How to reset the service reminder (which prompts the unsuspecting soul to bring his/her car for 5k oil changes).

Instead of clogging this post up with requests, why doesn't everyone send eluwak vbmenu_register("postmenu_1701585", true); a private message and it will keep the postings here down to a managable amount.

Wow, great stuff. I bought the 06 Jetta in Jan.08 with 14,000 miles on it and had the dealer change the oil first couple times. I question if they are using the correct oil since the part number on my invoice is different that the correct vw part # for the correct oil. I have always changed my own oil on other vehicles, but was a little worried about a diesel. This information is very valuable to me. I hope you keep up the great work on this web site. Thank you.

Is there a brake bleeding FAQ up? I thought there was a DIY guide for it on here somewhere, but alas search fails me again.

Did you read the subject title? Or the description in the subject? Or just click the link and read it. It doesn't seem too overwhelming to me.

and that is why i created the other sticky in this forum - so everything is labeled clearly and updated regularly so you do not have to scroll down the page.

i wish this thread would go away...

2005.5-2006 Oil Change

Is there a way to get the tube from a Pella Oil Extractor down the dipstick tube on this TDI. On my 2003 TDi I never had a problem but it acts like there is a windage tray on the bottom of the engine stopping the Pella tube. I mostly pull air deflector and the drain plug but there are times I would like to just suck the oil out. Any suggestions?

Engine codes?

I think the mods should add a list of the various TDI engine codes which are commonly used here as shorthand into the original sticky post. If I knew them all, I would say them here, but I don't :)

what do you mean 'engine codes'??? BRM, BHW, ALH? they are not codes or short hand - they are the model.
