To be honest I'm not sure. It was shipped from Europe and is the diesel version, not the gasser here in the US. It was done by Coolair VW.

Tools and difficulty? Are there specialty tools needed? Difficulty level? How to's? I've done timing belts, turbos, injectors, etc on my old 96 and 01, but not been inside this one. I've seen the fuel injector install kits for all four injectors that has the bolts and seals for $120 (ID...

I've got a B5.5 BHW Passat that is getting diesel in the oil. The oil level goes up about 1/2-3/4" in a 1k miles. The engine starts and runs great with no smoking, so not a leaky injector. I first thought it was coming from the tandem pump, so I changed it twice and no change. The only other...

Thanks Ketchup. I'll check with them.

I like the idea of swapping it all out, but unfortunately, none of the yards within about 200 miles have any VWs to pull from. Older VWs are few and far between in my area. I will probably just end up pulling the tower and tack welding it. Thanks for all the replies.

Need the rear wiper motor for my '96 B4V. There are no junkyards around me that has any VW stuff, and can't seem to find any online. Anyone have a good used one, or know where I can order one? Thanks, Chuck
