Thanks for the info...I have to go in Wednesday so they can fix my squeeling brake problem in both the front and back (they had to order parts) so im going to address all these newer problems then. Im very happy with the car, it just has a lot of small problems that bug the hell out of me. My drivers door and sunroof squeek when they open too. Its kind of annoying, but Im not sure if thats covered under the warranty. I hate to be a PITA when I go in there and say "okay, the car is doing this, this and this, its not doing this when it should be, and it made this noise once" but it is under factory warranty for another 8K or so miles, so I want to get this stuff fixed before its up. I have an extended warranty, but im not sure if it covers as much as the factory warranty.
I do have a question about turbo timers and boost gauges though. Please excuse my noobness to the GLI, but when it comes to aftermarket gauges, Ive always loved Autometer. I used to have a 3 gauge pillar pod in my MX6, and I dont want to go that route again, especially having an A-pillar airbag in the GLI. What are my options for mounting a 2-1/16" boost gauge, making it look as stock as possible? Ive seen the single pods that go on top of the steering column in front of the stock gauge cluster, but it looks like it gets in the way of viewing the other gauges or the information screen. Id like to keep away from that.
Also, what gauge does everyone recommend that will match my stock gauges best, both day and night time lighting? Preferably Autometer, or a gauge just as good as Autometer.
As far as turbo timers, ive heard that we don't need one in our cars, yet people install them all the time, and some say we do. So which is it? Is it pointless to have one in a stock GLI anyway? I wont be doing anything to this car that will void the warranty, but I may chip it eventually.
Which turbo timer matches our lighting at night the best? (either red or blue) I heard that the GReddy Autotimer matches perfectly.
Ive seen people install a turbo timer in the right or left hand slot on either side of the Hazard switch just above the stereo, and this seems to be the most stock looking. Is this hard to do? Do they make a mount for this, or is it entirely custom?
Thanks for the info, I just hate to make another thread for all my questions, and by the way, I love the color of your Jetta GLIgirl, it looks clean.
