Yeah, that really does look like WVO. I put over 100,000 miles on my 300D on WVO and that looks just like cold, not very well filtered WVO. Odd that it's only in the pickup area. Hope it's fixed for good.

At this point, I'd check every connection, and clean them as well. The two battery posts, the starter and alt. cable connections as well as the main ground on the bell housing. Faulty connections are a major player. A little trick I've learned when the battery is marginal (sounds like your's...

I just replaced the alternator last night (that's what prompted this post) so I sure hope the alternator is ok. I was cursing the engineers for how they placed the alternator. So, is there a relay that triggers the alt. and does the battery warning lamp have any effect on the alt being...

I searched but didn't find anything that helped, so I'm hoping that you folks can help me get my car on the road. I'll give you as much info as I can, forgive the length. 99 Golf TDI, 250K. New Napa battery in the spring (I didn't skimp, I want to say it was pushing $200) It's cold here...

Thanks very much for the clarification. I had a ton of air this morning, I didn't look at that this afternoon because, quite frankly, I was surprised it started and wanted to drive it. I'll check later tonight when I go to shovel snow for the 5th time today. I did replace the two o-rings...

Thanks for the replies. The rear of the head under what I understand is the vacuum pump. I sprayed that area off under that pump and it's staying dry. I just started it and drove it about 20 miles and all seems to be ok, but tomorrow morning will be telling. Thanks a lot folks, I...

I did a lot of searching, and that was my downfall. There's so much information out there, and lots of it was conflicting. So, I'm just going to type my specifics here in the hopes that someone can help me out. 99 Golf, TDI, 250K miles Friday I'm driving to work and after about 11 miles it...

Seller: ThatGuyWithTheTDI Date of Transaction: April 2013 Feedback: Negative Comments: I purchased a set of Bentley manuals for Golf. He said they were packaged well, but there were two full-sized manuals in a brown paper envelope! The package ripped and the manuals came out of the package...

Seller: Jay87 Date of Transaction: 15th October 2013 Feedback: Very Positive! Comments: Jay shipped within hours of payment. Parts were exactly as described.

I'm interested in the hose from the upper intercooler pipe to the EGR Cooler (sorry, I'm not 100% on the terminology). What interior parts are still available? I'm in Fenton, don't think you'll need to ship the interior stuff if it's still available.

Are you asking about the removal, or dissabling them? If anyone here has the Bently they might be able to give you a clearer understanding/more detail. To disable them typically you remove the batt cables, some (Ford?) say to tape them together for 5-10 minutes, then remove them.

If those fall through, I'll give you $65 shipped. Shoot me a PM, and maybe an e-mail at tracyDOTpospeshilATgmailDOTcom

No problem Jim. Glad someone could use it.

Thanks oilhammer. I'll check that out. The first thing I'd do (after checking the real simple stuff like fuses and relays) would have been to see if power was even getting to the bulbs and I suppose that would point me in that direction.

No, pulling back or pushing forward does not make them come on. There's no indicator in the dash either. I don't have time too do much during the week to do anything more than put diesel in the tank, but this weekend I'm going to start poking around. Can anyone tell me where the relay for the...

Yeah, now that they are aimed almost correctly, they are very nice. And no, my high-beam indicator does not work.

So, either everybody on this board is stumped, or? Maybe I should do a write-up when I get it wired correctly in case someone else runs into this in the future.

No problem. I just shipped it via usps, the receipt shows Thursday as the expected deliver date. I put the tracking number on paypal, I didn't know if I should post it here because it might show anyone both of our addresses?

Just got my first TDI a few weeks ago. The previous owner installed "European headlights and Euro headlight switch" but that's all I know. I found some installation instructions (French) in the glove box. They were from Bosch, so that's a good sign that they are good quality. The light...

It's in good shape. Since you sent payment before I got pics, if you don't like it just let me know, I'll refund the money. I only took it out because I put a double DIN radio it. I miss it already haha. It'll be in the mail tomorrow morning if not tonight after work.
