Why Bike?
What a silly question! Biking is FUN! It's the joy of physical exertion. It's the open road ahead of you. It's the wind in your face. It's being connected to nature again. It's the excitement of a road trip. It's sharing an afternoon with your family. It's getting away from television and video games. It's seeing all those little things - even in your own neighborhood - that you never see from a car. It's being a kid again without your mom telling you how far you can go and when you have to be home!
They say once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget. That's absolutely true - the only thing you've really forgotten is how much fun it was!
But enough of the selfish reasons for riding; here are a few things you can tell your friends to impress them with how sensible and civic-minded you are every time you get on your bike:
"I'm Saving On Gas"
This might be the best reason for everybody to take up biking. While the price of a gallon may flutter downward once in a while, the era of cheap gas is gone forever and the rest of the world already knows it. Biking to get groceries, for family recreation or to get to your job can seriously help your budget. And it's the best way to strike back at the oil industry!
"I'm Saving the Planet"
Take a look out your car window. What do you see? Lots of other cars. Each engine pushing two tons of steel around to deliver one 150 pound human to one destination. And then back again. This incredible inefficiency is burning energy at an unsustainable rate, and most of the energy we consume is coming from overseas. Not only that, the resulting pollution is driving climate change that could alter our lives dramatically (and not for the better). Every mile you don't drive is a mile closer to achieving energy security for our country, not to mention a cleaner and more stable environment for your children and grandchildren.
"I'm Losing Weight"
Been thinking about taking off a couple of pounds? Or getting back in shape? There's no better way to knock off weight and get fit than biking! It's fun, it doesn't take a lot of intensive work, you can do it on your own schedule and you can combine it with lots of other practical activities. Personally, I lost 12 pounds in three months after I got my new recumbent, and I wasn't even trying.
How This Site Can Help
If you want to get into active riding, serious recreational riding, utility biking, bike commuting or even go car-free, this site can help. Our mission is to get you spending more time on your bike and less time in your car. We've tried to anticipate and answer the most basic questions you'll have on your path to more serious biking and we've assembled a huge library of on-line resources to help you with more advanced questions and problems.
Of particular value are the many on-line bike forums, where you can "lurk" and read the discussions among other bikers on topics of interest to you or sign up (free) and submit questions and participate in discussion threads yourself. Be careful, though - it can be addictive!
Of course, there are many things you won't find here, since we can't be all things to all people. You won't find BMX, road racing, cyclocross, velomobiles, frame building, randonneering, track cycling or triathlon. However, you can find all of these and more at the above mentioned forums.
Feel free to contact us with your ideas, photos of your biking adventures, corrections of our errors or even inspire others with your own story of how biking has changed your life. Above all, make productive use of this site and ride, ride ride!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Students and staff at one CMS school are celebrating a big milestone.
Grand Oak Elementary held a dedication ceremony Tuesday morning. The school opened its doors this school year and relieves nearby Torrence Creek Elementary, a facility that was once overcrowded.
Grand Oak was built with money from a 2007 bond referendum and is now home to 600 kindergarden through 5th graders.
Both staff and students say it's exciting to be part of new school.
According to principal Ray Giovanelli, "The opportunity to rally created vision of what you want to accomplish and then try to work toward that vision is always exciting for a leader. And now we're at the point where that success is here and we need to build upon that and see what we can do with it."

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful, customizable, great customer service
Floral Ornament Wedding Favor Tags I used these for my daughter's baptism celebration. The tags turned out exactly how I ordered them. Paper, color, font, all as I expected and done beautifully. I'm a perfectionist and I am Very satisfied. I would have wanted to have a larger print size for the name but in the computer it would not allow a larger text in the space but there was room on the tag. I'm sure if I had requested it they would have accommodated but I needed them ASAP so I did not do so. Also, I required more than the 25 I initially ordered and customer service answered quickly and were able to add more to my order. In fact when the tags arrived there were extra tags. That was great, I used them for other items.
Lovely presentation
Floral Ornament Rectangle Invitations Of course it's exciting to get your invitations but it was made even better by Magnet Street's thoughtful presentation. The charming blue box with helpful hints in addition to the invites were a pleasant surprise. And with the generous discount code, this was the best price for wedding paper I found for the quality it offered!
Loved my Invitations
Vintage Applique Foldover Pockets I loved the invitations (in color combo of carnation and Ivory) once I received the final product in the mail and I must say the pearl paper complimented the design perfectly. I'm very excited to mail out the invites and I know that everyone is going to think they are beautiful! My only wish is that the design center was a little bit easier to navigate (maybe it is just me being computer illiterate!) so that I could make changes and tweak the text and sizing on my own without having to go through the proofing process several times. However, the designers who work on the personalization and proofing of your invitations are SO helpful, that I feel like I shouldn't complain! Thank you Magnet street!
Too cute!
Floral Ornament Wedding Favor Tags Turned out very cute at will add a nice touch to our wedding favors. Perfect size and I love the design.
tea length programs
Floral Ornament Tea-length Programs Very happy! I'm not computer savvy, but making these programs was super easy. The outcome was beautiful. They look classy and the quality is great. I'm glad I could easily check another "to do" off my list.

