October 2015 – Page 2 – Humble Mechanic

Hey everyone! We are back in action on the blog. I was fighting some issues with HostGator and some malware. Don’t worry, everything is fine, and no need to worry about getting a virus from the blog. The only think it really meant is no blog posts last week. All of the videos were still posted to YouTube. All the more reason to be sure you subscribe on the blog AND on sites like Facebook and YouTube. 😉

Sponsor of the Day
CRP deals in a ton of OE automotive parts. They also make the factory DSG fluid for VW. Having them as a sponsor will give us access to more information about fluids than I would ever get from VW. I am really excited to have them as a resource of information. To learn more about the great products they have, check out CRPAutomotive.com

Join me as I take your questions on:

The upcoming clock spring campaign
Modified Volkswagen and recalls
Leaking Volkswagen sunroofs
Costs for replacing TDI timing belts
Shutting car off during DPF regeneration
Letting the turbo cool down
Why the temperature gauge does not move
What do I think of Heieken?
and more

Ladies and gentlemen we have made it. 100 episodes of The Humble Mechanic Podcast. Today is also fitting because it is the first show from the GTI. On this podcast we look to the future of what HumbleMechanic.com can and will be. Some of the things I would love to see are simply a dream of mine.
