Re: VW to make announcement tomorrow
VW wants to break out of their traditional markets.......what were those, anyway?
1 -- Obviously, the Bug and to a lesser extent the Rabbit/Golf. That market is quite dead, imo. VW will keep the

Re: VW to make announcement tomorrow
The only thing I like about the new plan in ESP across the line. IMHO, five new models alon
the lines of what they have been putting out is not what will turn things around for VW in

Re: Tire pressure advice....
That sounds logical, but look at the numbers:
Adam is using the right tire (Agilis 51 205/65x15 tires, max 54PSI) and his sticker says 43/48 (front/rear) and nothing else. Is 43/48 for a light load

Re: Tire pressure advice....
Did the 1993 EV's come with 205 65x15 tires?
The two Vanagons I had in the late 1990's came with 195 ?X14 or 15's (?).
My '97EVC door sticker says 51 front and 45 rear.
It originally came with 205

Re: Tire pressure advice....
Ah, but there is a big difference in the 93 numbers vs Bob's label numbers
and that is that the higher pressure for the 93 is for the rear tires. That
means to me "max load."

Re: Tire pressure advice....
Agreed, the single set number is probably safe to use fully loaded, and adding a bit more psi won't hurt either.

Re: Muffler..er Wheel bearings?
I'd say it probably is a wheel bearing. I just had a front wheel bearing replaced on my '03 GLS with only 57K miles. Same symptoms as you describe. After replacement everything is back to normal.
