Has anyone ever towed their B5 behind an RV? Looking for options. Ideally, we'd find some kind of "attach to the front of the car" solution. We have a 30 foot Winnebago with a class IV hitch on it, and would like to tow our '02 Passat Wagon 1.8t. I know car dollies are simple, but it's seems...

Hey Guys, Yesterday on my way to work I smelt burning coolant...At first i thought it was simply left over because of the oil change I had done the night before, since i removed the coolant reservoir to change the filter, inevitably some spilled down into the engine block. Unfortunately it...

Got my 4motion towed last night and I can't think of any way to figure out if they really put the whole car up on a dolly like they said they did or if they just dragged it by 2 wheels. It was only towed for about a mile or two. Would I be able to notice something wrong already if they towed...

Okay here is the deal. I have an 04 GLS that I purchased at 24,000. It was in good shape but had no history. I have treated it like a baby and am currently at 53,000. I give it full synthetic oil at changes and am always on time. The car had to be transported to my mechanic as I was afraid to...

One of my customers is one of these crappy buy-here-pay-here used car lots. The called and had me go grab a car down in Branson for what was essentially a voluntary repo. The car struck me as so bizarre, and I've always liked weird things in general, especially cars. Especially cars similar...

If so, how did it go? Im considering the idea of getting a small covered trailer from uhaul to help with my move from Atlanta to Phoenix. Im just worried about overworking the engine. Luckily most of the trip (other than N. Mexico) should be mostly flat. Anythoughts??
