From your description, my car, a 2005 TDI-PD Passat Wagon, is having a similar problem. I am watching this discussion with interest. I have a K&N air filter and my working theory was that I had a little filter oil on my MAF causing intermittent reading problems. I was going to clean an change...

Thanks for the nice words fellas. BlueBug, the fender removal is a bit of a pain but is the only way to do the work right. Make sure you have the right Torq tips - there's a bunch of screws to take off. I used my DeWalt cordless drill and a bunch of 1/4 inch extensions for some of the...

I have not had the beetle on any long trips with the paraglider motor on the back but I'm sure it would create quite a drag penalty. I have not broken the 40 mpg barrier (high 30s still). The car has almost 5000 miles on it now so I am thinking it is not fully broken in yet and I am burning...

Anyone know where to pickup a good, used and running 1.9 TDI for an engine swap? I would also settle for a 1.6 TD if it's in good shape and resonable. E-mail me at lafeb@aol.com. THANKS!

"Flybug Victor Whiskey you are cleared for takeoff runway two-zero…" Seriously, though, here is one application beyond towing a trailer that my new receiver hitch system can be used for. It is the motor part of my powered paraglider system. I built a platform that slides into my trailer hitch...

About a month ago I was looking for a source for good trailer hitches for my Beetle TDI since I want to pull my Sea-doo and make a rack for my bikes that would use a receiver hitch style hookup. What is on the market now is pretty sorry. The Draw-tite system is weak. The holes through the...

Here's something someone has done with a 1.9 TDI. Excellent idea! http://www.geocities.com/Baja/2725/zukinni.html

Yep, most of the material in the cross tube I used was 1/8 wall 2 inch square tube. The down tube is made from 1/4 wall 2 inch square tube because the ID is exactly 1 1/2 inches when you remove the internal seam on the steel. The tongue tube is 1 1/2 OD which makes for a very nice snug fit...

Well, finally I have photos ready to go online for the vertical hitch design I mentioned in an earlier post. First, here is how the hitch looks with the (almost finished) tongue installed on my very dirty red NB TDI. The top of the tongue is 12 1/2 inches from the ground, which is correct...

Okay, here is something that could cure all cold weather driving related problems that heated seats and a brand new set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 snow tires can't. http://www.espar.com/htm/Specs/water/wterheat.htm This baby will keep your car warm, clear you windshield, probably clear your...

I have no URL to list and am a bit unsure about how to post photos. If you want photos, e-mail lafeb@aol.com and I will send them to you. If someone can give me a few tips on getting these onto the board I can do that too. By the way, Walla Walla is in south eastern Washington state, south of...

Utah looks positive for me but I need a firm date to plan on. We're gonna need to get time off to do the deed. What works well for us is the first weekend in September. Will that work for others? ------------------ 2001 Beetle TDI
