I'm back from my trip. Battery has been disconnected since Monday AM, now Saturday. Meter said 12.59v. I hooked up battery tender and it read 12.59. I don't have it plugged in to charge. Since the BT has a wifi meter to transmit the battery data and it is powered by the battery, not AC, I'm...
Hey Bob,
I have it on a timer because I’m now old and don’t like things like old car batteries charging overnight lol. I didn’t think to check it when disconnected but will. Good call on the ground.
It doesn’t go off when I hook up a battery, though. I forgot it had one until this happened!
I didn’t think to check the interior light. I was yanked out of sleep as the other half thought someone was messing with the car in the driveway. I’ll hook it back up and check for that.
The last time it did happen months ago, i thought the spare remote was the source because when I hit...

Mine is mostly stock too. Put FTVB in it in the early days and shackles and that was mostly it. Put a K&N cold air in it maybe 6 years ago. Recently replaced the cruise control buttons as the plastic broke and fixed the cup holder with a riveter.
Oh new bed cover too.
Other than that, she...
Agree. I guess the 3rd+ owners that have L's aren't the enthusiast type. Mine is mostly a garage queen but looks nice with the recent ceramic coating I put on her!
So I decided to hit up some forums looking to see what everyone is doing for tires. Instead of tire chats, I found all the forums are dead. SVTP seems to be the most active and even that's a stretch. I have no idea how many of these trucks are still around, but it's been almost 20 years since...
2003 DSG 51k original owner. Mostly stock with K&N, shifter, Stinger. Sits in the garage. Latest mod was a Battery Tender.
If I knew the answer to this question, I'd have more room in my garage.
So yeah, I got a new clutch put in while the transmission was dropped for the broken retainer. Stock kit, Ford racing t/o bearing, resurfaced PP.
The clutch will chatter right at the point of engagement. Not really noticeable on the street, but very pronounced when I am backing into the...
