A couple of issies i have noticed lately have me thinking. First is the feel of lack of power. Seems like i have to almost mash the skinny pedal jist to get the fat box up to speed. I never had to do that before and i thought it had something to do with the spare being on for a couple of weeks. Now i have a new tire and it has not changed. I dont have any dummy lights or codes popping up so im lost. Looking for possibilities here.

Second, the cruise control seems to be "hunting" to keep up the preset speed. I know its supposd to do that when going up or down a mountain/hill, but on a flat road and minor overpasses? C'mon now, my Jetta hardly/never changed gears when on cruise. Can it have someyhing to do with the larger wheels? If so, what would be the fix, tranny flash?
