    Finally got my own TDI. A 2001 New Beetle with 188K!!

    Hey village, I got it at 144,000 miles.. I have only put about 600 miles on it so far. I have removed the egr system and replaced it with a race pipe. I have plans to remove the egr cooler as well to free up some space. I have replaced all the vacuum lines, as that was the result of my limp...

    What did you pay for your TDI???

    Well I made a deal with my dad and traded him my international galaxy note 2 phone + $1000 for his 2001 beetle TDI with $140,000 miles. I think I came out on top. Good thing my dad. Owns more cars then he knows what to do with. Otherwise the deal wouldn't have been as sweet as it was. :D Sent...

    Hello everyone, Just providing a bit of an update. Those that own beetles know that there is not a ton of rim behind the egr. Well it was a beautiful day I out and I took on the job of installing my DG race pipe and cooker delete kit. As I had everything out I started replacing vacuum houses...

    Flashzilla? Borrow..

    My apologies! I was not aware, I live in an area where I do not have to deal with emission testing. I guess this thread needs to be deleted, feel free to mods. Sorry guys

    Deep zone egr race pipe???

    Thanks for the link...I will read more into it...I believe my egr system is faulty and didn't not want to pay the money to replace it when I could just delete the whole thing and gain some room on my beetle. Also plan on following the egr delete with a custom tune to fix the cel. Sent from my...

    Well here is a picture of the actual invoice with all the parts that were replaced listed. It was serviced on Feb of 2010...unfortunately can't find anywhere on the invoice where it states what the mileage was when it was fixed. I understand the car may still throw a code, but won't that be...

    So I have a local guy near me that has a vagcom and is going to help me get some logs and go in and disable the egr system as per the instructions that are in the starter post for newbies (me). Is it OK to go in their and disable it if I haven't taken the egr out yet. I plan on buying the egr...

    Vagcom tests?

    Hello all, I was just hoping to get some feedback from some of you TDI gurus out there. I have a 01 beetle TDI that has some turbo issues. I have been reading a lot of the threads and have a good idea where to start. I have found a guy really close to me that has a vagcom setup and he is...

    Thanks for the reply. Ya I live on the Oregon coast so I am hoping to find a guru in the Portland area! I was told that it is possible to block the egr or bypass it? Not sure if I am phrasing that correctly. But where I live we don't need to worry about emissions checks. I will look into the...