Here are some reasons why I shouldn't be writing a column about Robert McNamara: 1) Never spoke with him; never saw him in the flesh. 2) Haven't read his pivotal 1995 book, "In Retrospect." 3) Joined the Army after McNamara had left the Pentagon.
But consider also: 1) Father worked for the Office of the Secretary of Defense throughout McNamara's tenure. 2) Father-in-law, stationed at the Pentagon, retired from the Army while McNamara was secretary. 3) Was sent to Vietnam, where fellow photographers got waxed in a war that McNamara had decided was unwinnable. 4) Once spent the night in McNamara's house.
"Vietnam War architect" was the gist of many a headline attempting to summarize McNamara's place in the grand scheme of things upon his recent death. But what elevated his story to the level of tragedy was his almost desperate effort to confront what had gone wrong in the U.S. decision to wage that war and to publicly account for his own failings.
How agonizing this exercise must have been -- because he felt compelled not only to confess terrible misjudgments but to acknowledge he had harbored his doubts at a time when, if he had spoken out publicly, perhaps the course of history might have been changed. Here is something McNamara had to live with: Of the approximately 58,000 Americans who lost their lives in the Vietnam conflict, 42,000 died after he left his post as secretary of defense in 1967.
He departed at the behest of President Lyndon Johnson, to whom McNamara had sent a lengthy memo saying that it was time to negotiate a peace, that the war had become too much for the country to bear, that Americans wanted it stopped. Soon, he was out -- dispatched to run the World Bank. Not until McNamara published "In Retrospect" did the public come to understand where he had stood as the war gathered such dreadful momentum.
My father, an electrical engineer by training and six years McNamara's senior, had been at DoD since its inception and had seen many secretaries arrive fully convinced that they at last could run the place like it needed to be run. The McNamara "whiz kids" and their vaunted systems analysis occasioned plenty of eye-rolling among my father and his colleagues.
Still, my father's responsibility -- working to get all the armed services to use the same kinds of electronic components, toward the goal of cost-efficiency -- was in keeping with McNamara's cold-eyed management approach. And on the war, not that my father was involved in any of those deliberations, he was as skeptical as the boss turned out to have been.
So was my father-in-law, who had retired from a staff post with the Joint Chiefs of Staff not long after McNamara took office at the outset of the Kennedy administration. The preoccupation then was the perilous nuclear face-off with the Soviets, and McNamara shares credit for helping lead this country through a time when cataclysmic nuclear war was a constant risk. But then the Cold War flared into bloodshed in the paddies and jungles of Vietnam, a venture my father-in-law came to regard as misguided and futile.
McNamara ascribed the debacle to an American failure to understand our opponents, the communist North Vietnamese, and to our overestimation of the threat they posed to U.S. security if they succeeded in conquering our allies in the South.
Such an estimate of course had to take into account Soviet and Chinese aspirations in Southeast Asia, so far as they could be gauged. But as history has shown, a unified communist Vietnam has proved to be something the United States can live with, even if much suffering ensued, and no further dominoes have fallen. Not to say that our defense of democracy in South Vietnam didn't have a noble ring to it and might not have been a useful demonstration of U.S. resolve.
Perhaps I'd have been able to discuss some of these matters with McNamara himself if he had been at home the night of Aug. 8, 1974.
It was the night Richard Nixon told the nation he was resigning from the presidency. I was working as a reporter for the Trenton (N.J.) Times, recently acquired by The Washington Post and thus extra-attuned to the Watergate drama. I and a colleague, novelist-to-be John Katzenbach, sold our editors on the idea of going down to the capital to see what we could add to the coverage mix.
Katzenbach's family knew the McNamaras -- his father, Nicholas Katzenbach, had been attorney general. So John arranged for us to mooch a night's lodging at the McNamara place. I arrived by cab after Nixon gave his resignation speech. I had watched the speech on TV at the Watergate Hotel and gathered some string for a story.
The McNamara home, not far from Dupont Circle, was suitably elegant, with décor that as I recall tended toward the Asian. We found a couple of typewriters and wrote our stories at the kitchen table, then phoned them in. Except for the housekeeper, we were alone. If Robert S. McNamara had been on hand that night, maybe I would have wound up with a real scoop!

