My problem is i don't have access to my car currently, I broke down in Atlanta last weekend and i live in South Georgia so my car is currently sitting at the dealer outside of Atlanta. The dealer said the mechanic tried a know good recirculation valve but I'm not sure if that is the same thing...

My car started flashing the Glow Plug light when i was driving and i turned the car off and it went away, about 30 mins later it started flashing again this time accompanied with the MIL light and a total loss of acceleration going into limp mode. I got the codes read at the local auto zone and...

Hey everyone, I just got to San Diego and am looking for a trusted mechanic in the area. In the trusted mechanic thread i dont see any in the area and the closest one in almost in LA. Anyone have a suggestion for a trusted mechanic in the area?

I started getting the code around 88-89,xxx and changed around 90-91,xxx. I cant remember off hand, but you might be able to get away with not taking the manifold off since thats not your problem. I believe on the bottom of the throttle valve there is 2 short bolts holding it onto the EGR and...

This is the write up that i did on replacing my intake manifold: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=381933&highlight=p2015 There is a picture in there of the EGR before i cleaned it. I would assume that the valve coming from the connecting pipe is probably gummed up from all that soot...
