Re: Let's talk about cars
I'm gonna leave it until Winter has passed, seems stupid to get it replaced when there's so much crap on the roads here and it'll just happen again. Still bloody annoying.
GTI needs a 20k oil change, as I'm lazy I thought I'd inquire how much it would be at the main dealers... $350 Looks like I'll be doing it myself this weekend for the low low cost of $74

Suck the stuff up out of the dipstic tube. Then drop the used oil at Walmart for them to dispose of.

On another note I saw that the Grand Tour episode this week (seems to be available from about 7pm Thursday for us?) is in Colorado, a cheap car challenge with three jaguars. Really excited to see a cheap car challenge again and also excited as I live in CO so it’ll be interesting to see where they go!

I didn't even ask for a breakdown on the cost I pretty much said thanks and goodbye when he said that price.
I got an entire servicing kit from one of the VW enthusiast sites for $74. I'll probably do it today as I'm working from home and it isn't too cold.

It's about 17F here at the moment but no wind. By lunchtime it should be high 30's low 40's so that'll be fine.
I do have to do it on the street though, can't wait to piss my neighbor (the one that sucks) off

Re: Let's talk about cars
Just read a hilarious debate on one of the GTI forums with someone arguing that you should always do your oil change with the engine cold what is wrong with some people!