There are a couple of ways to look at the Canucks 4-3 win over the Blackhawks on Friday night. On one hand, the Blackhawks finally found a way to get pucks past Roberto Luongo. Ben Smith and Viktor Stalberg scored on Luongo, and they weren't great goals. If the Blackhawks can get goals from their depth players on a regular basis, they will climb back in this series. Another way to look at it is that the Canucks were able to win game when they let the likes of Ben Smith and Viktor Stalberg score and get an average game from Roberto Luongo.

The Papers of Abraham Lincoln is a long-term project dedicated to identifying, imaging, transcribing, annotating, and publishing all documents written by or to Abraham Lincoln during his entire lifetime (1809-1865).
Papers of Abraham Lincoln finds political motive behind cryptic note with missing section
March 8, 2014
SPRINGFIELD – The note is scrawled in Abraham Lincoln's distinctive hand and carries his signature, but little else is clear. When was it written and to whom? What are the views that Lincoln wants to know more about? And, above all, why was a key name cut out of the note?
Historians at the Papers of Abraham Lincoln believe they've solved the riddle of this new Lincoln document. It was a note asking one of Lincoln's allies to maintain a secret relationship with a notorious political insider during the election of 1860.
Manuscript dealer David Lowenherz of Lion Heart Autographs, Inc., in New York City recently contacted the Papers of Abraham Lincoln about the document, which says:
My dear Sir,
I thank you for the copy of [clipped section] If you can keep up a correspondence with him without much effort, it will be well enough. I like to know his views occasionally.
Yours in haste
A Lincoln

The causes of stress are different for everyone but no one will argue that divorce is one of them. Whether you have chosen to divorce, or are being left by your spouse, your emotions will range from hurt, anger, fear, sadness, resentment and guilt, to mention just a few.
Divorce is a monumental change in your life. It is natural to worry about where you will live, your finances, your children, & your career. Questions such as how you will find a job if you are moving, how you will juggle your job without the help of your spouse, how you will re-enter the job market are all common place. What will happen to friendships with mutual friends or how to find love again are equally natural concerns.
And in the midst of this emotional turmoil and the stressors of an already busy life, is an unfamiliar, time consuming project called "DIVORCE". You already can't imagine being able to navigate your day to day tasks without being overcome by emotions that will interfere with your job and your children's lives. You need an empathetic ear and a helping hand.
Enlist the help and support of a non-critical and non- judgmental friend or relative. If you don't have someone who fits the bill, and depending on your beliefs and finances, use a professional, go to a support group or talk to a cleric.
And don't you be critical of yourself.
At a later part of the divorce journey, when you are further removed from your initial emotions you should consider examining what problems you brought to the relationship and what you can do differently in future relationships with friends, family and potential partners.
You are entitled to have fun….and if you are reading this as you begin the divorce process, you can not image that divorce will and does bring unimagined opportunities, new friendships, and positive shifts in relationships. Great growth and personal development can come from the divorce experience. And although no one goes into a marriage hoping for a divorce, this like many of life's unexpected transitions, can have a silver lining.
"Divorce Information Now" is an ongoing column. Readers are encouraged to submit questions about divorce in the comment stream and we will respond in subsequent blogs. Find us at http://www.divorceinformationnow.com/ "
In order to develop DIVORCE Information NOW products and services we worked with lawyers, financial advisors, accountants, therapists as well as people who have been through the divorce process.

