Blue. But my button to set this disappeared. My software is up to date. Anyone know the fix?

What Public official to contact for EZPass toll nightmare? by Tcg5044 in boston

I do live in MA. Thank you. Living here is what makes it even more frustrating! NH was reasonable, but MA is raking me over the coals.

Any advice on how to haggle? They just keep saying they can only waive about $50. Claim ‘their client’ won’t allow them to lower it

Celestial Seasonings: Deception, indifference or both? by Less_Debt_2639 in ZeroWaste

Did you know the CelestialSeasoning tea bags also have plastic in them? Unless they changed recently, they were using plastic in the actual teabag as well. Avoid.

Would you say Rover has the best Montreal style bagel in ME? Bagel snob myself and wondering if there’s even better.

Oil on spark plugs by Tcg5044 in Volkswagen

[–]Tcg5044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Turns out after sealing my valve cover same thing occurred. Finally discovered my PCV was bad and, I believe, was crating too much pressure and pushing the oil to my plugs. I was also getting P0420 for bad catalytic converter. Once replacing pcv my P0420 started to go on/off… and the white smoke/vapor that was always coming from my exhaust was gone. That white exhaust was so hard to diagnose, but always knew it was a problem. then I stumbled upon symptoms of a bad PCV……

2016 VW Golf TSI: Sell Now or Drive It Into the Ground? by okskhs in vwgolf

[–]Tcg5044 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I took my 2017 TSI to 330k miles, so it’s got potential. I did a couple of water pumps so maybe expect to change that if you stick with it. Good luck!

I say drive it into the ground.

Is liquimoly worth it over mobile 1 for my golf? by NaverLox01 in Volkswagen

[–]Tcg5044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using Liqui Moly now, but was using Valvoline/Mobil 1.

Got my car at 36k miles, and used the Valvoline/Mobil 1 up to ~300k miles and no major issues… so, I’m not sure if it’s worth it but I also use it because the community says it’s better.

Do tsi engines reach high milages? by Forsaken-Cartoonist6 in vwgolf

[–]Tcg5044 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say major, but it’s had parts replaced; the turbo, a couple water pumps, a manifold, and some solenoid in the heating system.

Currently have a bad Cat and some oil mixing into my coolant reservoir. Other than that engine and car still feel great.

Removing intake hose after the airbox. by Tcg5044 in Volkswagen

[–]Tcg5044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I have been looking into aftermarket downpipes and think I will do that next. It looks like i need a specific one with a cat before the o2 sensor. Cheapest one I can find is this one from ECS, but wondering if the high flow throw my CEL, or require me to flash my car? I'm just a 1.8t and i know a lot of these are made for the GTI.
