I added a gas-shock rod to the hood my v, so I don't have to futz with the regular hood prop! It's a big improvement. Described in detail in this...
Update: I still love this damper! I smile every time I open my hood with one hand and it props itself up. :) I'm in the process of cleaning up...
Well, if you want to extend your stock of 0W20, you could use 5W20 in the summer - it will work the same way until it gets cold. (The number...
I would guess this would be the primary factor - at least at highway speeds. The type of AC drive system might have something to do with it; I...
Another update, after another road trip. This one was about 500mi round trip, and the conditions weren't QUITE as bad as those in my OP. Weather was...
Have you looked in your owner's manual? I vaguely remember seeing some details about towing the v. I think there was a warning about towing -...
Interesting - I guess this makes sense. But I've also read in other car manuals (including the v's, if I recall correctly) that the AC often...
Alan - welcome to the forum, congrats on the new v purchase, and way to go with the self-improvement plan! Keep it up! I don't see on your profile...
A quick question, for those who have installed HIDs - do they always flash quite bright when you first turn them on, then dim down to running level?...
Me too! Thanks for the recommendation. Also got the 4300K color. Their installation video is very helpful. The only part of the installation...
Don't base your price info on the amazon link above... They're a great place to buy a lot of things, but motor oil generally isn't one of them....
Wow - I've never heard of this as a potential problem! There are a lot of cars that come with center caps direct from the factory - including...
I can't believe people are really criticizing AllenZ here - maybe his accident was theoretically avoidable; maybe not. His point is that we...
Nope, no need to remove them, unless you want to replace the caps.... [IMG]
Update: One of my LED fixtures failed after less than a year of use. Granted these were relatively cheap, but they were very inexpensive, but they...
Update - have used it for 3 days now, and it works fine. I have it hooked to an outdoor timer, and it runs for a little over 3 hours in the morning....
Absolutely - get rid of them! Apparently some salesmen claim the covers help with mileage, but this makes NO sense. They're almost exactly the...
OK, then, advice will be given! As for equipment, you shouldn't need to buy all that stuff. In fact, I did an oil change in college with nothing...
Second attempt was a success! Eventually. It was still quite a wrestling match, but in the end, the heater ended up inside the engine block, and all...
Interesting thread - for me, the back shape, lumbar support, and head rest in the v are fine. But the thigh support is seriously lacking! I have a...
