Sweet, thanks for the responses. I simply didn't have time to change it even though I picked up a load of Mobil 1 ESP today, it was on sale at Napa for $6 and change and I can even use it in my PD! I'm pretty excited to use the same oil in both cars now and I may need to order more while its so...
So despite assuring me he knew what oil needed to be in our TDI, the shop put in this http://www.mobil.ca/canada-english-lcw/carengineoils_products_mobil-1_0w40.aspx#
Mobile 1 0w-40 which is VW rated for 502 and 505 and Mobile 1 also lists their own recommendation of 503 but it is not rated at...
I went the outlet route as well, great idea. I do have one problem, the wiring works with my super small and light trailer but not my camper which is still very small. Not sure if I need to go through my camper wiring now or if maybe the gauge wiring simply isn't enough from that tiny little...
I know there is tons of info about the brake light switch but from what I've found my situation sounds unique.
I read if the switch goes out on a TDI you will see a glow plug light. I don't have that.
I also find it weird that the top brake light would work when the bottom two do not.
Any...
I recently installed this full set all around.
Great price for a full set and I first did the rear with great results, unfortuantely when I did the front I ended up with a vibration. I think the rotor is imperfect but otherwise I would have been very happy...
If Defender tech is not an option, should I spend the extra $100 on the VDO or just get the Beck? From what I understand they are the same thing, maybe the VDO has a VW logo on it.
I read through those but something must be going over my head here. From what I understand the only available pump is now no suffix. You can choose to modify back to old style if you like but I still fail to see the advantage to buying one brand vs the other since it sounds like they are all...
So if youre saying they are all the same now why bother with the defender tech one? Whats different about it? It says both OEM and OE in the add so I don't really get how this is different than the one that just gave out on me after a year. Also, I cant really wait that long from Canada but I...

Another pump down
So its been less than a year since I replaced my last pump and today my car gave out and I hear nothing from the rear seat. After lots of cranking I got it started and driven home but it limped a couple of times. It's always had some rough cold start issues and I suspect...
MY 04 PD has the same problem, I've tried almost everything to no avail. It had a new plug harness installed v4 I bought it. I'm considering changing the coolant temp sensor just to see because basically that's what I've tried with several things up till now. My gauge never reads over 190 F...
