I am in a bit of a crunch here, fore the car is leaking so much coolant that I am not driving it anymore. I know that dealers don't see a ton of TDI's, thus they are not always the ideal place to take our cars, but considering my situation, is this a repair that can be trusted to a dealer?

I just called a local dealer and they gave me a quote of 2 1/2 hours ($210 or something like that). Does Jon Hamilton run a shop so I can call him during the day or should I be calling him in the evening?

Sam,
My local dealer has the coolant flange if you still need it fixed. Just let me know.
Thanks

THe VW dealer in Fairfield is supposed to have a good TDI man. He left Champion VW in Florence and went to Fairfield. They raved avout him.

If anyone in the Dayton or Cincinnati areas need Vw repairs including TDI repairs, I can help. I have the factory tools and I am a ASE certified Master tech. I also am very reasonable on prices.

Greetings,
I just saw your thread (though years old!). Are you still offering repairs? In what part of Dayton/Cincinnati are you in?
I have a 2002 jetta tdi that I may be looking to get replaced with water pump/tensioner, etc. if so, what would you estimate as total cost? The vehicle has been kept inside so there is very little rust.
Regards, William

William, Joe is very much still around. He now has his own very successful shop. Joe is a wonderful guy, I would still use him all the time except he is simply too far away, being up in Beavercreek and myself down in Cincinnati. Here is his shop's contact info:
