the coolant is kind of a murky green color, is that nromal? I was concerned about the looks of it prompting the coolant flush. when I look at the resevoir the coolant line is just above "LOW", which makes me wonder if this is normal consuption for the 2?

Hi Guys- Winter is coming soon in MN and i really want to do a flush of my coolant system before the cold settles in. My questions are: 1) does the 2 require a specific kind of coolant? (I am asking becuase I had a GTI once and it had to take the exspensive pink OE VW coolant.) 2) has anyone...

In June I went to the Wisconsin dells and averaged about 40 mpg goin there. coming back, drafting off of a semi I was averaging according to my MPG average aroung 52mpg @ 60mph. I was very impressed by this but i had some help... I drafted off off a semi for about 100 miles reducing the...

easiest oil change I've ever DONE! Just a bit pissed off that the guys who did my last oil change torqued the drain bolt so tight I had to use a hammer on the 19mm to knock it loose. other than that, easy peasy, didnt even need a jack.

Hi guys. I'm partaking in a night time sdt event and I have these awesome kc highlights that I want to mount on the front of the car to I'm prove my visibility. Is there a way to modify the front bumper or mounting spots for those light to where thy won't cause damage to my bumper? I'm trying...

Hi guys. I'm so bummed out right now. I took my baby for a wash yesterday. Here is the back story; I always wash my car at this one place during winter. It's simple, nothing fancy and cost only 4$. So I've been going there about every two weeks for a quick wash to get the road salt off. Well...

well that settles it, I'm going to wait for the 6 speed to come with the 2.5. I'm in no rush, also the speed 3 if it ever comes out would be sweet like we all know it would be, but I know the speed3 will be wayyyyyyy to rich for my blood. I'm just going to keep on dreaming

I'm a proud m2 owner but I've been thinking of upgrading to the new 3. I... I really really like the way it looks. I just got done looking at it. I opted out of a test drive because it's snowing like a mofo and it's just plain slick out there on top on rush hour traffic. Yikes! So I'll be coming...

I forgot to mention that I am a full time college student and just spent 800$ on tools for my trade. So money is an issue. Can I get by by just replacing the one tire or should I do it in sets of two? Thanks for the help!

Well last week I came out to my car with a flat tire. Took it off,found a screw had it it patched. Yesterday, my tps sensor went off, looked and found another nail in the same tire only this time in the side wall. So now I'm stuck with having to buy a new tire(s) for the 2. Any suggestions for...

Is my clutch ok? She is a newbie on her 2nd time alone and she took off in 3rd. When she got home she said she burned my clutch and that's the weird smell in the car. I got in and it smells like hot metal. My clutch seems fine but did she do any damage taking off in 3rd?

Hi all. It's definitely winter in Minnesota right now with minus 30 windchills. When its this cold I have a clunking noise in the what sounds like the right front suspension when I go over bumbs. Anybody else have this happen or is this normal since it's so cold out?

Haha, mine went out at exactly 10.000 miles. Warranty covered it. No problems since.

I wish my car came with heated seats. A usb would have been awesome but i have to agree that the stock tires are junk imo. Need the heated seats for mn winters.

sorry for the late reply, it seems that my upgraded fuel pump has diminished a little bit of my MPGs. I was getting roughly about 38 per gallon but recently it been hovering in the 34-36 mpg. I'm not sure if its just the pump but it also started getting cold here in minesnowta. Im not sure if...

So i hit 10,000 miles on the m2 a week or two ago. I went to go start it the other day, Saturday, and she wouldnt crank over, sounded like my starter was not engaging. After about 10 tries i called my dealer and explained the issue. I had it towed. I had to wait till monday to figure out what...

LOL- when i had my jeep wrangler with 35inch mud tires a few friends and I bought a festiva for a $100 and decided to use it as an obstacle to crawl over when we went mudding at this guys farm/mud pit. Needles to say after being run over a couple of times, and after cutting the roof off, the...

Ok so a while back someone said coasting burns more gas than leaving it in gear. SO i tried both methods. coasting is gear is BS. Doing it that way dropped my MPG's significantly, when i filled up and did the math i was only averaging about 36.8mpg, which isnt bad I drove it almost empty and...

i got a rock chip on the hood on the 2nd day after buying my two. Now here is another question, I live in Mn and i see A lot of protege's with rust on the rear arches and most of them are not really that old yet. I wonder if this is going to be a problem for the two's? And is there a good way...
