Steven Bell, thank you.
swoosh ,can't seem to catch up to you. Cars were built to be driven. I plan on driving this one to the ground....lol
Lukieluc, my windshield was installed by Dublin Glass telf. (973) 373 9474 .
If you are within range they will come to you. They do a perfect job every time.(They are the glass people, the Acura dealer in Springfield deals with ,when people can't afford the $700 OEM windshield. They do a good job every time.)
Mileage update: 145,132 miles

Recon_45,thank you. Congrats on your 96k,enjoy it .That's what its all about.
Almost forgot this shot (was hard to get it while driving)
At this point I had already traveled 75 miles on this tank. It got up to 403miles range but those shots are really blurry.

hahah nice....
when I was driving down to Texas....I averaged 33mpg and got around 480miles to the tank....I should have taken a shot when I filled her up
man, these cars are solid built...the engine is perfect....the transmissions has its share of issues but if you take care of it, its nice....has decent power....gas mileage is nice....what else could you ask for?

Steven Bell,BlackoutTL and swoosh thank you guys.
Wow 480 miles that's nice ,I wish. 450 miles in a tank here I come
WhatFurrer,thank you. The answer to your question is simple: find trip display press enter ,once in press the down botton. You should get the range(which is just an estimate from the computer not accurate at all).

CLtotheTL32,i think that VW is somewhat decent looking .

I boiled it down to Sams gas LOL
I have been monitoring my AFR....since my car is not tuned when I am below 75 and above 85 my AFR is on the lean side (14.9-15.2) which is good for gas mileage....
on the other hand, when am going between 75 and 85...my AFR gets rich (13.9-14.3) and hence lower gas mileage....
i need a tune BAD !!!

Steven Bell, too hot for me. I'm a 80's kind of guy.
swoosh, oil leaks around the area where the oil pump/ oil filter housing is. It's really hard to tell, i have used dye in the oil and still kind figure it out.
To me there is 3 main suspects:
-oil pump
-crank shaft seal
-oil filter housing gaskets
I have already changed and reseal the oil pan.
Just wondering if anyone has this problem?

Yea, me too! I'm getting too old for 100+ degree weather.
I need to move down to where Jeremy is-where it's even MORE humid than KC.

but yeah, I would get under there, spray some degreaser and wipe the area down....check every couple days to see where exactly the leak is coming from....I have seen a TL where the oil filter housing was leaking....we did not replace it but we wiped it down left it to see if it leaks again and so far no leaks....so maybe in your case its the same and some oil might have "splashed" while you were working on something else

Steven Bell, true that. For me anything above 80 is just too hot.
swoosh, yeah I'm suspecting the oil filter housing too. Just ordered one O-ring and 2 gaskets from the bottom picture(11,13,26).
all washed up
