The pads are ok I checked them as well yesterday. They have a different light. I have checked the handbrake switch out as well. Im gonna find that buzzer and destroy it.

OK heres the deal. 01 jetta 1.8t. The "BRAKE" light on the dash is lit up and sounding a buzzer constantly when i drive like the hand brake is on. I checked the handbrake switch and the low brake fluid switch in the master cylinder and they are both functioning correctly. I have been told that...

Originally Posted By: gathermewool Well, do what you want, bubba. In the end, your car will probably be wear out or be destroyed by modding (you said you get bored, so I'm guess that's not exclusive to oil) before your oil choice will. Out of curiosity, did your pickup crack or in any way fail...

Yea I usually use T6 I was just looking at some others because I just get to bored easily I guess. The only VOA I found on it had a ton of calcium and a lot of zinc so I figured it would be good for cleanliness and wear. BTW I meant for this to be in the other PCMO section sorry

I had PU in my Subaru but had to drain the oil prematurely when my upgraded oil pickup arrived. I have seen a few UOA's on the delvac and it looks stout. Any opinions on using it in the turbo Suby. I dont really drive it that hard just a few WOT runs occasionally. Im sure some will say it will...

I for one would'nt ruin a good oil with Lucas unless its noisy and you want to sell it fast. Especially since the extra thickness obviously isnt helping consumption.

Thats funny I just replaced the lower pcv hose on my girlfriends' jetta today. Its part of the pcv system. I would wrap it until the hoses get there. Chances are if the upper one is that bad the lower one is too. Follow the one that goes downward and check it out. I replaced hers with this one.

I always ran Klotz in my suzuki quadracers and when it came top end time they were always nice and clean inside. You gotta love the smell of the klotz my friends always wanted to ride behind me.

I would just use a cheap dino for break in. I miss my 240's. I had a few but I did SR swaps on them. It is a very fun car with decent suspension mods. A good set of coilovers and some swaybars will take care of that s13 understeer.

I have the same problem with every single Purolator filter I have ever used on my accord. Wonder what causes it to seperate from the glue like that?

I was due for an oil change in the Subaru and decided to try it rather than the M1 0w40 I had been using. I cant tell any difference so far but Ive only got a few hundred miles on it since I only drive it in good weather. Im very tired of rain here.

A friend of mine is considering a Mk4 jetta in the gasoline variety (preferably a turbo). Just wondering what everyones opinion of the reliability of these cars are and if there are any common problems to look for. Thanks.

I love my little accord it has almost 291,000 miles and keeps going.

I cleaned the maf. No good still pulses. I dont think the tune would have any thing to do with it, it has had the tune since 2006 and this problem just popped up in the last month. I have been told to replace the fuel pressure regulator and/or the front and rear O2 sensors.
