I only paid 6000 for the car in the first place. I'd rather buy another car then spend another 6,000 to MAYBE fix this one. It has 112,000 miles on it. If I can get up to 125,000, I'll be content. The timing belt was replaced when I bought the car so that should be okay. If it isn't... oh well...

Well I'm gonna change the oil and throw some Mobil1 0W-40 in it. I think I'm gonna try the Seafoam since I can get it at the local autozone. Auto-Rx I have to order and wait for. I don't know which is better or how much of a difference there is but I assume that if either of them can clear the...

So I have a 98 Passat 1.8T, I bought it used so I didn't know about the need for full synthetic. I bought it, let it run til it was due, changed the oil once, and now it's due again but not working very well. The oil light just came on and the engine is making a ticking noise. I haven't driven...