The Americans started quickly and then got sloppy on offense, resulting in several easy scoring opportunities for the Costa Ricans. Unfortunately for them, starting Goalkeeper Sophie Fasold brought her "A" game and was brilliant. She stopped several breakaways and personally allowed the Americans to build a modest lead which they never came close to surrendering. The half time score was a comfortable 14-7, leading the coaching staff to challenge the Americans to win the second half independent of the first. They did, 16-6, as Fasold again played well, as did Freja Dobreff who relieved her mid-half.
Head Coach Christian Latulippe was happy with the win, blemishes and all, stating, "This was a good first step in the development of our new National Team Program. Costa Rica is not Brazil or Argentina, but it is always good to win in international competition. The players will become more confident with the successes they had tonight. I view this as a small step down the road to becoming a legitimate power in our hemisphere."

MSHA says inspections have improved mine safety
CHARLESTON (AP) — Federal mine safety regulators say violations are down since monthly impact inspections of mining operations began in 2010.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration said Thursday that total violations per 100 on-site inspection hours fell 15 percent in coal mines and 13 percent in metal/nonmetal mines from April 2010 through December 2012.
Significant and substantial violations declined 19 percent in coal mines and 33 percent in metal/nonmetal mines.
But MSHA director Joe Main says some mine operators still haven't gotten the message.
The agency issued 245 citations at nine coal mines and six metal/nonmetal mines during the latest round of inspections in January.
The inspections began after an April 2010 explosion killed 29 coal miners at the Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia.
Mine operation believed to be source of loud boom
CHARLESTON (AP) — State regulators believe they've solved the mystery of a loud noise heard across Kanawha County earlier this week.
Department of Environmental Protection Office of Explosives and Blasting chief Dave Vande Linde says the Tuesday evening blast occurred the same time a mining operation used a controlled explosion to extract coal.
Vande Linde tells media outlets the blast occurred at Kingston Industries' Rush Creek No. 2 Mine south of Charleston. The mine is owned by Revelation Energy of Pikeville, Ky.
Vande Linde says the noise produced by the blast was within state legal limits, but weather conditions may have caused the sound to carry a longer distance.
Government revisiting $24 million router deal
CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia officials are reconsidering where to install high-capacity Internet routers purchased with federal stimulus funds after audits blistered the $24 million deal.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin on Thursday announced a 30-day review of the schools, libraries and other community institutions slated to host these routers.
Among other concerns, legislative auditors slammed the buying of Cisco routers for anchor sites that would never need their capacity. Five are within a half-mile of each other in Clay County where less than 500 people live. And while a Kanawha County public library located in a single-wide trailer got a router, an area high school with more than 1,200 students did not.
Tomblin also said Cisco has agreed to exchange unneeded routers while extending all warranties by three years.

BOISE-- The Boise Hawks ended a six game losing streak on Friday thanks to a Rafael Lopez single to center field to give the Hawks a 3-2 win in the tenth inning over Yakima.
The Hawks gave up a Bear run in the seventh inning to tie the game at two runs apiece. The game remained tied at the end on nine, forcing an extra inning. The Bears threatened in the top half of the inning with a runner on third with just one out. But Hawks pitcher Bryce Shafer was up to the task, striking out two Yakima batters to end the threat.
The Hawks countered with a runner of their own on third with two outs. Lopez was able to ground a ball up the middle and scored Zeke DeVoss to win in walk off fashion.
The Hawks will host the Bears again on Saturday night.

I'm kind of sick of the beaching about "guys wearing sequin jumpsuits" in figure skating, as I don't see a lot of that anymore. Even if there was a lot of that, nothing wrong with it. There's room for all I think.

Bill Cowher retires as Steelers Coach, his replacement is named...
PITTSBURGH (Jan. 22, 2007) -- Mike Tomlin, the Minnesota Vikings' defensive coordinator, was hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers -- the first black head coach in the team's 74-year history.
He accepted the job Jan. 21 and the hiring was announced Jan. 22, with Tomlin expected to make about $2.5 million a year under a four-year contract. He is the Steelers' third coach in 38 years, following Chuck Noll (23 seasons) and Bill Cowher (15 seasons).
Tomlin, an NFL coordinator for only one season, acknowledged it was difficult not to be overwhelmed with the opportunity to coach what he called "one of the storied franchises in sports."
"I'm still coming to grips with what that means," said Tomlin, who, like Cowher in 1992, will be about the same age as some of his players. "But I am what I am as coach -- I don't call myself a 34-year-old coach or an experienced coach, I'm a football coach."
The Vikings had the NFL's top run defense under Mike Tomlin in 2006.
The Vikings had the NFL's top run defense under Mike Tomlin in 2006.
Tomlin was chosen by the Steelers on the same day two black coaches made the Super Bowl for the first time: Lovie Smith in Chicago and Tony Dungy in Indianapolis. Tomlin was once an assistant under Dungy at Tampa Bay, and he got the call from Steelers president Art Rooney II while watching the NFL conference championship games.
"He's a good coach, a great communicator and now he'll have a chance to show what he can do," Dungy said.
Tomlin also might have benefited from the NFL's so-called Rooney Rule. Steelers owner Dan Rooney successfully lobbied in 2002 for a rule that requires all NFL teams to interview minority candidates for coaching jobs.
After a successful first season as Minnesota's defensive coordinator, Tomlin's name was one of about a dozen on a list of qualified minority candidates given Rooney at a mid-December meeting in New York. Rooney is the chairman of the NFL's committee on workplace diversity.
The intent of the Rooney Rule was to give coaches such as Tomlin a forum to display their credentials. Tomlin was chosen largely because of the motivation, enthusiasm and organizational skills he showed in two strong interviews with Rooney, Art Rooney II and director of football operations Kevin Colbert.
"He wants to play the kind of football the Pittsburgh Steelers want to play," Art Rooney II said of Tomlin's focus on stopping the run, running the ball well and playing physical defense. "He wants to play the kind of football Steelers fans have come to appreciate."
Tomlin's hiring completed a 2 1/2-week search in which he initially was considered an unlikely choice behind perceived front-runners Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm, but Whisenhunt later accepted the Arizona Cardinals' job.
Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, the other finalist with Grimm and Tomlin, did not get a second interview because the Steelers would have had to wait until Feb. 5 to meet with him again. Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey, recommended by Cowher, also didn't get a second interview.
Tomlin will be the fourth consecutive Steelers coach who was a defensive assistant coach in his 30s with another team before being hired. Bill Austin was 37 when he was chosen in 1966, as was Chuck Noll in 1969. Cowher was 34 in 1992.
What could be tricky is assimilating Tomlin's preference for the 4-3 defense into a Steelers system that has been built around the 3-4 since 1983. The Steelers have fitted their roster with players suited for the 3-4, such as All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu and Pro Bowl nose guard Casey Hampton.
Tomlin said he wouldn't rush to install the 4-3 and will retain defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, a proponent of the 3-4 and zone blitzing schemes. Instead, Tomlin plans to match his defenses to the skills of the players he has -- and he is not yet ready to say which defense that will be.
"You've got to be flexible and do what your guys do well," he said.
Tomlin also likes the so-called Tampa 2 cover scheme popularized by Dungy and assistant Monte Kiffin in Tampa Bay, one that had its roots in Pittsburgh's Steel Curtain defense of the 1970s -- a defense that played a 4-3. Dungy played on one of those four Steelers Super Bowl-winning teams.
Still, Tomlin's hiring likely will bring a shakeup in the Steelers' coaching staff less than a year after they won the Super Bowl. Grimm almost certainly won't return after being passed over. But Tomlin isn't ready to reveal any staff changes, saying he will begin to work on his staff when he travels to Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 23 to scout Senior Bowl players.
One Steelers assistant already knows Tomlin: linebackers coach Keith Butler coached with him at Memphis and Arkansas State.
Tomlin, from Hampton, Va., was a wide receiver at William & Mary, where he caught 20 touchdown passes during his career. He got his first coaching job at VMI under coach Bill Stewart, who was impressed by his demeanor as a William & Mary player. Tomlin later coached at Memphis, Tennessee-Martin, Arkansas State and Cincinnati before being hired as a Tampa Bay assistant.
Lets hope Tomlin and his new coaching staff can do better than 8-8 next year or there gonna be alot of suicidal Stiiler fans.

