Lock/adjustment:

I had this happen over a year ago-under warranty luckily. Took 2 weeks and a VW engineer to fix. They replaced the steering column and shipped my old one back to Germany. The car would start and then immediately shut off and give me the steering lock malfunction error.

Pros: fixed under warranty

Cons: took two weeks

Lucas › Oil additives

Response:

I decided to flush the engine any way first before I started the job and pulled the engine out. I put two bottles of car lube engine flush in the oil because of the amount of oil it holds (8.5l) and left the car ticking over for 45 min's wile I cleaned it. I took the car up on the ramp and drained engine oil and filter. Wow the oil come out black like a diesel. I decided to put new oil and filter in and run the car. I added Lucas additive run it up. I erased the fault code and took the car for a run. Omg the difference the car was like a rocket and no fault codes. Its been 7 days now and its like a different car.

Pros: car was like a rocket, no fault codes

Cons: oil come out black

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Mileage: 89000 km

DUNLOP › Tires

TrueValue 13 Feb 2005, 22:55

Rating 2.5

Noise:

Not much noise, but have seen an uneven wear pattern, even with periodic tire rotation. For my Passat, at least, the rear tire position begins to create a "finned edge" to the shoulders of the tire.

Pros: not much noise

Cons: uneven wear pattern

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat
