Date is confirmed for Sunday, October 6th. Likely starting at 10am at either Memorial Park or Spring Meadow Park in Helena, MT. Further details to come.

Nice. Hate the ones where it drains out all the way back to the tank and just can't pull it back up. Had that happen on a Volvo 760 TD one time years ago that was parallel parked on the street facing uphill for a week while I was away, no way to get the car out without major effort. After...

Let's make that a goal! :p

Nice. Looks like almost all the heavy lifting has been done. Just details to tidy up. Great opportunity given that the cost of the kit after shipping is only a little less than what you're asking for the entire car, mostly put together. I would take it on if I could. Hope someone can get it and...

Putting this out in case anyone on here has interest in joining. After talking with other TDI owners around Montana who have finished some good projects this summer, I am working on organizing a GTG to exchange info, show off some great builds, and do a little swap meet if anyone needs parts...

Interesting car. Always seems strange to me when someone imports a car that is very similar to something we got for sale here, especially when it's one that has the handicap of RHD which sucks for anyone other than a rural postal carrier (who probably wants something bigger and taller than a...

Makes sense on all of the above. Scary/crazy to think of the total cost to society from equipment like this that is needlessly complex, breaks often, and is extremely costly to repair. Not just engine and drivetrain parts either, right? Almost every bumper has proximity sensors in it now...

OH, in what you see day to day, is there anything vehicle from the last 10 years that you think is solid enough to be worth recommending? Acquaintances and family members who know that I waste my spare time and money on car hobbies sometimes ask me what new or late model used vehicle they...

Another hint: there are still questions in my earlier post that you didn't answer yet. If you want folks on here to donate their free knowledge and help, a good way to encourage it is to read the responses carefully and answer EVERY question. We're not asking for fun, we're asking because we...

What did you do for converting the fuel system from gas to diesel? What's the fuel supply? What was done with the in-tank pump on the gas car? Is it still there/anything running it? Bypass to limit pressure to the diesel injection pump? Fuel lines flushed to diesel? Certain there's no air...

Have you looked up those codes? All of them are circuit fault codes that involve major functional items for the engine management components. You have unresolved wiring issues to sort out. Very difficult for us here to help with limited info. Do you have VCDS? How did you retrieve these...

Forget about the glow plugs for now, if everything else is wired in correctly and immobilizer is happy the car will readily start and run without them in anything but the most frigid temperatures.... Not likely in August. That's not what's preventing the car from running. Given your...

Would be great if they existed on North American shores. The Crafter was never marketed here. But maybe they are common enough overseas to be cheap and easily available? Wonder if the cost of buying one and shipping from UK or Europe would end up less than the price of the adapter plate kits...