Sons of Anarchy actor Johnny Lewis was not high on any drugs and his death was accidental when he jumped from a second-floor balcony of a Los Feliz home after allegedly killing his landlady, according to a report by the Los Angeles County coroner's office.
Catherine Davis, 81, was strangled and beaten to death on Sept. 26 inside her Los Feliz home at 3605 Lowry Road and Lewis was found dead on the driveway.
According to the coroner's report, Lewis "jumped over a wrought iron railing at the top of the terrace to drop to the driveway below during his attempt to flee the location. During this jump [Lewis] lost his balance and landed on the concrete driveway head first."
The coroner's report states that Lewis attacked Davis and then, after struggling with several people at a residence next door, re-entered Davis' property and ran up to the balcony before accidentally jumping to his death. Lewis also dismembered Davis' cat, according to TMZ.
Lewis, 28, was previously believed to have been high on some sort of narcotic at the time of his death, as one witness told Patch he had been "experimenting with a concoction of bath salts." Detectives told the Los Angeles Times that a new recreational drug C2-I—or "smiles"—may have played a role in the attack.
The autopsy results, however, found that he had neither alcohol nor drugs in his system at the time of his death.
Davis ran a "residential inn, the Writer's Villa" out of her large Spanish Colonial home, which was described to Patch by a close friend of Davis as "high class and expensive."
Lewis had been released from Los Angeles County Jail a few days before Davis' homicide.

The lawyer for Brandon Baxter, a Lakewood man who is charged with four others of , said Wednesday his client was coached into participating in the scheme by an FBI informant working the case.
Cleveland attorney John Pyle, who took on Baxter's case this week, said his client would not have — and could not have — gone through with the plot if not for the FBI's involvement.
Pyle said his client will plead not guilty next week.
Baxter, 20, Douglas L. Wright, 26, Anthony Hayne, 35, Connor C. Stevens, 20, and Joshua S. Stafford, 23, are each charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of attempted use of an explosive. They were arrested Monday night.
According to , the agency used a secret informant and an undercover agent to infiltrate the group of self-proclaimed anarchists.
"You can just see flatly between the lines in the government's complaint about how much (the informant) was doing to encourage, facilitate and suggest," Pyle said. "That's the gist of it."
The informant — who was convicted of cocaine possession in 1990 and robbery in 1991 — began working for the FBI in July 2011. The undercover FBI agent has worked for the agency for 15 years.
The informant met Wright at a Cleveland protest in October 2011, the affidavit said.
The investigation began after Wright told the informant that he and several other anarchists wanted to "send a message to corporations" by causing "violence and destruction to physical property in a variety of ways," the affidavit said. The informant eventually met the other four accused men.
Baxter, who's been movement, had some issues with the government, Pyle conceded.
"There was some frustration on his part and other dimensions to his thinking, but he just didn't have the capacity to do this," he said. "He had no money. The government had to facilitate what they did. Otherwise they wouldn't have done it."
Christophe Kochheiser, who knows Baxter and the others from the Occupy Cleveland events, said he was shocked to hear about the charges.
"There's nothing malicious about him at all," Kochheiser said, adding he doesn't believe Baxter "is capable" of carrying out what he's charged with.
Represented by different attorneys, each of the men is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. May 7 at the federal courthouse in Cleveland for a detention hearing and a preliminary hearing.
They will remain in custody until then.

Have you replaced your tandem pump on your Audi?
Have you been advised to replace it?
Does your car suffer from hesitation, poor starting ( fuel run back ) or similar hard starts in the morning?
I see the internet littered with posts on this subject on Audi's and VW's and am trying to build a picture of how many, where, what models etc?
Please see below....
Audi have recomended a intank lift pump and or Tandem pump to help cure the issues.
Audi Technik today confirmed that there does seem to be low pressure and that the tandem pump seems to be failing
Seriously ***??
I had mine replaced under warranty on 05/08/2009 at 59k miles and now at 23/04/2013 and 102k miles I need another one!!
Are these parts made of chocolate??
Audi Technik have quoted £422.62 to replace tandem pump and see where it is from there.
Audi are looking at replacing tandem pump, intank lift pump, injector seals, various nuts & bolts + labour at, wait for it........£1460.00
I have a funny feeling that there will be a phone call to Audi in my very near future
Replacing tandem pumps every 2-3 years or 40k - 50k miles........I don't think so!!
If you have any of these or similar issues with your vehicle and have been advised to replace the lift pump or tandem pump, or have already done so I'd appreciate input here so I can build a picture
Personally, I think we're paying for a poor design feature here, along the lines of the VW corrosion on the wings etc, but without the warranty to back it up...Thats not to say we need to take it lying down.
Hope to hear.......
