Pictures of the storage tray, as promised (albeit late). Again, part is new in box, only taken out to test fit, and is in mint condition. $100 or no offer. GVRD only; will not ship. In original packaging: The underside, to show the textured adhesive inserts (taped in place from factory) that...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/16/us/for-first-time-epa-proposes-reducing-ethanol-requirement-for-gas-mix.html?_r=1& An interesting about-face. Personally, I like your ethanol enriched fuel, as it's much better than B.C.'s crappy gas. I've always thought the idea of trading food stock for fuel...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/new-5-device-easily-unlocks-car-doors-for-thieves-in-winnipeg-1.2288826 So, what do we know about this? Does it affect us, and if so, would disabling the remote in VAG-COM solve the issue? This could change everything where keyless entry is concerned. :mad:

Blew my first coil pack last night on the way home from work. Limped it into the dealership and they verified that it was a bad coil pack, which isn't covered by my powertrain warranty. So, given that it was on my dime, I had them install the R8 coil packs instead; part number 06E-905-115-E...

Because it sucked?

Alzor Style 349's Saw these in my inbox today, and for the price, well... wow. Anyone in the know capable of telling me why the Alzor's are half the price of a V710? No disrespect intended towards VMR at all! I just can't get past the price difference here.

xatnys, you're either not reading your own posts, or you're being obtuse; I'm not sure which, but it's getting harder to give you the benefit of the doubt. It's abundantly clear that I'm challenging your "violent crime" figure, and not the homicide rate, but you're suggesting I'm the one...

Well, now you have... This isn't my picture, but it's exactly what my gauge looks like, too. The minute you have a logo on something, you can't possibly say it looks OEM; the illusion is shattered before it had a chance to form. And all of the brand examples you gave were perfectly...

That's a pretty gorgeous setup, actually; I like! It's also a bit lower than my DGs, which are MkV Auto 2D on a MkV Auto 2D. You've got me thinking now, as I don't think I'd want to go any lower, given our local roads. Maybe I should get the B6s after all? Just how much can the struts and...

My `09 is at the dealer for its 60,000km service, and its bumper-to-bumper warranty expires within a week. I've been complaining of a click when maneuvering at parking lot speeds, and turning the wheel to full lock. They've identified a leaking strut, and replaced just the one under warranty...

Well dude, I'll try not to harsh your buzz too much. A bartender girlfriend would be a terrible thing to waste! But seriously... you took my comment, and put it underneath something other than what I was commenting on. That's the very definition of the phrase, "out of context", so... By your...

What's not to love?

Ok, I'll follow your lead here and try to make this more civil. Here, we'll have to agree to disagree, I guess. You say this is Volkswagen's recommendation, and I say that's simply not correct. The oil you've linked is simply one of the many oils Castrol makes, which is appropriate for some...
