    they're not TDI exclusive, but Eric and his crew are reliable, honest and back their work. I had to have my glow plugs replaced (all 4 for about $300 total including diagnostics) and 2 went bad within 500 mi after replacement, no questions, no hassle, replaced at no charge and the warranty...

    Glad I saw this thread.... what code did you pop on the cel? I am showing a P0102 code using a Bosch 1200 OBDII system _ but it does not have an 02 Golf in the vehicle list, so it's a straight OBDII code.

    Not new to the site, but returning after a fairly long absence... If you are in the PNW and need work done on your TDI... drive to Portland to have oldpoopie treat your engine right. I mean I moved from the East Coast because I needed a great TDI mechanic. Too bad I'm in Montana now.

    I'm an idiot - gas in the TDI, full tank

    Road Trip! Portland!

    Why were you putting gas in your TDI? I did that and it wasn't fun to fix... cost me a half rack of beer and a full day of relaxation due to the Labor day weekend. No problems, since I didn't start the beast after my major, nuclear brain fart, but I was extremely nervous and contrite.

I put 2 gallons of fresh diesel into the tank after we...
