One more vote for HermTDI !

One more vote for the 3M double sided tape, have used it on my '97 when the heat down here loosens the strip.

TB change in tacoma /seattle areas? Contact Pete aka Drivebiwire for the best possible maintanence for your TDI, well worth the drive.

Talk to Pete aka Drivbiwire, he's the wrench in the NW.

Check your mail.

dieseldorf is thinking along the same path as me- that was my next suggestion. Cranks ( w/good electrics)+no start=fuel delivery problem. Given what you've described there must be blockage somewhere from tank to injector.

Plugged fuel line from pump to injector?

Simple job, one-time-use stretch bolt on bottom caliper mount which is included with most OEM kits, but also easy to get at a good hardware store. I used a large socket to place inside the piston to push back into place with Metalnerd's great brake tool.

MWG-you've got mail, hope it plays for you.

I second DeafBug's advice- against letting any independant shop work on your car if there is a highly qualified forum wrench in the area- and Matt certainly fills the bill. Go to car54! ]

Go after the hose inside the ECU first Chuck, not last. The hose walls weaken and collapse- your spirited driving could have definately KO'd this little bugger.

Lost a cam follower on my '97 about 3 weeks ago- tooling along I-10 and suddenly no engine. thought it was a relay 109 issue 'till I pulled the valve cover off. Got a reman longblock installed by local dealer (so I would have some warranty recourse later) Heck of a lot cheaper than a new car...

Takes a real man to drive around without a CEL, you are our hero sir! The audacity, the courage, absolutely fearless!!!

Well, I figured the classified/wanted section was appropriate. Some very nice photos of stunning tool chests have already come pouring in.....

Mrs. dogbreath has decided she no longer wants to be married, so if there are any Phoenix area female TDIers interested in an eccentric, healthy, employed, home owning middle aged male, let me know. What could be more exciting than Sat morning timing belt changes, followed by romantic strolls...

If you want to stay semi local check out Harvieux, he'll take care of you. If you don't mind a road trip come and see me, you can get some bio while you're in Phoenix.
