#1386 of 1441 Re: Service Interval Light Reset [600kgolfgt] by autoboy16 Jan 09, 2008 (8:21 pm)
Replying to: 600kgolfgt (Jan 06, 2008 4:25 pm) thanks! i guess thats why redline, mpg, and power went up. kinda sad the beetle stayed the same... but even worse it hasn't gotten redesigned in 10 years! I sketched 1, but i highly doubt vw would use it. Its a RR(rear engine rear drive) car. Pretty much the engine moved to the back and the driver is ahead of the center of the car and the roof slopes more but directly behind the rear seat. Then there was that stretched in every direction boxster with somewhat usable rear seat idea i had... but i just gave up on it.   With vws new 7speedDSG, think vw will offer it on th new tdi or base 2.5 or both?   -Cj
#1387 of 1441 extra wiper swipe by jeffyscott Jan 31, 2008 (6:44 am)
On our 2005.5 "new" Jetta, when you do a windshield wash, the wipers make an extra swipe after some delay. This is often annoying as when you are going slow or stopped it is not needed and sometimes just serves to smaer things. Can this be turned off by the dealer or using a Vag-Com? (we do not have the Multi-Function interface to change settings, I don't know if it is an option under that)

#1389 of 1441 Jetta 07 Exhaust Question by borasport Feb 03, 2008 (6:46 pm)
Hello, I want to know if removing my catalytic converter will reduce my performance, because I heard that this cars need some back pressure to operate properly.   thanks...

Replying to: borasport (Feb 03, 2008 6:46 pm) I believe to have a car legally on the road it must pass emissions tests...which requires a catalytic converter.   Plus I think they're pretty expensive...so I wouldn't go throwing it in the trash.

Replying to: ivan_99 (Feb 04, 2008 6:50 pm) Well, I live in mexico so the legal part doesn't really matter... Actually I already removed the catalytic converter and did not throw it away, but the thing is that I don't know if it will damage my car in a long term. I heard that these car is pressurized or something like that, although not sure it is true. I mean... I would like to know the pros and cons of removing it.

Replying to: borasport (Feb 05, 2008 2:19 pm) Well that is interesting. Why would you remove part of the exhaust system on a new car if you're concerned about long term reliability?   Not being an engineer...I don't think anything would be wrong with removing it. I think most cars would make a "little" more power with it removed...I don't think the ECU would adjust the fuel settings...i think there is a front O2 sensor for that (before cat).   However, I would expect the check engine light to stay lit.

Replying to: ivan_99 (Feb 05, 2008 10:39 pm) Well, I actually removed the catalytic converter to gain a little more hp, I also installed a new software in the ECU, I think is APR... so I think the combination of both things will work well.... and yes my check engine thing is lit up.
#1394 of 1441 deciding on wheels and tires by warhub Feb 25, 2008 (2:16 pm)
I'm in the process of purchasing a new 08 GLI. I am having trouble deciding between a car with the 18" Hufeisen wheels with all-season tires or the 17" stock Denver wheels with all-season tires. I like the look of the 18" wheels better but I live near New York City and between the snow and the potholes, I'm unsure. The money isn't the issue but I don't have room to buy two sets of wheels. Given that I can only pick one, which is the way to go. Pros and cons? Thanks. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Feb 25, 2008 7:46 pm) crikey (Feb 26, 2008 1:05 am)

Replying to: warhub (Feb 25, 2008 2:16 pm) 17"   Pros: Cheaper, lighter, replacement tires are cheaper, less friction (possibly better gas mileage), less unsprung weight might actually mean better handling.   18"   Pros: Looks cool   I know, I know.... still a tough choice..
