Saturday, I checked volume. Low fuel light came on around 298. Ran out at 357. Put in a gallon. Drove 12 miles to the gas station. Filled up with 13.2 gallons. Thus, while volume is stated as 14.5, it is more like 13.5-13.7.
oh wait, are you looking at snow tires or something?
Anyway, it sounds like electrical gremlins
On the same topic, I did see the "valve" inside the gas tank of my 1.8T. I am afraid to "vent" the tank though, because I am carrying gas and not diesel fuel, which expands more with heat.
Vocus: I agree, venting gas would be a bad idea.
Sumitomo was the parent company which made Dunlop tires. After Sumitomo bought Dunlop, a few years later I think Goodyear bought Sumitomo.
I had the HTR something, but it was a summer tire, not an all season.
That doesn't happen much with our Jetta, because we don't fill the tank any more except when going on a long trip because it leaks about 2/3 of the way up the tank somewhere. Usually just buy a 1/2 tank at a time. I am guessing VW screwed up when they replaced defective fuel pump a while ago.
I also appreciate the advice on the tires. The Michelin Pilots my car came with are $200+ each, so I definitely am not going that route! Also, the Sumitomos actually rate better than the Pilots do! For half the price!
One is that the tank has a leak. It drips, not spews gas into the driveway. We never fill it past half way.
The second is cheap pumps which don't shut off properly and spray you with gas. I hate it when that happens! :-)
It hasn't been a problem so far as much as an inconvenience.
There aren't any other dealers in the area.
AVOID PATRICK SAAB/VW IN AUBURN, MA AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!
until my next coil blows, i should be good to go!
I have heard Colonial is really good BTW, you might want to try them out. They are right on Route 9 westbound.
Westboro, maybe, but that is about the limit. I didn't know about them. Maybe I'll give them a call.
Thanks.
everyone is either out driving their Jettas, or every single one of them is in the shop for something!
Please note that this post in no way endorses the Cavalier. Why? Because its awful.
Am I the only one who HASN'T has a coilpack go south? Is it more common on AWP 180HP motors or what?
Mine is a late '01 AWW, so maybe I got lucky (jinx).
BTW, Upsoluted and Forge DV really wake the AWW up. Evo CAI coming soon.
My car, other than 3 window regs, has been extremely dependable. Not even any creaks/rattles.

and i would take a Camry, a 10 year old one even, over an Impala. my Mom likes the Impala though....she always prefers "get up and go" over refinement/reliability/style/safety.
The Impala has actually been pretty reliable as far as American makes go. And if your mom likes get-up-and-go, she needn't look at an Impala. Not the base 3400 V6 one anyway...
when I get out of a vehicle and touch the metal door frame, I usually get a shock - some are pretty good, with a visible spark.
I do notice this more with cloth seats. I am not sure if I have had a shock yet with leather.
then, i said my Mom would take a new Impala over even a new Camry. because she only wants to feel like she can press the go pedal a little bit and have the car GO. she doesn't value refinement, safety, etc as much. i am talking comparably priced cars of course. sure, she could get a V6 in the Camry, but then she would pay over $25k, and you can get an Impala with V6 for under $18k. music to her ears
of course a new Impala SHOULD be safer than a 10 year old Camry. not sure though...
people get SOOOO defensive! makes you wonder...
