Egos are expensive!!! I'm selling my great little car and looking for an E300!!!! Just changed the timing belt and fuel filter at 55k. Currently has 67K now. All records and receipts have been kept. White/lt-gray interior, AM/FM cass., perfect condition inside and out. No dents, scratches...

All connections appear tight. I'm crossed between the idea that maybe some plates in the battery might be cracked at the connection or an anti-theft mode in the alarm has been set. I've set off the alarm by accident before, but usually reset it before finding the full extent of its protection...

This morning is the second time this has happened in a week. I go out to the car and find that it is completely shutdown. I manually unlock the door, reshut the door and the horn beeps one time, then everything turns back on. The trip meter, the clock, and the radio are reset. Has anyone...

So, by the responses posted you obviously do not like this idea about a Username ID? I just thought it would be cool to see a TDI go by and recognize that you have read something by this person. [This message has been edited by Sparky (edited June 12, 2000).]

Often times when I'm driving, I see another TDI. That person gives a thumbs-up or an excited wave. I wave back and then wonder if this person is someone that has either read any of my postings or visa versa. I thought it would be interesting to see if any fellow forums readers would indentify...

I spoke to a Wal-Mart representative, and they are planning to stock US Wal-Marts with Mobil Delvac1 pretty soon.

98 Jetta TDI Likes: The handling and fuel mileage. Dislikes: The terrible carpet, cup holders, location of the intercooler, the rear brakes (they just love to howl at the first stop in the morning), most of all the carpet again. Oh, I forgot, that @#$! rattle from the exhaust that the...

Consider using the new Detroit Diesel engine for automotive use, or the Hercules engine that is already setup for Jeep Cherokee use. I am currently repowering a Jeep Cherokee with a turbo diesel.

Detroit Diesel is introducing a new series of automotive TDI diesels for repowering or new installations. They come in 1.4L, 1.9L, 2.5L , 3.8L V6, & 4.0 I6 configurations.

Back to the original topic of towing a Jetta TDI. I've been towing mine on "all four" since I bought it. It has been towed for nearly 10K miles behind my motorhome. And so far there hasn't been any problems. My parents have been towing an Acura Legand with an automatic for over 150K miles...

I've got that beat! I just pull my TDI behind my motohome. Why draft? Better yet, just have my wife drive my Suburban in front of me everywhere I go. That should save on fuel cost.... The 100th of a mpg that the antenna restricts is hardly worth the poor reception of an aftermarket, low...

I might consider selling my 98 TDI....

Poor Fred! He doesn't own a TDI and really wants one. Maybe, since all the TDI owners that have benefited from Fred's hard work with this website would donate a $5 contribution each, then Fred could trade up to the TDI of his choice. After all, Fred has been better to you than any of the...

I turn off my A/C at the button about three miles from the house. I also turn the fan on full-blast to dry the evaporator coils. This has helped stop most all of the smell at initial startup of the A/C.

I just called the 1-800 ASK Mobil, and the person that I spoke to stated Delvac 1 (synthetic) comes in only one vescosity, 5W-40. The price is around $24 a gallon and he did not recommend extended drain intervals like the "Big Rigs" use. The problem was finding it at a distributor that is at a...

Everyone keeps talking about "Glowplugs", but I believe the 98 TDIs use a heat grid located in the intake manifold at the intake port. Mine does not have anything other than the injectors screwed into the head. So I assume that it is using a grid
