    Need help: engine startup situation

    :help: On cold start, for maybe 1 or 2 seconds, my TSI sounds like the cams/valve train are about to jump out out of the head; like a rattling diesel. Of course it may not be the valve train, it might be the oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, etc. If it is warm out (say above 85 degrees F or so)...

    Winter Tires: SPORT or NOT

    When it comes down to it, is the sacrifice you make to get the 'sport' worth giving up some of the overall snow/ice grip capability (not to mention the extra $ it costs)? $388 vs $536 per 205/55 16 quote for 4 (tires only). Tire Rack recommends the regarded Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D for the...

    OE Tires Poll

    If I keep getting my car serviced at the dealer, I get free tires. The only choices are what was available as original equipment. This deal sounds economical to replace at least one set this way. Here are the options: Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Dunlop Sport 01 A/S Pirelli P-Zero Nero A/S...

    Noisy Clutch Pedal w/video

    Noise associated with pedal movement that appears to be localized at the assembly shown. Could it be from the engine/transmission movement pulling the clutch conduit away from the pedal? I don't know. I just know I don't like it. The clutch itself feels fine, does not slip, or anything...
