We have a local VW club and we meet at Sonic on Riverside Sunday nights @ 6:00. Come on out, we have a few TDI's and even some air cooled guys will show up.

Who knew, that's pretty cool. I'll definitely have to swing by for some tots and conversation if I don't have anything going on.

Got to talk briefly to an older gentleman last night filling up who had an early 2000 Golf. He asked how I liked mine and of course I said I love it. He told me his had 200,000 plus miles on his. Still looked to be in good condition. Then after that a MK6 Golf pulled in as well. I would way that I see atleast 4-5 TDI's a week in my area if not more.

Anyone in here with a grey CR MKV with a banks exhaust, tag started with H77?

I was following behind you on 294 North this morning to Dempster, see him every once and a while.

Also, for the record, I work in Vernon Hills and live in Willow Springs.... so I'm a transient southsider and honorary northsider...

Is this done for the summer? If there's a few people interested, I'd be willing to haul my Malone tuning equipment down for a meet. I'll also have a location in Antioch, IL available for tuning by appointment coming soon.

Hmm, that'd be tempting. I've been considering a 1.5 egr delete since I bought the car. Either way it's good to know there's someone kinda local. Any advice on the dynamic idle and other options?

If you are doing an EGR delete, I wouldn't do the Dynamic Idle. The Dynamic Idle and Dynamic EGR both work together to speed warmup. I'd have very few people go with the Dynamic EGR (most delete it) and even fewer do the Dynamic Idle. It seems to work as advertised. Personally, I've seen what heavily soot loaded oil does to diesel engine's valvetrains and I prefer to delete it and run a winter front.

It is but I'm sure that it will start to slow down soon as the weather is turning cooler. I wish that I would have known that when I tuned my Passat.

I was filling up the company car this morning at the Speedway on Ogden in Brookfield. Saw a silver A4 filling up, plate started "HYC". Any takers?

My red 02 Jetta and I are in Decatur today and tomorrow. If you see Kansas plates, dark tint, and a spoiler go by that's me :)

Met another TDI'er in my neighborhood in Joliet yesterday. You used to drive a red '03 Beetle TDI, and now you have a champagne colored NMS Passat with a license plate referencing Clean Diesel.

Didn't get a chance to mention TDIClub, but if you happen to be here let's chat again sometime.
