I have a 2004 Jetta tdi base model in Canada completely stock unmodified. I have thoroughly enjoyed this vehicle and the 4.3 L/100km fuel economy it delivers while driving along casually on the highway. My father has a 2009 Jetta wagon which is larger and does not get close to the fuel...

Well I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. I mean I can't say for sure that it is not the turbo BUT... I took the car to my friends shop after work who was kind enough to let me put it up in the air and peak around underneath with him inside playing with the...

Hey thanks for all the recommendations guys. This car has really not been the promise of a bullet proof reliable vehicle as was the diesel promise I was led to believe. Nevertheless I have enjoyed this car very much its a pleasure to drive. Just for the record until recently I was a...

It WAS in for the egr cooler recall about 8 months ago :o

Hi guys, my 04 jetta I've owned since new is passing 250,000 kms and I'm quite certain I have a failing turbo. There is a high pitch loud shreiking noise from 2250 rpms or so on wards at light load conditions, maintaining speed etc. Off throttle or heavy throttle application sees the noise go...

I didn't mean to offend anyone. What I am saying is this, the interior in my 2004 Jetta is black. The interior in a 2011 Golf is grey. I think the grey interior makes it look cheap even though the interior is well done. If it was black I would have bought the car. BMW have black interiors...

What I'm trying to say, is the 2011 Golf doesn't have a black interior, I think its cheap looking in the grey interior. My 2004 Jetta has a black interior. If the Golf 2011 came in a black interior I would have bought it tonight. BTW, our family is 4 cars, 3 are TDI and one is a Tiguan so I...

So I have a 2004 Jetta TDI bought new and its been hands down the best car I've ever owned. 216,000 HARD kilometers, no real issues. I've fender bendered every corner. Car needs some money if I expect to continue to use it without being embarassed. Structurally and mechanically perfect (needs...

Car went into dealer today. It did the slipping out of gear business when driving two more times and then sitting at a light in an intersection, light turns green press the accelerator all you get is a bunch of rpms and car doesn't move. If I had to hazzard a guess I would say its losing...

Does the NHTSA thing apply for Canada too ?

:mad: So its an 09 JSW and its got 6000 kms or so on it. Its happened to me once and to my dad twice (his car), all three times it was at around 100 km/hr or faster on the highway, seems like you were driving and can't recall exactly if it was off throttle and then on throttle again or if...

Does anyone have this oem vw accessory for blue tooth and your cellphone that hooks up to the car so you can use the buttons on your steering wheel ? I am wondering if the volume is nice and loud when you are using it, if its intuitive and if it automatically lowers adjusts the radio volume as...

So my dad just got this car and boy does it ever make me jealous !! Gorgeous car highly recommend it to anyone interested. But there is one little glitch it has. The drivers side door when you open and almost full it close it through its sweep there is a "snap snap" noise it makes right...

My friend that would present a challenge to your vehicle about something like a grizzly bear going through a tent looking for food. Put it this way, using my Mark IV PD (very weak compared to my dads 09 jsw tdi) I towed TWO sportbikes on an open 64" wide x 12 foot aluminum trailer from...

I agree !! Because the pdf is wrong, if I did it his way it would have been perfect. I spent hours trying to get it over the tension side of things without any slack at all in the belt with the cam pulley all the way counterclockwise. No way that was gonna work. VW rocks they have taken...

Oh ? What you are saying is quite different than what is published in the detailed procedure done by MOGolf. I have realized what I did wrong, its nobodies fault but mine. I have done a couple of hundred timing belts (used to wrench on cars for a living) and I'm quite proud to say that...

yeah no kidding, this timing belt job was a bit of a pia. But it seems to be running pretty close, I guess the smoke was just brief last night. I am looking at the "torsion value" measuring block 4 right most block and mine is at -6, there is another thread saying it should be between -3 and...

Okay so its late and I didn't go for a test drive yet. I finished the timing belt job on my 04 jetta according to the pd instructions published here. I followed the instructions as closely as possible. Now the car starts up just fine but the seemed a little rough and there was way more...

I don't mean to threadjack but instead of starting a new thread I figured I'd just add to this one. So our 2000 Golf TDI auto is acting up as well periodically. It doesn't shift out of 1st sometimes until 10 seconds or so of revving quite high. Ours has 253,000 kms on it all original tranny...
