Yeah, mine is too small for the 240, and I'm probably not going to bother getting a bigger one since I can at least get under this car to change it. It was a must for the TDI though. It's...

yeah I was afraid to keep turning it after that, and by the time I could think about it we were out of extra fluid, so just turned her off. It was not steering bad before at all (no pulsing), but it...

Well, I didn't really drive enough to justify the note I was paying on the TDI. When I bought the Jetta I was driving out of state every other weekend. The MPG was great. In the city, it's not as...

They did run it out of oil I'm assuming from the records, which is strange considering how much time they put into maintaining it. It says they overheated it.
