Any speed lost on an incline? My car had similar symptons you described. It was the MAF. Find someone with a VAG-COM. The VAG-COM should reveal some information on the MAF performance. I forgot which value you need to look at on the VAG-COM. It's field 001, 003 and 013...I don't remember...

Hi grd703- Can you give an example of "soft" driving? Does this means you stay under 2,000 rpm? Just curious. Thanks.

Is it okay to drive with the MAF unplugged until the new one arrive? What other side affects will this cause? Just curious.

sebringbmw- This doesn't sound like a MAF problem. You can test for MAF failure by disconnecting it and drive the car around a bit. If you notice any difference then it's MAF. Maybe a clogged of some sort somewhere.

Re: How well do TDI\'s hold speed on the interstate I averaged 80mph from Salt Lake City, Utah to Hayward, CA. (mountains and all). On my way back from CA to UT is a different story due to the snow screen problem. That problem is now solved (Thanks to KERMA on this forum). The MPGs are...

Mine is Vin because in the past if I used Vinh (real) I keep getting Vihn (note h and n switched). Then all hell breaks loose on the pronunciation.

Re: Sick 01\' Jetta TDi THANK YOU KERMA! for bring back the love in driving this TDI! It was awesome! I am now free to pass other drivers (under 80mph) at will By the way I am saving all my lunch money for the Rocket chip starting this very second. Many thanks to all for your kindness. -Vinh

Sick 01\' Jetta TDi Dear TDIers, I just got back from a road trip to California in my 01’ Jetta TDi. I live in Salt Lake the round trip to CA is approximately 1,200 miles. On my way back I noticed the car lost a lot of power. Very slow acceleration in the lower gears. Top gear will only...

Just wanted to post the result for documentations purposes. Spraying the pollen filter with Lysol worked. 1. Spray the pollen filter with generous amount of Lysol. 2. Open all windows/sunroof and turn the air to max 3. Switch location every 5 minutes until it cycle through all settings...

I hosed down the pollen filter today with Lysol. Couldn’t believe how many flavor of Lysol out there. The one I used “LYSOL Brand II Disinfectant Spray: Crisp Line Scent”. Thanks to all for responding.

Hi All, After searching around (this great forum and the Internet). Solutions so far.. 1. Spray Lysol into air intake vent. 2. Drain fluid from AC box. I am leaning toward #2 because spraying stuff into the vent might cause more problems. Any suggestion? many thanks! PS. Just realized i...

This morning: Garage temp. is about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Outside temp. is 17 degrees Fahrenheit. The fuel gauge read 2nd to last indicator. After driving for about 10 minutes. It reads 3rd to last indicator. 20 minutes later (30 minutes total driving) it goes back to 2nd to last...

Such aweful news. Best of luck Mikey. Let me know if you need a hand.

Same here. I have the same noise, in the same place. If I put a little pressure on the dash-board it will go away. [2001.Jetta.GLS] It will be another month or two before my 5k service. I'll check to see if the local dealership will look at it with out reaching into my pocket for $$. Vin...

I am moving this weekend. I won't be able to join you.

I am ultra-new (if there is such statement) at Diesel Engine. Just want to thanks everyone for this forum. The informative answers to each questions have help me buy one of the best car out there. I am going to enjoy it. Thanks to all! Hopefully I will start contributing to this forum once...

Stealth: That's exactly right. I bought the car in TX (3% over invoice). Either fly there and drive it home or have it deliver. After checking with the airline, they suggested to have it deliver ($470 one way ticket!). With hotel and food factored in, deliver was pretty good option (door to...
