    Clutchless AC compressor lubrication when not running

    As I understand it, no freon flow = no lubrication. It should always bypass a little so I don't see harm in driving it with the aim of repairing it. If you ignore it, you'll eventually lunch the compressor but you don't seem the type.

    Is the glassparency windshield coating still a consideration in 2025?

    I like the FlyBy30 because it seems to accept more product when it starts to fade. It also doesn't affect wiper functionality. I have used other ceramic products and the wipers either skip or leave a film/fog when wiping or when the product fades and you re-apply it doesn't seem to bond...

    CarPro FlyBy30 is still my favorite. Cheap, too.

    New (to me) car! '06 Jetta TDI

    I moved to my company's QA department and I'm now WFH. All the Jetta has done since July 6th is kill my grass.

    New (to me) car! '06 Jetta TDI

    Said sayonara to the Jet A today. Put 34k miles on it in almost exactly two years. Edit it to clarify: I've owned the car for 23 months and it has been on the road for 18 months. So averaged ~1,900 / month.

    2006 bmw 325i buy or no buy?

    Oh and I did have oil migration into the DME harness from the cam sensor. Had to replace the sensor and a bit of the harness.

    2006 bmw 325i buy or no buy?

    Yes. Mine had the gray interior and everything I touched scratched and peeled. Aside from that it was a solid car. Had to fix some oil leaks, and I did have the broken head bolt under the cam gear that the early cars can get. Drove awesome.

    2006 bmw 325i buy or no buy?

    If the car is in good overall condition I say go for it. My '06 had a lot of soft-touch plastics that would peel and scratch, and it was only 6 years old at the time.

    Rant about USAA Insurance

    I dumped USAA too, for insurance and banking. Their customer service has fallen off a cliff. I can call my local State Farm branch on a local number and a real person that lives where I live answers the phone. Ditto with Navy Federal and Pen Fed. And because they have physical locations I...

    BMW Thinks The Electric M3 Is So Good You'll Forget About The Gas One

    For me there would only be positives to owning the M3EV vs the standard M3. I am very much an enthusiast, but I'm tired of the current half measures. I either want an old car or I want the future. If you listen to the Internet, the last "real M3" I perpetually the previous generation. The...

    Golf TDI Autobahn with a manual transmission

    Interesting. TDI or GTI? Because that's either a GTI with an engine swap or a TDI with a GTI front end and wheels. And interior.

    high price on 1993 Cobra R

    This is the dealer that I bought my Defender from. This car is not actually for sale but part of the owner's collection... And this is just one of the impressive cars in that showroom. All the way to the left of frame is a Mystichrome Cobra Convertible. He also has a Ford GT. I suspect the...
