So I was fueling up at the local station, and of course all the pumps were gas except for two. As I’m pumping diesel in, two guys in a truck pull up on the other side. A guy gets out and puts his credit card in then I hear him say to the other guy, “Dammit I think it’s broken.” So the other guy gets out and looks at the pump. I guess he figures it’s definitely broken and tells him to look at the side I’m on. So then I hear, “Figures I think this guy is on the oth” and then he turn to me perplexed, “Wait….Are you using diesel?” Me - “I should hope so.” “Huh….What is that? HEY COME CHECK THIS OUT.” And the other guy comes around. Me- “It’s a Diesel Jetta.” Other guy - “Nice, what kind of mileage do you get?” Me- “I usually get around 500-600 miles to the tank.” Now these guys are really looking at the car and seem impressed (I’m glad I just waxed it). “That’s a really nice car.” Me- “Thanks.” I’m starting to feeling pumped up and cool, which is of course the sign for diesel to come pouring out of the tank as it’s overfilled. Me- “SONUVA!” Suitably deflated I go find some paper towels.

On the plus side I just ordered a filter pack kit from tdiparts.com. Everything went great with the order and I got email confirmation it was put in the mail the same day. I received the parts today which is just two days later. I’ll be ordering a new tie rod from them soon.
