    Quick question on clutch bleed

    My gti is three yrs old. I'll be bleeding the brakes, just as part of maintenance. I have a brake pressure bleeder. Should i even bother doing the clutch ? if so, is it the same deal as the brakes as in just open the bleeder valve til the fluid comes out clear? I'm guessing yes, just want to...

    So how often are you balancing your tires/wheels?

    Manufacturers normally recommend between 3,000 to 6,000 miles. But realistically, who's actually doing that ? Unless you're feeling vibration, who's thinks well i'm at 3k, i better get my tires balanced ? Reason i ask, is during my regular 5k tire rotation i noticed a big nail in my tire. So i...
