Ok. I finally bought my TDI. I have wanted one for a long time just had to wait til the right one caught my wallet.
So the one that hooked me was a 2012 GTI.
I love the car to death already. But I have never ran diesel. So I have no idea on the fine print. So I figure easiest way to get info is from peers and other fans. So here's a list of rookie questions.
1. Fuel additives? Yay or nay? If so brands & types?
2. Where is the best place to buy aftermarket parts? (Both cosmetic and performance.)
3. DPF... My car had popped a P240F. It's a dealer code and they want $2300 to fix it. I do t have that kind of change so I'm not fixing it yet. So if I run it without fixing it exactly how bad is it? It will be fixed in a month or so.
4. I use maverick fuel. Is there a quality difference or even a preference over other stations?
5. 7000 Mile oil changes?? I read that it's true but I still feel like that's a bit far. So when do you change yours?
6. A link to a maintenance schedule my car has 55k Miles on it and I'm worried about the timing belt.
Thank you in advance! Feel free to copy and paste for easy answering. I may update this post if I find other small questions.
