The unit is coming out Monday. I'm guessing the diff has no planets. :( Peloquin?

'02 Jetta, rebuilt 01m (<2k), 215k total... I haven't driven much since the rebuild, but had the TDI out Saturday. I was driving through town, traveling roughly 22mph in drive, straight, level, dry, sunny, and ~65°F, when the front wheels locked. I skidded to a stop, collected myself, stepped...

At ease, soldier. May you Rest in Peace...

I've started getting E-Mails again for the old CNN movie clip I filched in 2k1. Since Yahoo no longer allows me to serve it from my (useless) briefcase, I'm posting it here for all and sundry. The link to the CNN movie clip is here. Sorry about the bandwidth, Rich... As always, kiddies, get...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">BTDT, and you're welcome. They're expensive, but I'd suggest a PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 600 if your case is larger than a 2U. They're unquestionably the best, have a typical power variation of ±0 from 10mA to rated output, and are very...

Have you verified the power supply?

I've acquired an acceleration problem over the last few days, don't have garage space at the moment (I work in the cold, but don't really want to do a blind exploration in it unless I have to), and don't have access to my RB. The problem feels like the go pedal on a gasser, where the accelerator...

You're right, VF, but I'm not at all sold on putting hot lamps in VW's OEM fixtures. I know the Golf/NB doesn't suffer like the Jetta, but I'd seriously look at aftermarkets or E-codes if I were going HID... BTW kurtisk, the lighting forum at VWVortex might also be of interest to you... [...

Skip the HID's and get a set of European specification light assemblies. North American spec lights have an inferior pattern. Brighter bulbs will only give you more inferior light -- garbage in, garbage out. Go to the TDI 101 or Upgrades (non TDI Engine related) forums, run a search for "E-code"...

'Got mine yesterday. It essentially says the regulators are unconditionally warranted for 7 years, that replacement will be free for that time period, and that if they've already been done, that a reimbursement will be paid the owner -- no paperwork necessary. I assume the "7 years" thing is to...

Welcome to the Forums, stepchild. The TDI's driveline is extremely reliable, the rest of the car is neither more, nor less reliable than any other VW. The rub with the diesel is not that it requires maintenance, because it requires less than a gasser, but what it does require it demands...

Thanks, Anthony. Bluffton is ~70 miles from me, but only ~20 miles off my Michigan route. It gets too cold for me to contemplate B-100 until spring, but I'm thinking it might make a nice winter additive, and blending it (strictly as an additive) with the local petrodiesel could be an interesting...

Arrrggg...! I can't believe I lost track of this thread for a month! Has anyone analyzed (or burned enough of) the Steffan Oil BD to decide whether it's "da good stuff?" Is it washed? Any clue where they're getting it, or if their supply will dry up?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">***!?? I'll stop back by the stealer in a day or two, and get an absolute clarification as to exactly where the number in question is located, and what the other numbers mean, if anything. Dat don' make sense, TADC...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, Gearhead, you are correct. It is located behind the air box, between the master cylinder and strut tower, and is mounted on a level below that of the master cylinder. The assembly looks like a square aluminum machining ~40mm thick, with a...

Go look at your ABS' part number, then you'll know...

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you guys...Brakes work fine, the pedal might be a little softer than when new, but everyone gets an air bubble occasionally. I'll have 'em re-bled in a month or so. <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <font size="2" face="Verdana...
