Don't talk car stuff with non-car people! As you have experienced, it's a waste of time. Let them do what they want and focus your time on your own interests.

I have an off-brand oil extractor I bought from Amazon, here are what the directions say: The operating temperature is between 35 ° F and 200 ° F. Cool down the engine at least 15 minutes after driving. If the car has not been used in the past 4 hours, preheat for at least 3 minutes before...

You've done 5 intake cleaning services in 42K miles? Is the Forester direct injection only? What is your goal of doing intake cleaning so often? Is this engine prone to intake valve deposits?

Changed the original cabin filter in my 2023 VW Jetta GLI since purchasing in November 2022. Installed a MANN filter PN: CUK 26 009 The MANN filter, made in Mexico, and the OEM were identical even though the OEM is Valeo brand and made in Germany.

2023 VW Jetta GLI Out: Dealer installed 0w-20 508.00 oil. 5K miles. In: Mobil 1 ESP 0w-20

Anyone have experience with a soft-start unit with their residential A/C unit? Looking for feedback. Like the one pictured below: All I've seen are positive reviews. I would enjoy the quieter starts and ability to run the A/C with my backup generator.

Awesome! A more convenient and less expensive option for VW 508.00 oil.

A 2022 Jetta SE does not have the DCT, it has a regular 8-speed automatic. (In the US)

Glad to see the ESP available in 5 qt. jugs now. Hope the 0w-20 ESP is available locally.

Rotella gas truck was discontinued about 2 years ago. I bought some on clearance and used it in my old Mazda3. It was not a special oil, if you want to use oil made by Shell, buy Pennzoil or Quaker State.

Hello everyone, I have a lot of old toys, cards, hot wheels, action figures, and other "collectables" from my childhood that I would like to sell on Ebay or Amazon for some extra cash. I am looking for advice and suggestions on the best way to sell and the most cost effect shipping methods and...

I like the color, it looks good in person. I was considering a Mazda3 in that same color.

The factory fill on my 2023 GLI had the oil filled to the middle of the hatching marks on the dipstick, seems normal to me. I only have 8K miles on the car and only used 508.00 oil, the engine is quiet and smooth. I don't understand the weird obsession with this VW spec oil here.

That looks repairable, that is a lot less damage that totaled my old Mazda3 in a rear-end collision. Hope insurance covers a rental car!

Go to a pool supply store and get a 2.5 gallon container of pool chlorine. It's the most effective and cost efficient cleaner that will kill mold/mildew.

I had the oil and filter changed in my Jetta GLI yesterday. Took it to the dealer for it's "annual" (at 6800 miles) oil change, though I changed its oil earlier this year at ~3K miles so this is it's second OCI. This is the first time during my entire car ownership ever that I had someone else...

My VW GLI tends to try to get the oil temp to 220F and stay there in all ambient temperatures.

Nice! I like the color, it looks good in-person in my opinion. I was going to replace by 2007 Mazda 3 hatchback with a new one last year when my 07 was totaled. But, the local dealer didn't have stock and was charging $3K+ "MaRkEt AdJuStMeNTt" on their cars. I ran out of that dealership and...

Someone stops by every once in a while and airs up the tires. If that was truly abandoned in the 1980s, those tires would be completely flat. Not abandoned, but someone is keeping it as a time capsule. Maybe a family member of the owner?
