- 2003 Jetta SW. TDI 5 sp & 01 sedan TDI 5sp. (extra 01 TDI totaled- parts car) "Optilube Summer" fuel additive
I had Both TDI's down recently and This one sat for about 2 weeks as i did a T-belt job on our other TDI due to someone not RTV sealing the water pump upon installation. It blew the o-ring... Anyway, it was awhile .before i could get to it to replace clutch on this one...
It was running great when clutch failed... I had the front elevated with just less than half a tank of fuel for about 2 weeks... Got the clutch in and upon test drive it is acting "as if" I had just replaced the fuel filter and diddnt completely get all the air out.... White Smoke last time I drove it a 5 mile trip...
VAG is showing NO codes except the Glow Plug issue which has been an ongoing Non issue here in FL... Its sluggish and eventually comes up to speed but something is wrong...
Any suggestions as to what would suddenly change from sitting for several weeks?
Thanks.... Ray
