2005 cdi questions
I recently bought a 2005 CDI and so far everything is great. I want to base line the car and change the fuel filter and oil filter. It looks like both Mahle and Hengst make fuel filter with a significant price difference. Has anyone opened both filers and checked out the differences (if any).
Any recommendations on Oil filter? It has a K&N should I clean it or replace with OEM
I have heard K&N can foul the MAF?
I would also like to base line the transmission with a 130K should I have it flushed as the stealer recommends? Would a fluid exchange I believe 15ish quarts and filter be better?
Something else to change is the material on the B-Pillar has some wear marks. Can anyone recommend a source new/replacement.
92* thermostat, engine seams to run a little cold
Little heater valve as heater blows cold air (nice DYI)
Something else, new OEM floor mats and could use guidance for all weather mats and a trunk mat.
I will do the majority of service myself but might be time constrained on the tranny service, any good Indies in the Seattle area? I cleaned the EGR and plan on doing the delete
