This saved me hours of work and hundreds of dollars! Thank you! My 2002 Jetta, with 348000 km finally stopped charging. This thread helped me pull the old regulator off, and buy a replacement (knock-off) from my local garage for $75CAD. I could have bought one a lot cheaper online from...

I've been running mine on B100 for 6 months. I went cold turkey; one fill dinodiesel, the next fill B100. I get it from a small local producer who uses waste vegetable oil, and produces it with a BioPro 380. He sells it for about 10-15 cents per litre (40-60 cents per gal) cheaper than...

The GTD is my dream car! A diesel with sport performance. It would definitely be the number one car on my shopping list.

Winter Front Still Available at Roseland I just bought the winter front from Roseland, along with some other parts, and was very pleased with Brian Harrison's quick response time. Ordered on Tuesday, arrived on Friday by Canada Post with free shipping. I'll definitely look to Roseland for my...

Ditto that. I did mine this past weekend, my son did his Golf today. I took pictures, which I can hopefully get around to posting. http://www.shop3m.com/60455046502.html?WT.mc_ev=clickthrough&WT.mc_id=3M-com-GoogleOneBox-60455046502

For comparison, can anyone post pictures of PD injectors that have been run on dino-diesel for 140000 miles?

It won't help this thread much, since today is the last day of the warranty extension, but VWofCanada replaced the passenger-side heater with seat cover, along with the control switch. However, since they don't make the same black velour material anymore, they offered the seat covers that they...

I got the set at Part Source (www.partsource.ca). They take a deposit worth the retail price, and you can return it within a couple of days for a full refund. They have stores on Meirvale Rd, Bank St, and St Laurent Blvd.

Unfortunately you can only get the rebate on a high-efficiency furnace if you're replacing an operating one. One that has died means no rebate.

Bad example - the Sprinter has been made by Mercedes in Germany since 1995, and was imported to the US and Canada after 2001, and badged as Dodge or Freightliner.

I guess I feel lucky that the local dealership in Ottawa is selling OEM springs for my 2002 Jetta at $48.59 CAD each. I'll be installing them today. Thanks for the installation pointers.

The Source By Circuit City Still Carries the Door Switch #2750016 I just got back from The Source here in Ottawa, and found that they still carry the switch that Radio Shack used to carry. I decided to check it out when I priced the door latch mechanisms at the dealership, and both front left...

I know it won't apply directly to you, but I just paid $75 CAD for the pulley at the local VW Stealership.

My alternator overrunning clutch pulley decided to separate from my alternator this morning, after complaining for about an hour or two of driving. I would like to replace the pulley, and wanted to know if anyone in the Ottawa area has the proper pulley tool, like Part MN3400SET from Metalnerd...

This reminds me of another post that I saw this summer, where BrianCT had a little garden growing in there: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=141784 I checked mine out and there was some dirt, but not like yours.

I found that if I apply the brakes on my 02 Jetta and then blip the accelerator once, it revs slightly, then the ECU drops the revs back to idle, but if I immediately reapply the accelerator, the ECU gets fooled, and I can rev the engine up. I want to learn to heel/toe but in this car, it looks...
