Thats interesting I test drove a TDi golf 4-door with DSG and it had 170 miles on it when I took it out and 186 miles on it when I brought it back, It also CEL'ed on me on the way back. NO thrashing or treating it poorly, I wanted badly to scan it but didnt have my laptop with me. I later...

shoot! please drop this into the Mk 6 segment, I goofed.

So i see that VW has new golf TDI's at the west side dealership here in my Minneapolis MN town. They only had a 4 door DSG for me to drive insted of the 6 speed manual 2 door i wanted... But I wasn't to be discouraged and took the car out. Loved the MFI, loved the touch screen radio, seems like...

Big brothers car an 04 PD TDI Jetta with about 120k on it suffered a loss of power and CEL along with limp mode while travailing over labor day. He filled up at a shadyer station in rural mich, against his better judgment and then 80 miles later all of this started. Car began to shudder and...

Sounds dumb but also check that your key is coming all the way back to run position from start. mine has stuck sometimes, and i have thought things were broke on my dash bc of it.

I think putting 215,000 miles on a TDI earns you some nozzles.

Aha. Somehow the knowlege that you can replace just the nozzles escaped me. must be all the tinkering on 1.6 IDI's making my brain go mushy. Im looking into some karmaTDI bought nozzles that give me some exstra HP's to go with a taller 5th gear swap, and ill try cleaning with some injector...

My Jetta would do a similar thing, in much colder glow plug needing conditions and in the warm! I agree with the group so far on this that Cleaning the batt clamps and terminals will fix your issue. If your battery was that weak it wouldn't turn over the engine. Though for peace of mind you can...

Have a 1998 Jetta with the 1Z engine, manual, 215000 on her now. Intermittently on start up it feels as though i'm down a cylinder. The engine runs rough and creates alot of blue diesel smoke while the tac will be fluctuating between a good clean idle and dropping off to 690ish or so. This will...

So my brothers brand new PD was recomended by the dealer for 10,000 miles untill the next oil change... Is the VW dealer giving us good or bad advice? What kind of oil change mileage do you guys use??? And what would you all recomend?

So I have a 1998 Jetta TDI with a 1Z engine and i am new to the TDI tunning world (though im your man for rotorys) I want to know what good preformance Mods are for my car... Id love to know brand names costs and apparent trade offs for the systems. Basicly im looking to find out what works the...

so how do engines with timing chains get along??? are they non Interference or what??

Has anyone ever thought of building a few sprockets, replacing the pullys and running a chain? sure you would have to build a "box" to hold oil for a timing chain.. But what would it be like to have a car that NEVER needed a timing belt change AND never needed to be worryed about??

I have a red 98 jetta with a 1Z engine as well , you can be sure what you have because the 1Z engines all had GReedy Turbos in them and the AHU's all have lower boost KKK turbos in them. so all you need is to see your turbo if your confused, but its also on the build code sticker thats on the...

yah i was looking for jetta stuff and was ignorant of the performance area, If you wanted my solution, put in a 13B-REW rotory in it and port the @#!$ out of it but then it would not get the kick ass mileage...

So ive been tuning gas engines (mostly rotory) for a while now and i wans wondering whats the list of mods that do the best in the $ to hp/torqe value for the TDI's? aka what are the most worthwhile mods you guys have seen for the car? Please gimme brand names if there are any im sort of trying...

so i did the worst thing in the world... 4 months after buying my Jetta TDI i was driving along and BANG my timing belt was gone... Vavles pushed up through the lifters and shatered some of the lobes on my cam. VW quotes 3100$ to fix it, and were going to rebuild the cyl head. So First...

NEW TDI\'s Pump Duse Starting in the cold weather So my brother bought a BRAND NEW 2004 JETTA Pump Duse TDI (just wore in the engine). He is complaining that it starts to hard and shakes the car too much when the car starts in 20 F or less. I tell him that of corse A TDI needs to be warm to run...
