    Congrats on the new ride! The only suggestion I have for you, is show up in Moab around the 13th of May, and have a good time with us all!

    Welcome, Another VXer in UT nice.

    Another thing I would suggest is to double check the transmission fill plug after they service it. Some times they don’t seat it properly and it will leak. Congrats!

    Welcome!!

    My dealer did the window fix for about $275 (twice) IIRC. They part they will want to replace is called the "window regulator." If you are mechanically inclined, ask for the original regulator back and rebuild the window tabs when you get it back from the dealer.

    Here's the big thing... check the oil level and keep an eye on it! Check it at every fill-up, note when (mileage) you need to add and how much, etc. Some VX's burn significant amounts of oil, and you don't want to have a blown engine inform you that yours is (was) one of them.

    Do have them check the EGR for clogging.. very important to keep it clean.
