Well the car rides so smooth. Very impressed with the acceleration.
A little about the car:
1999 New Beetle TDI
83K miles
Standard transmission
Some issues that I noticed and was wondering about:
AC Blew warm, the compressor engaged but no cold air ( I have a r134 recharge kit already)
Check engine light is on
The car accelerates up through 2900-3200 RPM then seems like it is going to die. The harder I push the more it seems like it is going to stall. Prior to this it all seems pretty powerful (compared to my non-turbo mercedes 240D)
The alarm turns on and off at whim after I fiddled with it a while it now stays off or on as ordered.
Thoughts, tips suggestions? The thing worrying me most is the hesitation at moderate rpms. Is this due to the fuel pump regulating the flow? My mercedes cannot blow up because of the regulator built into the fuel pump. Is it the same on TDI's?
Thanks again for any help.
