Thanks for the tip atilla, I am worried the wife may put some gas in it, I'll be looking in the morning for sure. From what I read gas doesn't habe the lub that the pumps need, another reason why water in the tank is bad for diesels. Regardless, I will probably fill er more than my wife, BUT, I will do something to be a very visible way to remember.
Scaf, I hear ya, I AM a little worried, but I am taking the same chance regardless of what I buy, and since it has a fob similar to KIPASS I should be OK
So, the drive home was really nice, got the phone all syned up, calls are as clear or clearer, streaming bluetooth (Metallica of course) was awesome, sat radio was as expected, I am still learning where everything is. Driving the car beats my expectations, at 2500 the turbo starts kicking in and the things pulls like, well, a big diesel. The tranny is a big bonus, when at a light the tranny disengages so the twin clutches aren't burning up, I tried the sport mode, but rush hour traffic was around, and it is the last day of the month, LEOs were plentifull. The Tiptronic will take some getting used to, redline comes far quicker so I am going to need to adjust my shifting to match, but in all honesty, I think I will be in D most of the time, other then when I hit some of my fav roads. I am already missing my truck, kinda sucks, I just had the head and the exhaust manifold replaced, drove it home from the dealer, took all my crap out, and rushed to the VW dealer. It was like a new truck. Oh well, it was the slowest color red.
So, anyone have any recomendations on a chip? Farkeling this car is going to be rough, wife would kill ,e if I added a CB, maybe I'll get a good portable, best LEO sniffer out there, hands down. I haven't figured out where the key hoes yet, maybe the glove box?
So, bottom line from the first day? I like it, comfortable, quiet, great economy, decent power, and looks great. I think I may surprise my wife with a trip to Leavenworth to do a little shopping European style
I can't wait till I am granted access to the TDI forum, I dont see any tire threads or oil threads, so I will be leading off asking if anyone has run a set of MC tires and which synthetic oil is the best
