Second -- I always drove with the speedometer registering between 65 and 70. After having a coworker tell me that he could never catch up to me on the interstate, I had the same coworker pace beside me on I-85 and was astonished to find out that if my pickup said 70mph, his corolla said 80mph.

If you have a belt with the incorrect angled "V", it will fail in short time. The belt shouldn't be crazy tight. Do you have A/C, or none?

I hope you guys who are going long intervals are doing an oil analysis. This is the only way to know how long you can go between changes. There is no depute on this, this is no opinion, and no guessing. If you care about your diesel, your sending off a sample.

Are you the one on Craigslist asking about a VW mechanic in the area?

I guess the first thing is....How are you coming to the conclusion that it is "bad"?

As for the tank: Hmm. That's strange. I've never seen/heard about that before. It happened on mine. I had to pull the tank and "re-inflate" it. When crushed in, it removed about 5 gals of volume. I ended up bypassing the valve...(I don't plan on flipping the car over). Make sure the vent ...

Why? Take it back.

You bought them from NAPA...Which means you paid a whole lot for run of the mill parts. At least give them the opportunity to sell you the correct part.
