Yeah, that's WAY more constructive. 37 pages.. what percentage of which is off topic?
Oh.. and I can take more pictures if anyone wants..

Thanks for the info on price and nice to hear that the kits are still shipping.I'll contribute something constructive. It looks like the 1 micron filter is now $35.70/ea vs the $25 figure in the first post. I am getting a kit in the next few weeks and am considering the 2 micron just based on price and availability. The CimTek 70025 is terribly hard to find.
"A great vendor in NY" was said to have these--thanks for posting so we know! I'm sure your name is floating around here somewhere but I hadn't seen it.Hey all - For those of you looking for a 70025 1 Micron filter at a great price, just send me a quick line at covermytdi@yahoo.com. I have been working with Andrew to supply these to folks with his kit. For most of the US I can get a filter to you around $33 shipped!
Lol. Nice touch.PS Andrew I painted your logo in black to give it a little more zing. ]
The A3 has the exact same engine as the 2009 Jetta, so the same unit ought to work perfectly. 2micron probably knows for sure.I posted this on the forum because 2 Microns PM mailbox is full.
I assume that you manufacture a unit for my vehicle.
Please provide me with a total cost. Am I correct in that assuming IF my 120,000 mile A3 TDI HPFP disintegrates, fuel tank cleaning and line flushing up to your unit is still required?
This kinda depends on what you buy and install. Andrew (2micron) sells 2 distinct kits:Am I correct in that assuming IF my 120,000 mile A3 TDI HPFP disintegrates, fuel tank cleaning and line flushing up to your unit is still required?
I know almost nothing about oil chemistry or used oil analysis, so I can't say anything intelligent about this question. However, there is a sticky thread in the Fuels and Lubricants forum where the experts are more likely to see your question. You might want to post your UOA results in this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=154548 and see if anybody there can give you any information.This last sample was taken by the dealer when the changed the timing belt and water pump at 119,500 miles with about 6600 miles on the oil.
Any thoughts? Could this be wearing on the HPFP?

We just installed 2micron's kit a few months ago on our 2010 A3 and let me tell you I am sleeping better knowing that in the event of a failure all I will be replacing is easy to reach hpfp and filters! Get his complete setup and you'll be good to go.I posted this on the forum because 2 Microns PM mailbox is full.

Thank you, rbcsaver
Not sure it's being sold yet... I got lucky.what about the ic drain? I don't see anything about it listed on his site.
.Any thoughts on the kits now that there is an actual VW extended warranty?
I am in line to get the setup, but don't want to risk anything with VW on the off chance that something happens. I am at 87k right now and could just keep it around until 120k and then install it.
So modest. I fixed it for you lol.
The Extended warranty is wonderful news. It helps the low mile owners carry on and now defines the group of owners that would most benefit from these kits.
This is really good news.
I would strongly suggest to wait until you are closer to 120k miles before considering these kits.
Simple:
Less than 120 K miles, no kit for you!!
Over 120 K miles, you're crazy not to install the kit!!!
.
Thanks!!

Hello Benny, I sent you a PM!So what's the wait time on the kits these days? I have <70K on my 2011, but I have a (mild) tune, and took out the miss-fuel adapter since I could actually PUT FUEL IN my tank with it installed... So I'm considering the kit.
