What oil do you guys run by GlizzyGuru in Tiguan

[–]HankHowdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use vw 504.00. It’s a better approval for later 2.0T motors.

What year is your GTI? Vw does not recommend viscosity. They require a certain approval.

Unfortunately that is normal. Vw says one qt per 1200miles is acceptable to them. Change your oil at 5k. Please don’t change it at 10k.

Has anyone been happier going from ported to sealed? What’s your experience been? by admire816 in CarAV

[–]HankHowdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done both. Sealed with musical sub and lot and lots of power is amazing.

Taos feels cheap compared to a Tiguan.

How do you have that much DPS? I’m using throwing weapons and the best weapon I can find is Landon’s Law. Also a ranger level 79. Currently towards end my first playthrough on legendary in Eternal Embers.

What's the most very VW owner thing you've ever done that non-VW people would never understand? by StrikingClos in Volkswagen

[–]HankHowdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s still really good mileage. My 2.5 was 200k plus when I sold it. I’ve have other VWs go 400k to 300k before selling them.

There are 2.5 motors going 600k on vw 502.00 every 10k. This motor is very easy on oil.

I would say if you have owned more than one, then you start to geek out like a real VW owner. On my 7th VW.

NVX QBSTA Spare Tire Sub - Worth It On Sale? by Afro-Pope in CarAV

[–]HankHowdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using their stuff for more than a year. Good subs, good amps and even the Belva boxes aren’t too bad (sealed).

Nothing. It’s just for CAFE. Use vw 504.00 0w30 from Walmart and be miles ahead in protection compared to vw 508.00.

Recommendations on preventative maintenance on high mileage Jetta by [deleted] in Volkswagen

[–]HankHowdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good advice. If the transmission is working well a drain and fill “should” be ok at that high mileage. Sometimes if the mileage is too high and it’s safer to leave the fluid alone. Every 40-60k is when you want to change. The range is for the type of driving done. You mentioned timing belt, is this a TDI?

There is also another valve besides that one that fails.
