The brackets I got from idparts.com didn't fit my 2002 (brazil) Golf. I got the 23mm kit and the bushings fit fine. However, the new black (hump in middle) brackets didn't fit even without bushing in them. The top of the bracket above the bolt hole hits the frame above. So I shaved the hump in...

I see many posts about the three main injection pump seal replacements (head, top, and middle). My question is about the other side, or timing belt/sprocket side. Is there a replaceable seal here where it mounts onto the bracket, and if so, is it included in one of the seal kits for sale? I've...

Thanks. I'm posting these for my friend/co-worker who is broke down in the desert near Palm Springs, CA (and also a Tdiclub member). He just found a part an hour away, and also found a ride there (before I received your replies). Thanks! Funny, we should have thought about posting this last...

Great! Good news. Does anyone think there will be any damage to the steering system, injectors? Thanks

How long/far/kind-of driving do people think you can do on a late '99 Jetta tdi without the serpentine belt on (cooling pump, a/c, p/s, alternator)?

I opened mine up and lubricated a brass looking knuckle that rotates back and forth - it was very stiff and not flipping forward every time when actuated. When it flips forward - it allows the handle to lift out all the way to open the door. If it keeps acting up - i'll get a junkyard part.

I'll be looking for a timing belt change around then too. Anyone coming who will work on those? also, another place to stay in helen is at my parents: www.lucillesmountaintopinn.com

awe man, that sucks! I thought him and Stokley's Service Center were the only shops in Mobile that would work well on these cars. He doesn't have a vag-com? sheesh. That is required for a TB change. Well we should cross him off our list. I don't know if Stokley's has any experience w/ TB's...

Should the engine be totally cold when pulling out these glow plugs? For example, I thought it was best to pull spark plugs out of aluminum heads when cold to avoid galling/stripping. Or does it matter?

there is a TSB for this: Of course, make sure the a/c is draining to the ground. (and not into passenger compartment, etc.) The following tools are recommended: (though I just did it w/ lysol bottle) Get a VAS 5106 applicator tool (looks like a 3 ft. long 1/2" diam. tube w/ air connection...

did you look in the beginning section... not the big engine chapter? i don't have mine with me now to check, but it didn't have an index, and it's near the very front under regular or scheduled maintenance or something.. they have the fuel filter in there. I didn't check for oil change. i...

. Alright! There are other warm tdi body's around here! TDIkook, or bayou_flyer, or anyone else around here have any big maintenence items coming up? Anything I could be a fly on the wall for, or active grease monkey to help-out/learn? Who has a good shop for tdi's nearby? Is Everett on...
