Ha, I just changed mine for the first time at 200,000 miles in an attempt to solve a cold-start issue, and they weren’t even the problem. So my 200,000 mile 16 year old coils are still good. =]

Not that difficult, but still annoying. Timing belt on VW 1.8t. Have to remove the intercooler charge pipe, coolant reservoir, (intake manifold isn’t a bad idea), passenger side engine mount, drop the engine down a little, and good luck getting the tensioner and idler pulley in place with what little room you have…

Drift mode and normal tires. I’ll take three.

WHAT. I NEED THIS.

I’m not convinced. There are no skid marks or anything. I’ve seen plenty of hard braking by loaded trailers, and the air brakes should be more than enough to lock up all wheels immediately after air pressure loss.

Cut fenders, weak point somewhere in the frame, soft top that’s seen better days, oversize tires on an AMC 20, and (maybe just from my perception) a lower rear end than front end meaning new leaf packs needed, and it’s a project with rust. CP.

Underrated comment.

So now Honda pre-installs the fart can sound. Great.

I usually don’t have much to say about vehicle interiors, because mine are all 16+ years old, but that steering wheel does not fit.

Some drag vehicles can ‘unlock’ the front or rear axles on demand, allowing the car to disable the front wheels to do a RWD burnout to heat up the tires that matter the most, and then re-enable them for an AWD launch/run. Tricky transmissions.

You sound like a prime candidate for a Mosin Nagant, comrade.

My first car is a MK4 Jetta with over 200,000 miles and a salvage title. I will sell it if I get offered $1500.

Gran Turismo does not lie. Which is why I refuse to buy any used car. I need to buy it new so I can immediately change the oil for that sweet power bump.

$25 hatch struts that should in no way take more than an hour to change.

I don’t know.. Have you seen the Reliant Robin episode?

And then your competition does the same thing, and now all of you sell half as many vehicles as before and make half as much money.

I’m more surprised that the CEO has to actually buy one.

I bought a MK4 Jetta 1.8t with 100,000 miles on it 5 years ago. It now has over 200,000 miles and runs like a top. A few sensors have died along the journey (O2 sensors, one ABS sensor that was probably my fault, washer fluid level sensor [doesn’t affect function], and a light is on for a brake pad life sensor because…
