UPDATE!!
My problem has returned. I finally just tried to put a higher amp mini fuse in place of the 10amp (I put a 15amp). It has worked without any problems for the last few years until I left my lights on and the battery died. After jumping the car, the fuse had blown! Swapped in another 15...
If you aren't super careful and you don't tension the tensioner just right, the notch on the tensioner can come out of the groove it sits in, thus loosing tension... I would pull the valve cover first and look for lifter damage, takes just a few mins to get that off... Good luck!
CoolAirVW would be the perfect person to ask this question too. We sent him a 98 or 99 valve body to rebuild and he told us it would work fine in an 03. Good luck!

Hi Stan,
We are a Malone dealer as well as Kerma TDI. You do need to pull the ECU and send it to Malone or Kerma (whomever you choose) for them to program the computer. We would just charge you an hour labor to pull the ECU and reinstall ($110), retail on the tune you want (Malone has different...

Doing a rebuilt torque converter at this point would just be a bandaid fix. I agree with 275K go with the reman unit. You've definitely gotten your moneys worth and you'll be able to go another 275!
Jeff can you please update my listing to Campbell, CA 95008. If its possible I'd like to change it to Alternative Solutions (our vendor name) too. Type of VCDS is still the same.
Thank you!

What I was saying was we NEVER registered or did business as "Good Guy's Biodiesal" anywhere. Its never been a real or fictious business name. We closed Good Guys Biodiesel in Santa Cruz and never reused the name. The internet claimed Good Guys was still open at our residence in Santa Clara...
I'm not sure what this name is above. Once we closed shop in Santa Cruz we closed out Good Guys Diesel & BioMechanics, LLC with the state and we never registered or opened again in that name, or any version of that name, anywhere.
I disappeared from the boards because I've been teaching full...
Nothing has been said since 2011 because I stated then that we had nothing to do with what happened with us, so I didn't think I needed to further defend us, and until just now we were unaware that people were still blaming/bad mouthing us for something we did not do. In addition, I teach full...
We never did mechanics under "Happy Planet Co-op" hence the "co-op" part. We are Alternative Solutions now, for those who are interested and would like to contact us regarding your TDI, and for everyone else, I would appreciate it if you all could find something else to gossip and talk trash...
