If there's one thing International Sport Motors of San Francisco has encountered over the years, it's problems with Volkswagen's automatic transmissions. The reason Volkswagen's 'lifetime' automatic transmission fluid system sounds too good to be true is because it is. Although the modern synthetic fluid protects better and lasts longer than competing oils, it will not last forever. In fact, legally, the term 'lifetime fluid' refers only to the duration of the VW Powertrain Warranty. So when the warranty expires, you're out of luck.

Volkswagen, along with many other auto-manufacturers, knows that most owners don't keep their vehicles past 100,000 miles. The so-called 'lifetime' fluid is simply a marketing twist used to help sell cars that require 'minimal maintenance.' But after the 100,000 mile mark (when vehicles need real attention) most Volkswagen repair guarantees are null and void. That's why VW schedules a 105,000 mile timing belt change on 1.8T engines, and why most 'lifetime' guarantees are bogus.

If you intend to keep your car for a while, the cost of never-replaced ATF will terrify you. Left untouched for an entire 'lifetime' this fluid can cause serious damage to your filter and oil pans. Deposits of metallic shavings will build up on your filter and oil pan, and ultimately damage the transmission. The resultant repairs will be costly. So do yourself a favor. If you plan to keep your car around to see 150,000 or 200,000 miles, change your ATF yourself on a regular basis.

Although this task can be complicated, it's well worth the effort. Visit your local VW-Audi auto parts retailer (GermanAutoParts and ECStuning, among others) and purchase a VW-specific oil and filter kit. For both the 01M automatic transmission and the MK4, get the filter kit and ATF Pentosin G-052-162-A2. Do the same with manual transmission oil, and your car will keep running well into old age.

By the way, don't bother asking Volkswagen Service writers about these 'lifetime' loopholes. They'll insist that products like the ATF are 'sealed with lifetime' but that is only by corporate mandate. If you really want to keep your Volkswagen running smoothly, follow the advice above. Or, if you want to get the longest life and best performance out of your Volkswagen, do it yourself, or contact a Volkswagen repair shop that is willing to perform these kinds of preventative maintenance services for you. It's far more cost effective than replacing your entire transmission.

Ford: the Name Above All Names in Practicality and Durability

 

Ford leasing not only gives you the chance to get that power on the road but contentment born from the name itself. From the list of the worlds’ largest renowned car manufacturers Ford takes the 3rd rank when it comes to selling rate. And to top it off, they own another major vehicle brand name that bespoke quality.

 

Despite its loss and the necessity to give up their other acquired car brands, it has withstood the test of time. Founded and operated by the Ford family itself, it has continued to be one of the leading brands in the market having a saleable fleet. To maintain its status in the marketing field, they have come up with the Ford contract hire which gives access for those who want to use one but not willing to buy one. Their fleet ranges from the Ford Escort which has excelled during its time and the Ford Focus which continues to get the top selling scale.

 

Although the Ford GT is no longer available in the market, the following models are out for your assessment:

 

• Ford Focus and Fiesta ST with its forever orange trademark

• Ford Ranger that comes in a regular, super cab and double cab for those who love the pick up type of vehicle

• Ford Galaxy and Ford S Max are 7-seater vans which are just perfect for family outings

• Ford Mondeo ranges from 4–5 doors and an estate that is suitable for the executives on the go

• Ford New Kuga is a 5-door van type that is just ideal when you want a night out with friends

• Ford C-Max and Ford Fusion are both 5-door vans that are spacious enough to bring loads of picnic gears for that perfect bonding experience

• Ford Focus can be both an executive and small family vehicle that’s absolutely ideal for short distance traveling

• New Focus Coupe-Cabriole is a 2-door convertible car that will complete your romantic date

• Ford Fiesta and Ford Ka can ensconced you and your family for that long awaited joy ride on weekends and vacations

 

Why look for something else? When you want to be practical with your decision, Ford contract hire and Ford leasing has the perfect solution for you.

Frog Follies filling up fairgrounds | PHOTOS
A hush fell over the Vanderburgh County 4-H Fairgrounds, crowded Friday afternoon with thousands of street rods with noisy, high-octane engines in town for the 36th annual Frog Follies Street Rod Show, as a hearse wound its way through the grounds.
