    Picked up a TDI Cup Edition today.

    Yeah this thing really sticks, its a little stiffer ride with the GLI suspension, but its solid in the corners. It's go kart like in a way I guess but more pleasant lol. We have a kart track here that we went to for my bachelor party and another time with CAT, its a true racing coarse with...

    Curb weight is 3200lbs. It's fun to drive, really sticks to the corners and the GLI seats hold you in place.

    Got our New Fendt

    I Thinking it isn't fixable. Fendt does list a protective film in the parts catalog. Hopefully this one has it on and I just have to remove it.

    Got our New Fendt

    Cleaned up the inside too with some 1Z cockpit. Don't have a before picture though. Anybody have any good tips on cleaning touch screens? I use sprayway glass cleaner which meets the criteria of what Fendt wants you to clean it with but the issue I am having seems to actually be peoples...

    Got our New Fendt

    Had the Fendt and tanker both cleaned up for some service so I decided to try out the Opti-Coat on the Fendt to see how well it holds up. The paint is in pretty good shape but had enough scratches and such. . Apparently Fendt does not skimp on their paint either, they use a clear coat which is...

    No haven't put it on yet. Never seem to sync our schedules. I was originally as well but the summer tires don't offer good tread wear and with the miles she puts on I wanted decent wear. Otherwise I would've put some pilot super sports on.

    The transforces are a joke, no traction and no life. The Duelers are better, I used to run 695s on our trucks but now that we have a Fleet account with Michelin its tough to pass up the $50 lower price tag per tire on the AT/2s versus the Duelers along with an extra 20k of mileage. We would get...

    Strange noise

    I know our LML makes some odd deep grumbling sounds from time to time. Figured it was just part of the regen due to it closing the throttle valve and such.

    White smoke

    Some is normal, when the exhaust is new it is also caused by the oil burning off that they use to keep it from rusting during shipping and storage.

    The MS/2's do pretty good in the snow, nothing like the Blizzaks but decent for an all season tire.

    Thanks. I run Michelin X-Ice Xi3's on our cars. Part of it is because I'm a bit of a Michelin nut as many know, I put Michelin on almost everything at the farm, semis, pickups, tractors, skid steers, loaders etc etc. Having a national fleet account with them really helps on the pricing as...

    Still haven't gotten the plate on or any pics for you and the mileage has stayed down some which I'm still trying to get sorted out but I did get the snow tires on.

    Thick aluminum skid plate to replace the factory plastic splash sheild. TDI oil pan protection. I'll get some pics when I get it up on the lift, getting ready for snow right now though.

    Forgot to take one, gotta put it up on the lift again later this week for the snow tires and Panzer plate. I'll get one then.

    Turns out the Cat must have been plugged as the code has not returned. Yes there are different stages of tuning. I guess what i was actually hearing was the DMF chattering. Supposedly they have tuning that will fix this, I just don't feel like sending the ECM out again at this point. I doubt...

    It's not going to ruin it. This car is my wifes DD. Since we got it she has put 20,000 miles on it, she drives alot, very long commute and multiple jobs. generally 4000 per month or more.

    Well this thing rips.... Spins the tires in 2nd and slips the clutch if you roll into it in 3rd or 4th. Its fun to drive. Its actually pretty quiet still, no noise inside and outside you just hear the turbo whistling through the exhaust. Supposed to be around 300ft-lb of torque at the wheels.

    Bummed out, ECM didn't make the truck I guess and wont be here till monday. Got the rest of the parts I needed today though, so it sits and waits. I'll get a finished pic from under the car.
