We purchased our first VW a while back. A used 2014 Tiguan. I've discovered the flipin' thing uses/burns oil. And naturally VW says unless the thing burns 1 Qt or more in 1,000 miles, its OK! No worries. Ours use oil, but naturally not that much. In the past 40 years I've had GMC...

I have a 5 speed Mk1 pickup. They normally use 80/90w tranny fluid. It gets stiff in cold weather. I recently bought a Ford Ranger, 1996, with a 5 speed manual transmission. It uses automatic transmission fluid ("Mercon"). This fluid flows better at low temperatures and the Ford transmissions...

We were out looking at cars for my wife to replace her Ford Taurus. We took a test drive and really liked the car. But I've heard that parts are very pricey for VW's. I took a look at Rockauto and the prices seemed a bit higher but not outrageous when compared to a Honda Civic (the other car we...

I thought I'd introduce myself as new (again) VW owner, just turned in my Ford Aspire for a '08 Rabbit auto last night and so far I love it. Not new to VWs as I've had a 67 bug, 79 Westy, 68 monster baja and a 81 rabbit diesel. Already thinking about possible upgrades.... Sent from my...

So my grandpa has a diesel vw rabbit from the early 80's i havent seen it yet, so im not sure of its conditions, only that it still runs aparently, and that the body is rusted out beyond belief, however he has said that i can just take it if i want it, so my question is whether or not it would...

Hi All, Wanted to introduce myself. I was looking for a 2012 Tiguan 4motion with sunroof/nav & leatherette seats in California, but couldn't find one for under $20k, so I had to go with the older (09-11) styling and picked it up for $19k with 28k miles on it at a Ford dealership of all places...

New to the forum. I have a 2000 jetta tdi. I am currently having issues starting the car. I found out the starter was weak so I replaced it and still no start. I am new to the tdi, but familiar with diesels. I have owned a Ford diesel for 4 years. I need to know where to start on these cars to...

Just sayin' hi! Bought my '09 a few weeks ago and I'm really digging it. Long term plans are to lower it a bit, maybe tint windows but basically just enjoy not owning a ford any more, ha! [/URL]Uploaded with ImageShack.com[/IMG]

Hi all, I like the quickclear heated front screen provided by Ford, and understand it is now available on some VW cars, but not the Tiguan. It comes in handy when its freezing..as it helps defrost the screen..making it quick to scrape off. If anyone is interested, may be we can get together and...

Hi all, I purchased my first VW Golf MK4 V5 yesterday and love it. :D: (Always been a ford man.) So, now the question is ive been looking on eBay at coilovers to slam it but they seem to range from £170 to £1000. Other the damper adjustment on the £600 upwards range are the £170 coilovers any...

I am sure this has been covered but the car makes a loud whining like an old ford power steering pump. And its not the power steering pump cause these cars don't have that part. The noise is loud but has been there for a while. Is it something to be concerned about.

Hi all, Is it safe to steam clean the magnesium alloy engine casings (it's just the casing)? I'm rebuilding a transmission (Ford C6) and getting the aluminum casing steam cleaned and wondered about helping out a buddy and getting his casing cleaned at the same time ... but concerned that the...

I took delivery of my 2008 Tornado Red R32 with 31,077 miles on the clock last night (12/13). I have been looking for one since some idiot ran a red light and totaled my tricked out 1980 Ford Fiesta XR2. Nice upgrade but I do miss my old car. Cheers, Craig
