F'n F-hose. We're not talking about a rip or a tear, but my F-hose literally blew apart. It only has about 10k miles on it too.

FWIW, even with the TCD...the ECU was able to throw a negative deviation code and activate limp mode.

Default Yeah...it went with my household goods so it was very cheap and no import duties.

Find a TV?

Default I didn't realise you avoided import duty. VAT also?

This is a relocation allowance for Germany? Any limit on how soon you could sell the car if you wished? Any limit on how valuable the car can be? I might try to use that technique one day. :-)

Default Yep, you cannot sell the car for 1 year. I don't recall any limit on value.

You must also own the car 6 months prior to shipping. If those qualifications are met, you don't need to pay anything on top of the shipping charges.
