What did you do for your Volkswagen today?

Wow! Hell of a pothole!

Wow! Hell of a pothole!

the engine failure was actually unrelated, it had made odd sounds during cold starts a few days leading up to it, and it drove home fine on the flat. it was oddly coincidental though and poor timing.

missoula VW is awesome, these guys drop of a fixed car (gti with a new engine for free) to helena and pick up the other, the Passat went in to get an oil change and investigate a camshaft position sensor ($35 part thats been acting up) turns out the passat is now getting all of the dreadful 3.6 vr6 things fixed. (oil pump and bolts, chains, tensioners, even camshafts). why i say their awesome is the customer service is unbelievable, and they even got VW to foot most of the bill even though the car is over on time for the engine warranty by almost 3 years. they agreed that i pay 1k and VW will be paying somewhere around 2k.

LOL, and i promise guys, i'm not hard on my cars, i swear, i take care of them, the GTI and 3.6L Vr6 are both known to have their faults. i'm just unlucky this month and when it rains it pours.

Swapped back over to summer wheels and put the OEs/snows in the crawlspace, never to be seen again. Hopefully that was the last winter the Jetta will see.
