Default miscellaneaous questions for a 99.5...

... 1) the manual says "timed rear defogger" - what is the interval?? i don't think mine has ever turned off by itself. malfunction maybe?

... 2) does the 1.8t engine have a timing <b>belt</b> or <i>chain</i>?

... 3) my new wheels came in :-) woo hoo! my standard 8-spoke wheels came with open ended black lug bolts hiddcen by the center cap. the new wheels have exposed lug bolts. if i use the oem lug bolts from my 8-spoke wheels, can i just buy the "caps" or do the caps go on a different set of lugs? (you'd think the dealer parts dept would be able to answer this!)

... 4) is the sunlight sensor for the auto climate control that little black piece of plastic in the front windshield defogger vent? what happens if i get amoral on it!?

... 5) IS ANYONE ELSE CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO PUT THE SUMMER WHEELS ON YET! just a few more weeks . . . . . . . . . . .

1. About 10 min.
2. Belt
3. Yes you can buy them. Be sure the tapper on your lug bolt seats match the tapper of the wheel seats. Roinded or flat, DON'T mix.
4. Yep, it'll make it shine
5. Nope, snowing every week here at Lake Tahoe
