This is my first post here, if I'm on a forum its usually Cumminsforum. I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 Cummins, and she had 95 Dodge 2500 Cummins until recently, we didn't have full coverage so when she wrecked it we were just out a vehicle. Long story short, my truck is now paid for and honestly we don't need 2 trucks. So she wants a Diesel beetle. I've read most of the FAQS, I have knowledge of diesels, I'm a diesel mechanics son so I inherited the diesel love, but I know nothing about TDIs and certainly nothing about a beetle. Are there any particular years of the beetle that has any particular thing I need to look lookout for? I'm changing the timing belt and fluids as soon as we get one just for the peice of mind, but since ill probably have to buy one with a a little higher miles are there any high-mileage, TDI specific things to look out for? I know that a lot of that was mentioned in the FAQs but I also noticed much of that was poated a few years back....so any new developments? Any tips, great TDI stories ... help a new TDI guy out, lol
