Unsure if this is right section. Please move if needed. 1. Hurricane irma eye passed over us with inevitable power loss on Sunday. Power was restored today (Thursday) Whoopee. During those long days and longer nights while my neighbors relied on generators...we used an inverter hooked to...

Had my pristine 1996 B4 in repair shop for AC rehabilitation. In order to access the dryer, the shop raised it via the jacking points on an hydraulic lift. When I recovered the car, it rode like a hay wagon. Discovered that the driver's side rear shock had locked in extended position. This...

Who's to say that VW wouldn't FLIP any"buy backs" in China, Mexico, India, Indonesia, etc.? They likely could recoup any forthcoming fines. OTOH, VW might offer to install a fuel injector in the exhaust system to burn off pollutants? That would be a cheap fix. They did that in 1996 and it...

increased vs. decreased value? All good and valid points. Thanks to all. i'll keep it. Soon eligible for antique plates.

Given the current uproar re: VW/Audi TDIs, Has my low milage, excellent condition 96 B4 1Z increased or decreased in value in the used car market? I'm not selling. I am seeking opinions. VWWV.

. X 2 re: the Flex pipe. Made my 96 B4 feel,as new, in that idle to 2200 rpm "drone" window Mine cost about $90 installed. Other than my marriage license, it was the best value, I've ever received for the money.

How far from Cartersville to Ocala, Fl? our GTG group includes a member that drives in from St.Simons Island. E mail Chris. Mendola at doctordiesel@cox.net. We generally meet spring and fall. Hope to see you there.

Thanks. Good info. BTW, Other than the bling items. I prefer my B4 over the Audi A3 tdi. More comfort, better fuel efficiency, and loads more space. Of course, I prefer my B4 over just about every other car I've ever driven or rode in.

My daughter has a 2012 Audi A3. I think her decision was based on my having the B4? Does that qualify me to post on this forum? Anyway, I was with her on a recent trip from NC back to Fl. and we had the unfortunate experiences of engine stalling two separate times when slowing to a stop. The...

Yes. Yes the whole car can shake. I couldn't believe it, either. Your symptoms sound exactly like mine. Here's a test: While on a lift (or otherwise raised with wheels not in contact with the ground, ask someone to push sideways or upwards on the exhaust pipe at the convertor while you are...

Maybe its time to consider adding a flex pipe section to your exhaust? Made my B4 feel as-new. I, too, had been considering motor mounts. Couldn't get the Search function up this morning so I'm sorry I can't give you a reference. Cost me $90 installed...a year ago. Most muffler shops can do...

If you look on the engine block side of the injector pump (that's the thing with all the metal fuel lines coming out of it) you will see a lever into which the advance cable used to attach. The cable would cause the lever to rotate either towards the passenger fender side or the driver side of...

TDIs don't have chokes! THis IS a diesel you're talking about? Diesels don't have chokes. No...it isn't related to the no start unless the advance is in the run configuration and it is real cold. No Starts are generally battery, starter related. There are several other causes but those...

Sorry, Momin. You have posted on the wrong forum. This forum is for TDIs and TDIs don't have manual chokes. However, your problem may indeed be a weak battery. You have mistaken the cold start advance for a choke. If the cable is broken (common) you may manually rotate the cam on your...

Please, please...somebody buy this gem so my wife can get some peace and can stop telling me to "grow up". Got a kid who's serious about college? Perfect car. Not a chick or cop magnet.

Oh Baby. Aren't many of those around. I, too, wish it was on the East side. Excellent price! Should maybe be in a museum? My 86 coupe is like the wicked witch of the West...from the Wizard Of Oz...."I'm melting". When is Barrett/Jackson coming by to inspect it?

Is there a plug in the fuel line leading down to the "5th injector", also? If not familiar with the term...do a search and get ready to learn about the only model year this was in...1996....and the Smoke Fix provided by VW.

Mid 80s Jetta I have an 86 Jetta coupe that I bought new in 86. It is slowly deteriorating with some rust around the glass and AC leaks but on the mountain roads where I drive it in the summertime...I much prefer it over my 96 Passat. The 86 tracks like a Teutonic car is supposed to....FLAT...

They say that if you wait long enough styles come back around. With reasonable maintenance our B4s have great endurance. Some day you'll hear that It's Hip To Be Square all over again and it won't be déjà vu. Hang in there. I have a closet full of leisure suits standing-by just waiting for...
