My area had some heavy rain today... Every 20 seconds or so I'd get a leak from the door's main seal. The drops would fall on the edge of the seat, on the floor mat or on the dashboard corner - depending on the precise location of the drip. They just ordered a new seal for me, though nothing...

VW could knock roughly 60 pounds off of the GTI's front end with an aluminum engine block. They could knock more weight off the front end (and, more importantly, the un-sprung weight of the front suspension) by specifying the Passat's aluminum uprights... These combined changes would result in...

I would encourage any GTI owner who doubts the following to drive a new Camaro SS: This Camaro SS pulled a whopping 10 seconds (nearly 1,200 feet) per lap on the GTI at Virginia International Raceway in this C&D "Lightning Lap."...

Mine's getting "fixed" under warranty. The dealer was clueless until I gave them the TSB number yesterday, which further confirms my low opinion of the dealership. The service rep had the TSB procedure in front of him when he sat down with me after they "verified" the problem. I did not look...

Has anyone yet figured out a way to disable this ANNOYING light? Covering it with tape won't work, since the damn light is so bright that it shined right through my thumb when I temporarily tried to cover it as a "test." I am not pulling the headliner or cutting wires on this car, since it's...

I'm sick of seeing the light flashing, illuminating, etc. I don't use any Bluetooth devices in this car, don't touch any related buttons and yet the damn thing keeps blinking, illuminating, etc. I took it to the dealer and the service manager said, "It's part of Onstar.":lol: The owner's...

:( All three of the 13mm hex head bolts that thread into the driver's door and secure it to the body were loose by between 2 and 3 full turns. I tightened all three down tight using a 13mm box wrench. I can only assume that they weren't torqued at the factory... I don't have a tool to...
