I'm happy with my "chip". In my car, everything is thru the OBDII port, no removal of ECU necessary.X_Railroader said:Hows the new chipping TDI workind out???

TDI_Convert said:I haven't heard from CoolWht yet about the dinner GTG this month, so if I don't hear anything by tomorrow evening, how 'bout I make plans for a Plymouth dinner Tues next week?
I've got Vag-com - can read and delete codes. LMK if you are coming to the dinner GTG (see post above for details) so I can bring it.05_new_jetta said:whats the chances that one of the people going to the dinner soon has vag-com for mk5 cars? i have an airbag light that is bugging the sh** out of me..lol
From the North, come down 31 to approx 1 mile South of US 6 in LaPaz. Stay to the right where 31 splits off to the East (South) there and 17 (Michigan Rd) goes South. You will want to stay to the Right on 17 South. The first light you come to will be just North of US RT. 30. Take a right or West at that light on that road (West 7C Road). You cannot go left or you will be driving onto the Plymouth Airport. You will take that West approx. 1 mile to a stop sign where the road comes to a "T". That is Oak Road. Turn Left or South, and turn into the 3rd entrance for the Wal-Mart on your right (just past the Wal-Mart gas pumps). Appleby's is the 2nd building on your left. If you miss this turn, you will have to go across Rt. 30 and turn around.CoolWht said:Due to requests to try a Plymouth location here it is...
Tuesday - June 12 Michiana dinner GTG at:
Applebee's
2225 N Oak Road
Plymouth, IN 46563
I plan to arrive in parking lot about 5:30pm Eastern time - we go in when everyone is there or wait until 6pm Eastern time and go in with whoever has shown up by then - whichever one occurs first! So please post if you are coming and kindly also let us know if you WILL come or HOPE to make it so those of us who are hungry don't have to wait too long for someone who may not make it. BTW to find me in the lot look for a white A4 Jetta sedan....
I'll be their if you could bring it.. thanks a lot!I've got Vag-com - can read and delete codes. LMK if you are coming to the dinner GTG (see post above for details) so I can bring it.
Why don't you ask crummie (Dave) about his Golf? Remember I drove it up to Marty's for RC Stage 2 - it's an entirely different car now! Unlike TDI_Convert's wagon the Golf still has original clutch and injectors - clutch slip will not be an issue if he sticks with OEM injectors per Jeff and Oliver of RC. If driven conservately it gets better mileage now well as more useable torque at highway speeds. Dave just told me he took a trip to Merrillville and his wife gasped at it's newfound acceleration capabilities!X_Railroader said:Hows the new chipping TDI workind out???

OK, will bring my Vag-com then!05_new_jetta said:I'll be their if you could bring it.. thanks a lot!
The local Michiana TDI'ers all have A4 / A5 platform cars (although we've never seen the A5 one yet - he's the one who started this entire thread! ) and your son's B4 platform Passat TDI is the first one I know of in this area.RussEanes said:My son Nate just moved to Elkhart and also just bought a 96 Passat TDI. It's in good shape, but needs a bit of work. Does anyone in Michiana know of a good TDI mechanic? Any other TDI owners in Elkhart/Goshen/South Bend? I'll tell him about your monthly GTG in Plymouth. I'm not sure yet if he's joined the forum.
This thread was actually started by someone in Mishawaka wanting to know if there were other Michiana TDI'ers around he could meet. Due to the broad "Indiana People" title we've had others in the state (and outside of it) post in here as well - mostly Indy area folks. The monthly Michiana dinner GTG was started as a direct result of this thread but so far as barely gotten off the ground for attracting more local TDI'ers - hopefully that will change this month! Same thing for the Indy area people - some posting but no GTG's of either dinner or wrenching kind I'm aware of unfortunely. I'd attend an Indy area GTG if one ever happens, maybe someday...Amy_D said:Hi all from Indy. I think it's funny that there are more ppl from Michiana talking about GTG than down here! I actually see quite a few TDIs in Indy, including several at work.
I grew up in South Bend and will be visiting again this weekend. Have fun with the cheap diesel! (It's all relative...)
I read the thread and noticed that... it's just strange to me that Indy doesn't have a more active group. I suppose we're all busy with other things! I did meet Greg out in Greenfield once to have him do my first oil change, but I do my own now.CoolWht said:This thread was actually started by someone in Mishawaka wanting to know if there were other Michiana TDI'ers around he could meet.

You are actually pretty lucky! It takes quite a bit of time for most people to find another job so congratulations on landing this one!DCELL said:wouldn't ya know it... I quit my last job and thought I'd have some time off so I could meet for dinner in plymouth. Now I have to go to wisconsin for training the whole week for my new job. I guess I spoke too soon!
What's strange is how many TDI'ers are in Indiana period yet there is no GTG activity of any type since I joined here in May 2002! Only Indiana GTG's I'm aware of was at Drivebywire's ( < know spelling is wrong ) old place in Hammond years ago before he moved to the Pacific Northwest in late 2001. Up in northern Indiana most of us go to the Michigan GTG's to see other TDI'ers/do wrenching. I agree with you the Indy area has a bunch of TDI'ers - a couple of summers ago one member intended to host a GTG but due to job/family constraints it never happened unfortunely.Amy_D said:I read the thread and noticed that... it's just strange to me that Indy doesn't have a more active group.
