French refineries are closed by a strike. The European Union declared an embargo on Russian fuel imports from February 5th. In the US, refiners are preparing for maintenance season. Inventories of middle distillates are below the bottom of the 5-year range in the US, and demand is still...

Not surprising. Try going to the regional forum and post your question there.

Don't limit your search. You should just try to find the best Golf you can, 2-door or 4-door. There are far more 4-door Golfs out there. Back in 2003 when I was trying to buy my first Golf, I thought I wanted a 2-door. But when the transporter showed up at at a local dealership, all the Golfs...

A fairly high number of ALH TDIs have salvage titles. Almost any fender bender reported by you or by the other driver will result in the insurance company declaring your car as totaled. It does not matter how well it runs after you fix it, or even if it doesn't need fixing.

True. The H7/94R is a better fit than the Group 49 or H8. I picked up a Jetta wagon last spring that came with an H8 battery and it's a really tight fit. H7 and H8 are both very strong batteries.

Incredible. But I hope he has replaced the 20-year-old timing belt?

I'm in Minnesota, so the closer the better.

Remember, the software needs to be uploaded before or at the same time as the hardware upgrade. Definitely not the opposite order.

See post #12 above. This is the VIN for the white 2003 Jetta TDI wagon I sold for $6500: WVWSP61J63W564459 This is the VIN for the silver 2003 Jetta TDI wagon I bought for $6000: WVWSP61J73W500060

So, what should one do about DRLs? I have a Euro switch and DRLs do not come on automatically with hand brake released.

I bought one 2003 Jetta TDI wagon this year for $6000, and sold a different 2003 Jetta TDI wagon for $6500. Both had the 5-speed manual gearbox. I would say that a clean well-maintained 2003 wagon with good paint, no rust, should be worth from $6000 to $8500. Some folks ask for more but I...

Delivering a couple of thousand gallons to one station is cheaper than delivering 200 or 300 gallons to a few dozen residences or businesses. I assume the guy driving the tank truck is making $25/hour or more. And the tank truck itself is burning $5 or $10 worth of fuel every hour.

You quoted my post from 2006. A lot of TDI mechs have come and gone since then.

"Powering trucks, trains and ships that drive industry, the fuel is commanding huge buy-it-now premiums in Europe. Beset by worker strikes over pay at French oil refineries that lasted over three weeks, the continent is struggling to be ready for a ban on imports from key supplier Russia that’s...
