This car has been my commuter for about 4 years... I'm an honest guy, so here's the anti-sales pitch: motor and mechanicals are strong (as far as an amateur like me can tell) I've never had the TB done, so I have no idea how long it's been the body is rusting out... some trim bits are missing...

hmmm... no gurgling. I can only hear it in certain speed ranges... 70-110 km/h in particular. I'm going to do a thorough check of the tires and pressures - and try to not to get frostbitten in the process! ;) Thanks all for your help.

My 97 Jetta TDI has developed a low whine or hum that increases with speed (not revs). It sounds like I've got winter tires on - but I don't. Does this sound like a wheel bearing? Something else?

Thanks, rdkern... I haven't been able to reply since I was locked out of my account for some reason... Anyway to answer your questions: Air filter looks fine - but I'm going to replace it this weekend anyway. Intake clogged? I don't think so. Not noticeably, anyway. Haven't tried cleaning the...

I've done all the searching and reading about MAF, smoke and low power that I can - I just need your help to pull it all together. Symptoms: lots of black smoke under medium/hard acceleration. lack of power in the upper range. (not limp mode - dealt with that last year with a new N75)...

Hey folks, I need to perform the steps described here: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=75959 If anyone in the KW/Cambridge area has done this before - and has the necessary tools - I'd appreciate the help. Unfortunately, I'm a bit pressed for time too. The car is going into the...

I see this from time to time when I have to cycle the engine at speed to get out of limp mode... if I cycle the key too quickly, the engine restarts with out the key going all the way to 'start' with the side-effect of the parking-brake light staying dimly. don't know if that helps you...

No - it was in tip-top shape, and I was in a hurry - but now that I'm still going into limp mode, I'll go back and do it anyway... ;) No, not exactly clear on how I'm supposed to do that...

So I finally got around to replacing all my lines... since I'm a bonehead and ordered the lengths listed in this thread (I have an A3, not a B4) I have more left over than usual... Most of the black lines were fairly straightforward 'cept for those factory clips! The red & blue lines, however...

Finally took the 40 minute detour to TTT for my first tank of Bio... Folks are indeed friendly and you just can't beat the price! I need to get myself some cans so I don't have to go out there for every fill-up... The only cans I can find to buy are 20L (@ Cdn Tire, TSC, etc.) - is there...

Woody Jetta! I'm really sorry, but I just CAN'T resist any longer...

A concept woody Jetta... ;)

No problem.:)

couldn't think of a better place to put this... If anyone wants an avatar like mine, let me know... I can do different colours, too...

I hate the fact that the other manufacturers don't bring their diesels here... I wonder how crazy expensive it would be to import, say, a diesel Chrysler minivan from Germany, for example - even a used one. (the growing family won't fit in anything at my VW dealership...) Any one have any...

Funny, I was just about to post about a honking sound... :) Mine comes when I start the car, though, and it's somewhere between a squawk and a screech. It lasts for about a second and doesn't seem to be realted to anything - sometimes it'll happen 3 or 4 starts in a row - and nothing for a...

A woody TDI! Sorry about hijacking your thread, but I just had to share... The first time I read the title of this thread - I immediately pictured a 'woody' TDI - y'know with the wood bits on the outside...:D Sorry, now back to regularly scheduled buying and selling...
