    Thoughts on VW's FSI and TSI Engines

    If you to be an auto mechanic, then you should buy a VW. I have good friend that bought a brand new 2011 Audi A4, at 10k started burning a quart oil every 1k. By 18k it was using a quart every 600 miles. The Audi dealer replaced the engine at 20k.

    How long do thermostats last?

    I do have scangauge. The temp never rises over 200F degrees. Also no faults code. Like I said before if the temp falls down to 10f degrees and blow it takes about 7 miles of driving before it gets start getting hot. It used to take about 2 miles before it got hot. At least it's not overheating...
