Drove the Passat back home about 75 miles today and about 10 miles from home the steering wheel started getting jerky while driving straight and especially when letting off the accelerator. My CV axles are horribly worn with clinking and noise and now the jerkiness. Time to finally replace them so i don't get stuck at a rest area like I did with the Golf.
Maintenance soon:
CV Axles on both sides
Reset timing belt
Change alternator pulley diameter
Hook up Crankcase ventilation system
New spark plugs
Also read up about the Dustball Rally and think I might sign up for 2017 NYC to LA. 3K miles of fun in July-August 2017.
Car is down to 2800 pounds with me, a little less than a quarter tank and some stuff in the rear. Weight of car is down to 2660 with nothing in it.
385 pound weight loss so far. 115 to go!
