend and I were chatting about 23:00 hours Thursday and he pointed out to me Brians' difficulties. I knew what was the right thing to do. I only wish I could give...

    2nd Thursday of each month - Buffalo Wild Wings GTG - Chino Hills

    Was There Thursday Night :) Even though it was the first Thursday of the month, there were a lot of attendees. I suspect that perhaps this gathering occurs on every Thursday night? :confused: Got there at 20:40 myself and there were already lots of people, more than I had ever seen at any...

    Finally My new Passat TDI SEL arrived .

    Makes NO SENSE at ALL :) You may (or may not) recall that we talked about this subject some time ago. ;) I asked why VW would not do the 6 MT set up in the SEL. You replied, but I do not recall exactly what you said. No matter now, as we all now know that are lucky brothers up North get...
