Thank you again for all the replies. I think the subject has been well covered so unless someone wants to add to this I am satisfied an will probably start using this stuff. As someone said it is a local product that is "recycled" and reduces demands on resources, all good in my book

thank you for the replies. philingrayce: So replacing the seals in an IP with viton is not that hard (as opposed to rebuilding it)? Maybe I'll take that on if I need to, but I'd hate to screw up and create expensive problems that need a pro to fix. I suppose there is a thread in here...

Thanks for the replies. Still looking for any testimonials that a 2000-2003 Jetta wagon IP is not affected by biodiesel. Fruitcakesa appears to have had a problem with his 2001 Jetta wagon IP and had to reseal so maybe thats what I will eventually have to face. Fruitcakesa Did you DIY...

I read at biofueloasis.com that they have never had a customer with a 2000-2003 Jetta station wagon complain of having their car's original injection pump develop leaking seals due to biodiesel. Can any one confirm or deny this with personal experience? Biofueloasis says and I have read that...

I'm looking at a 2003 Jetta with about a 1/2 inch by 2 inche length of tiny incipient paint bubbles where it is obvious to me that rust and corrosion has been doing its work and is now starting to be detectable. The owner is a long time friend and he hadn't even noticed it yet. Its just just...

Thanks guys. You've answered my question. Any want to comment on the the reasonableness of my choice of car search? And, of course, does anyone want to sell at a reasonable price. Eric

Hi all, I've scoured this forum and determined a late model MKIV (2002 or 2003) is the best for me. I am concentrating on Jettas but may go for a Golf if a good one comes up. I assume Golfs and Jettas and their engines/tranny/components are the same, I just recently decided a Golf might work...
