So, i found a meter and the Uro voltage regulator is charging correctly
And so, i shouldn't use a $6 Uro voltage regulator because it is no good and a
german Bosch regulator failed and cooked my battery?
I see there is a Hueco brand …. who is that?
says made in germany

I've gotten 53 mpg with the 2012 Passat - there's your improvement (not
much, but - -). The cars are heavier now so not as many people die in
crashes as they did in the '70's, hence even maintaining the fuel economy
is an improvement. Comparing a '70's car to one today is apples to oranges.

I'm about 1/2 way through my first tank on my wagon after adjusting the
injection pump timing. I'm hoping I will at least get back to 26-27 mpg

Good reminder, I've been working up tire pressure. Sidewall max is 51psi IIRC,
I tried 35 to start, then 38 for the trip. I'll put them to 40 for a week of
commuting and see how that goes.Need to chase all the fuel lines too. Once in
awhile I get a little wiff of raw diesel, a leak would be hard
I don't think an alignment is going to improve mileage too much, unless it
is so bad that your are really chewing up your tires. Can't hurt, but I
wouldn't think the improvement will be more than 3% or maybe 5%. Inflate
your tires to max sidewall pressure and keep your foot off the go pedal,

The Golf is smal though. Smaller than a 190D. My '85 190D got 43mpg on

what are the odds and alignment would help mileage? I think new calipers will

Gotcha.
The S500 coupe had a salvage title. Made it a lot cheaper, and I knew the
reason why, which helped.
I haven’t been scared by salvage titles, but you certainly have to do your due

I'm with Dan, Uro has a very bad reputation. If the voltage regulator
over-charges, that can kill your battery and maybe other electrical components
as well. Not worth the risk.
I'd use Bosch from junkyard before I'd use Uro.

I hate to pick nits, and one could certainly argue the economics of this, but I

TSP is probably the best bet, but won’t likely get all of it out since it’s

Muriatic acid won’t do much but etch the surface - the stain will still be

Then you can sell it as an expensive black stained concrete floor.
Put a sealer over it if you want it to shine too.
