Separate names with a comma.
The "W" stands for winter not weight. The lower the number, the better the oil flows at low temperature. The second number is the vicosity...
Thanks, Weasel. I had it backwards! :(
I know in VW parlance "closed loop" is when the engine bases fueling on the MAP sensor readings, before the oxygen sensor(s) and catalytic...

Sorry, I meant the OP. Floor jack, 2x4, jack up one side at a time.
This is pretty much the same way I rotate mine. Easy peasy and fast and easy.
Ah, the old "the gas cools the fuel pump, so don't run your gas low". Probably comes from a time when gas quality wasn't as good and you didn't...
I think you guys are on to something here about just replacing the whole unit - EGR valve and radiator/heat exchanger. I believe this is why...
Gotcha, sounds like you have a plan. :)
Have you checked out the Carmax in Des Moines? They have a few Gen IIIs priced in the mid-teens (don't know what your budget is) and several...

Count me in with the "just snug it up" bunch. I have a torque wrench and used it the first couple of changes, but now I just do it by feel. I've...
I have a 2010 and mine started consuming at about 100k miles. I'm the second owner, but the car had been serviced regularly by the original owner...
I need to do this on mine. I know these IMs don't use a standard paper gasket, but have the rubber insert thingy that seals it to the block. If I...
OP, please remember to check your oil level on a regular basis. Just because the 0W-20 gives you a 10k interval does not mean you shouldn't check...
