This is really quite ironic considering that GM almost destroyed the diesel market back in the '80's and Lutz was so against diesels. The new Chevy Cruze diesel is quite impressive. They are also marketing a smallish pickup truck with a 4 cylinder diesel and are now planning an SUV with diesel...

Ok, so reporting back on the Moog control springs. They do work and fit and I have had them in a little while. Ride seems fine. I do notice them dropping more than I thought due to a load but not as bad as the stock springs were. I still don't have a trailer hitch on mine so not sure what...

You will need to use a race pipe adapter to fit the intercooler hose to to the manifold.

Probably need to go to a pull a part yard or look for a part out. Check VWVortex as well as there are a lot of part outs on their website and this part is not TDI specific.

Give one of these guys listed in the post above a call at the very least. Then RUN to get your car from where it is now and get it to one of them. They will WAY more knowledgeable than mr. transmission and will help you get it on the road again quickly and much less painfully.

Funny how anti-diesel GM is introducing diesels again into their lineup. First the Cruze and now this. Ford needs to get in on the act and give us the Focus diesel and the new Ranger diesel.

Do you have a working copy of vcds? Are there any codes being thrown? As far as the pump goes, the QA on the top is the likely suspect for any electrical gremlins. This piece can be swapped out with a known good one but you will have to make sure your IQ is adjusted correctly. I also know...

In my 1997 Jetta TDI, my fuel gauge and temperature gauge don't work in my cluster but everything else does. Does anyone know if they are connected, the fuel and temperature gauges? My low coolant light also flashes after about a minute but the coolant level is fine. I have not replaced the...

Do you have the injector lines (hard lines from pump) and injectors? And the instrument cluster?

Do you have the cluster?

The rumbling sounds like a wheel bearing. Numerous places sell a kit for this. You can do it yourself if you have a way to remove the hub or take off the knuckle and take it in to a shop to press out the old bearing and put in the new one. If you need a new hub, MJM Autohaus still sells them...

Do you have the HUCO part # that you got?

How exactly does the threaded sleeve come out?

G60ING, if you were just going to do a single filter setup, just a remote location, what filter mount would you go with? Also, could you post the fittings you used? That setup looks almost factory and is actually better than factory due to additional filtering.

What size adapter do you buy?
