You are having the same experience (good) with your VW as I am having with both of mine. Bought both new, All Track has been around for 8.5 years and the Passat just shy of 6. 5000 mile oil changes with the appropriate VW oil.

I will always remember the video of him stepping of the last rung of the platform on that balloon and quickly disappearing from site as fell towards the earth. He struggled a bit with spin but got it straightened out and broke the sound barrier as he fell. What an incredible feat. RIP, Felix!

Maybe a bit big but a VW Atlas is nice.

Another reason to keep driving what I have, thank you very much!

I know after hitting a deer in my old diesel Passat years ago that VW is very fussy about crumple zones. There was a TINY wrinkle in the side of the hood metal but VW insisted it be replaced which it was. They told the insurance company that it was part of the safety system in an accident and...

Fuel filter clogged?

Get some n-butyl mercaptan from a local chem lab. Put a rag in a jar and pour in the mercaptan. DON"T get it on your hands. Seal the jar and put it in a nice package after labelling the jar as containing something valuable. Thy will be esay to find and obnoxious to others.

Back in the days (1980s) i Boston with the old tunnels to get into the city from the airport, they used to funnel abou4-6 lanes to two. My boss and i were in a rental creeping forward. Boss was driving. A big Mercedes kept trying to cut us off. Boss told me to roll down the window and yelled a...

Interesting. I have owned four VWs in the past 13-14 years and only one ever had a warranty repair and that was for a window that would not close properly. Took five minutes to fix. Fit and finish were and are excellent on these vehicles. Of the current two gassers (bought new), neither burns...

Toyota generally builds quality vehicles that last . Their engineers seem to know what they are doing so if a larger filter would improve their car and longevity, I am sure that is what would be on it. Follow their recommendations.

I would think you might want it to be blue all around like it is in the middle.

I am 77. I really don't give a hoot what people think about how I dress. Part of the great thing about getting older. If they don't like how I dress, they can look in another direction!

B It seems lighter inside. Also, I am not (personally) a fan of the big structure in the front of A.

Every 10C you go up in temperature, reaction rate basically doubles. So living in a hot area will cause things like oxidation to happen at a greater rate. Ten years is really great for your tires. I have had Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on my VW All Track now for about four years/26000...

What vehicle and engine? Is this for reducing stiction? If not, what is it supposed to do?
