Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and happy to be here! Well, I decided to bite the bullet and keep the rabbit I bought recently. I was worried that I made a mistake after seeing how fast I had to start paying for repairs, and reading a bit too much about things like transmission problems...

Hi everyone, new to the forum from Newnan, GA USA. We have a 2017 Tiguan Limited 2.0 TSI that's due for an oil change. I need to know how to detach the plastic belly pan(splash pan?) under the engine to access the oil pan drain plug? I see the 2 T45 bolts and removed the 9 or so T20 screws...

I got a couple of free gallons of Mobile One full synthetic 15W-50 oil from a friend. It says it's for API Service SN, not a diesel designation. It would make a great summer oil. Can I use it in my daily driver 1.6 NA engine. Normally I run Chevron Delo 400 15-W-40. Comments please.

Hey everyone! New vw owner here! So I just bought a 2001 Passat 1.8t wagon as a side project. This is my first 1.8t so I don't really know much about these engines. Anyway, I got the car from someone who said it needed a new head gasket and valve cover gasket. I drove it home and the car...

Been lurking around here and there on this forum. Actually had something I needed direct help with. So my sister in law calls me the other day on her way home from school that her Oil light is on and the dash is beeping. No abnormal engine noise - yet. I got to the car, it is in fact...

I have about 35 gallons of tractor trans/hydraulic fluid and was wondering if anyone had any experience using this in making black diesel fuel. Any insight is appreciated. [emoji4]
