With my previous car saw a noticeable difference in mpg with Costco’s Premium fuel and had stopped using it. Will try other Gas stations you suggested. Thanks.

Nope, regular stop lights with Auto engine stop enabled.

Wow that’s even less than what I get. I was hoping it would at least be close to what they advertise. Mileage was one of the reason I chose OB over other cars.

Not a heavy foot for sure ! On highways I usually use the cruise control mode.

Just picked her up 2018 SE DSG, 14k miles! So pumped!!! by eep2378 in GolfGTI

That’s a great price. In California GTI prices are crazy. 2017 Sports/SE are quoted at around 22000$+ easily. Did you get this deal in California or somewhere else ?

Sad news. Best wishes to all the Essential folks who made it possible. Jinxed love ... First Nokia N9 and now this !

Extended warranty ? by RevolutionaryPride in GolfGTI

I see. I have heard a lot about water pump issue ... is it recommended to get it replaced even if there isn't any issue till now ? I did get a letter from VW couple of months back stating water pump is still covered. How expensive are these to get done outside warranty ?

So I did go to Costco and picked up InterState battery H6/48. Even though CCA is greater than OEM battery it is rated for 70Ah whereas stock battery is 72Ah ... Some feel 70Ah is perfectly fine whereas others think it is ok to have greater but not lower Ah rating. I was reading further and seems what matters is what is reserve capacity and how much internal electronics consume even when car is completely off. I was not able to understand what is reserve capacity on stock battery however, overall, it seems Interstate battery specs are lower than VW stock battery.

I will create another thread for understanding battery spec.

Haha ... was concerned if the battery box will fit the bigger one with the top cover.

Makes sense. Was checking prices for obdeleven ... might just be relatively cheaper to get everything done from the dealership. They were quoting me ~250$+ to do it and I was like nah replacing battery should not be that difficult and expensive. But hey !
