I get 37mpg city in my tdi, and the best mileage I ever got on my rabbit (2.5 mkv) was 32mpg with 15's and ultra low rolling resistance tires.

Been meaning to post an update on this little saga... Eventually decided to get the LH battery replaced about a month ago and has completely cured the electrical problems. The car feels like new again and I love it again.
Just done this and it works, TB had been off and cleaned, ran like sh*t when I put it back in until I did this.
Will be replacing all vac lines during my Ultimate delete, as well as installing a Powergasket.
I found a vac leak at the brake booster line. I fixed it, and now I am getting no codes at all. it says "EVAP OK" The reason I missed the leak at the brake booster line is because it can't be detected with a pressure test because of the check valve. I've driven 35 miles with no codes, so an entire year with a lean code is finally over, I hope!
I used the bigger passat 1.8t filters on my DD 2000 jetta with mobil 1 0w40 for over 100k in 4.5 years (135k total on vehicle) and when that car was totalled in a flood, the motor was tight and flawless...
One thing I've noticed with worn fuel pumps is they will still physically operate, but they won't put out the 70psi they're supposed to put out, or their flowrate decreases. In the case of my R32's pump, the flowrate and pressure were significantly decreased, and the load on the circuit was increased. Lots of resistance, overloaded the relay.
okay so i installed an alternator in my car yesterday, boosted it, let the battery charge a bit, removed jumpers...car stalled.
I had a 2009 GTI that I bought new, and had the intake manifold replaced 3 times within 50,000 miles. The first one was replaced at 500 Miles, again at 23,000 and again at 45,000 miles.
My 2012 GTI, with only 10.000 miles started leaking coolant, turns out the water pump is bad, it is now sitting at the dealer waiting for the part.
