I need to upload it, but I snapped a pic of the Wix I just pulled off the wife's car. No twist. I did the fram once and it came out looking like the pic above.

There is no way you gained mpg off of E85. It has 25% less BTU than gasoline. To get the same amount of power and match its air:fuel ratio it requires more fuel for the same load.

no kidding.. if the trans was being replaced under warranty I would gladly pay for a new cooler.

They really got in there and checked to see how much clutch you had left? ... I think you need to get a second opinion on that. As far as the warranty... yeah, no way that will be covered unless something else broke and caused the clutch to go early.

Wife told me ours did that at a stop light. That was the first and only time it has done that. Keep us posted.

Odd, my OEM filter did the twisting and WIX didn't.

and goofy looking IMO.

should? In most states that car could still be sold as brand new (going off his mileage). Take it back,... now. (poke)

I think I need to make a call. My OEMs where done at 25k due to that issue. Also the womp womp womp noise at speed was really annoying.

Call me crazy but I don't put DSGs in the same boat as other Autos. Other autos as in slush boxe type autos w/ torque converters. IMO: Slushbox > Dead ferret glued to the output shaft Manual > Slushbox Good DSG style trans > Manual (large city/ heavy traffic area) Non automated Manual >...

I'm 6'2" and have PLENTY of headroom in the 5 with the moon roof. That is once I get the seat all the way down and back. Then again I am accustom to driving a small car.

I helped a friend remove one of the ground straps that broke off a +4. If you are running those plugs and suddenly develop a tapping sound.. you may want to pull the plugs and count, lol. I think all asian cars like NGK, it holds true with my Korean ride. It is much happier with NGK...

They have a few tires on the market that have a harder compound on the inside edge of the tire to deal with a little extra camber. I read about them, but can not remember who made them at this time. If I run across that info I will post it here.

I am 6'2" and have plenty of room if... I push the seat all the way back and drop it down as far as it will go via the pump handle on the side. I was worried I wouldn't fit during my test drive until I found that thing. My wife is 5'2" so she has to do the opposite. Raise it all the way up with...
