hydrolock is when water gets sucked into your engineby the air intake. water has to be pretty deep though, especially if the intake is factory spec.

That's lame. Were you the only person on that site with an Audi, or did they ban everyone else with one, too??

i was the only one that had one that didn't follow the vw is the better brand thinking....... you know how i am........


i was the president for a few months cause the old president decided to step down....... well no one else wanted to do it, so i said i would.... long story short, the asked "how can a guy who has an audi be president of the vw club?"

i said oh well........ then one of the guys sold me a non working xbox...... as you have seen i have a working one now..... and i don't let him forget he tried ripping me off....... you know me i am an *******...... or at least that is what they think

Yeah, because anyone that gets upset about being sold a non-functioning XBox by a "friend" is an *******.[>:]

And VW is definitely not the better brand.

On a side note, I was messing around on VW's website last night building out cars, and with the option packages they have set up you can't get a GTI or GLI with both a moonroof and leather - it has to be one or the other. How's that for better brand??

cause they don't want the leather to get wet when the moonroof malfunctions

I think it would be hard to hydrolock an audi with a stock intake -

When I had my civic, I was worried all the time because I had a CAI - and it was just right below the bottom of the bumper in front of the wheel.

OH well - Jeff thats weak about stlvw. Maybe you should tell them that the president of Fiat drives a ferrari - I think thats about a similar comparison, although the vw/audi/porsche incestual love fest is hard to understand.

Thats about it from me for 2 weeks Its maui time!
