Great tool and worth every penny paid.

A stockroom clerk at a HF store is no authority on the status of China prodiction capacity. Neither am I. But being currently in the manufactuing side of the business, I do know there is a huge lull in import volumes from China. Down 30% at major west coast ports. This lull reflects the dwell to...

Hopefully these homeowner scroll crompressors come down in price. They are very quiet. <a href="https://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-elite-qst-30-60-scroll-air-compressor.html" target="_blank">https:/<wbr>/<wbr>www.eastwood.com/<wbr>eastwood-elite-qst-30-60-scroll-air-compressor.html</a>

Stick with the 507 approved lubes. The Common rail TDI 2L has relatively tough requirements for ring land cleanliness and skirt durability. No reason to save $10 over 10000 miles to use something that may compromise performance. 504/507 products. are easy to come by on the web and finding 5L...

This is what MANN calls out for ‘15 2L TDI. Quite a bit shorter than stock. Normally I would of not installed but the linked bulletin says it is OK. Replaced original OEM UFI (made in Tunisia) which had 38k miles on it (dieselgate car). <a...

They may be saying use a cheap filter and leave it in as they may be compensating some customers on warranty policy.

Napa by me has halfa case of this stuff on close out for almost 2 years. $20 a liter or something. What OEM specs an 0w50?

Just use the Pentosin kit and forget about it. Home brew cocktails have no place in this kind of trans. <a href="http://www.pentosin.net/literature/Pentosin%20DSG%20Kit.pdf" target="_blank">http:/<wbr>/<wbr>www.pentosin.net/<wbr>literature/<wbr>Pentosin%20DSG%20Kit.pdf</a>

Couple examples of what motor oil retails for in Germany. These are pics from a big box DIY store (Bauhaus) and gas station on the Autobahn. Expensive stuff. The 4L of Liqui Moly 15w40 HDEO was the least expensive available.

There is a seller on eBay with Motul 7000 "full synthetic ... ester" for $34/4L in various weights. If somebody wants a JASO MA "full synthetic" this is a decent lower cost option.
