They're terribly jealous too.. If I put the hood up on one of the other vehicles, even just to check the oil, the Rabbit decides it need to break something so it get's it's hood opened too... If I'm doing actual work to one of the others it has a complete meltdown...
The trick is to park your cars in an area that they can't see the work area. I keep my fleet out front of the shop and work on one at a time inside. For me I find that my cars are very jealous. Once I start working on them they just beg for attention. "Hey look, my coolant is leaking. Hey now my shifter linkage is broken. I'm low on oil..."
rabbit diesels are like the frikkin ginger kids of the vw world. They can be meaner than the MEANEST girlfriend you EVERRRRRR had.
I do know that I drive torque, while listening to my friends prattle on about horsepower.
Admit it Catlin, you just like playing with gasholes
this is actually true to a point.when it was getting cold this winter, my audi would be a real pain in the ass to start. so, after a few futile attempts to fire it, i would just go over to my rabbit, fire it up and let it idle next to my audi. it never fails, after i fire the rabbit up next to it, it fires up on the next attempt. EVERY TIME...seems like the audi is just kinda lazy at first, but then you threaten to drive the rabbit instead, and it rattles & smokes to life.
