This hurts to read (original post). No question about what happened. I suppose the oil wasn't checked either? At a 10K OCI, i'd wager that there was probably 3 qts max of nasty oil in the sump lol. To end this on a happy note, my 1.8T Has 200K after 10 years of ownership and still going strong

Reed's Extra Ginger Ginger Ale. If I'm going for a traditional carbonated pop, 7Up or a grapefruit soda (Fresca anyone?)

My 2001 Passat 1.8T just turned over 180K. Current fill is M1 5W-40 HD. I've never really followed a particular brand, just stuck to 5K changes, BIG filter (mann-o-lator from pep boys)and a high quality A3/B3 syn oil. Over the years I have used M1 0W-40, GC, Valvoline maxlife 5W-30, Synpower...

Three words: Plochman's Spicy Stoneground....

Church's chicken is the the only food place I've been to which featured bullet-proof glass between the customer and cashier. I fondly remember one of my friends in high school having to defend his leftovers from a drunk guy. They were literally playing tug'o'war with a half-eaten drumstick....

I like good beer and red wine- depending on dinner. never less than 1, never more than 3.

I read somewhere about both the wiring harness issue and head gasket. There are quite a number of new looking parts (hoses, wires,etc) under the bonnet. My assumption is that since the wiring harness was an age/environmental exposure issue, it either has already happened and been replaced, or...

HI all thanks for the input thus far. My thought was to stick with Delo or maybe M1 High Mileage 10w-40, sticking with the idea of Older German car=Nice simple heavier oil. The engine I'm not worried about so much, but the tranny I'd like to get squared away ASAP. It's my understanding that the...

Any Benz people want to steer me toward a particular brand or grade of oil? Also auto trans fluid? Thanks in advance. -Eric It has 8-valve 6-cyl. and 120K miles. Nice ride!

VW Passat 2001 1.8 turbo, 135,000 miles Use whatever 502.oo oil is on sale or available and Mann-olators from pepboys. Changed every 5K. Runs great!

Another vote here for Braeburn. I lived near an orchard for some time in Humboldt County. The market near my jobsite sold their Braeburns for something like 0.69/lb. I ate 2-3 every day until they were no longer avialable.

Wienerschnitzel now features a "chili cheese-fry (sic) burrito" It is part of of the value menu. I had a Fear Factor moment and ate one just to savor the ridiculousness of it. It was nasty-bad. Hey, it's vegetarian!

Nobody here enjoys a nice Reed's Ginger Brew once in awhile? I sure do.. an occasional Jarritos Mandarin when I hit the taco truck too-SWEET! Forget about the coko/peps stuff

Trader Joes sells a decent white crust for 99 cents and whole grain for a bit more. Within a few tries I was able to rival the local gourmet pizza place (The Cheese Board in Berkeley, $18 pies)I like it margherita style.

It is refreshingly simple to behold. However now I realize how seamless and buttery-smooth my Passat 1.8T is to drive. I drive the VW to work and I try to rip around town in the Corona for my around town evening/weekend driving. 0-35 MPH it's pretty untouchable- these things weigh in at just...
