    A/C doesn't blow cold slower than 40 mph

    As odd as that sounds, it seems true. Beginning this weekend, my air conditioner doesn't blow cold when I'm stuck in slow traffic. But it gets nice and cold again (though slowly) when I'm moving fast again. Does this make sense? Any thoughts?

    Happy 100k!

    I just hit 100k last week, and it's been a fun 7 years. Here's to another 100k and 7 more! (cheers2) So I'm gearing up for the usual oil change, but also tune up, other cleans/flushes. I'm only just starting to see that rough idle issue. And I'm not comfortable digging around for the EGR...

    No low-beams

    Last night I noticed I had no low-beams. Highs are fine, fogs are fine, turn signals and parking lights fine. The bulbs are a few months old. I haven't had a chance to investigate yet, but I'm thinking (hoping) it's a fuse. Does that sound about right? Thoughts?

    Back-up light wire color

    I'm installing a navigation system, and I need to connect to the reverse light wire. When I dismantled the tail light assembly, it looked like it was the Yellow/Red wire. But that wasn't the case when I cut the same colored wire in the tube along the floor on the driver's side. The reverse...

    Bluetooth microphone placement, etc.

    Hey guys. I'm excited because my new head unit arrives today. Finally replacing the factory stereo (after 7 years) with a Kenmore DNX-6140. http://www.crutchfield.com/dnx6140 Instead of paying my local audio shop $300 labor, I think I can do this myself. My main concern is where/how to...

    headlight haze question

    Hey guys. I found the how-to on headlight haze, and I think I'll do it. Question though: is any of the haze (which I assume is more accurately described as oxidization) ever on the *inside* of the headlight? Thanks.

    Anybody know the red p5 in Norfolk, VA?

    Pretty sure it's an '02, but it's got a gigantic exhaust that I could probably fit a small cantaloupe in. I'm curious to ask the owner how it sounds (it was parked in a garage downtown) and if he has any other mods. I don't know any p5 owners in my area, much less any with mods, so it would be...

    02 P5 roof rack filler caps?

    Hey everyone, so I decided I liked the streamlined look without the cross bars (note the hot shark fin!!), but I'll probably still use the rack from time to time, so I don't want to remove the rails entirely. Does anyone have a part number (if they exist?) for what would be a snap-in filler for...

    80k on original spark plugs

    Yeah you heard right... I bought the car new in June 2002, and it just now occured to me that I might want to replace the spark plugs, having rolled over 80k this week. Never had any problems though, and I'm curious to see what they look like coming out. I'll post if anyone wants to see...

    Can I reprogram VTCS myself?

    Of course I have the infamous VTCS rattle, and I haven't gotten around to going to the dealership yet. I looked at the TSB, and my VIN number seems to fall in the category where they don't replace any parts but just recalibrate the computer. Is this something I can do myself? If not, is the...
