Here you will find an un-touched, un-modded, no mysteries to reverse engineer, stock, virgin TDI.
Sadly saying good bye to an old friend.
All adventures chronicled here in my archived threads.
Daily driver. A fine machine that I will miss. :(...
Hi Pittsburgh - I'm in Harmarville - Cheswick - Springdale area - & looking for a fuel injection pump - rebuilt or whatever. 2001 Jetta TDI 230,000 miles - so not really excited to buy a $1000 part + labor. Any ideas? I don't mind getting one from somebody around the country but thought I...
primarily the fuel injector pump...
everything else is cosmetic and only if the opportunity is right - but, off the top of my head I would upgrade the front bumper, center console/armrest pieces, interior handles, trunk liner...
I'm in the Pittsburgh, PA area with a grounded 2001 Jetta TDI. I am looking for a fuel injector pump - preferably salvaged to keep cost down. At this point in my Jetta's life (240,000 miles) there are numerous pieces that I would be interested in salvaging and replacing on my car, so I thought...
Thanks Tom for your insight - much appreciated.
Update - I just had it looked at professionally and apparently it is the rack and not the power steering pump. They advised to ground it. Anyone disagree? Anything that can be done other than replacing the rack ($850?)...... The tech that just...
2001 Jetta TDI GLS 215,000 miles - Pittsburgh PA
less than a week ago I recognized the sound and feel of the power steering failing and against my better judgment I filled it up with cheap Advance Auto fluid and a 'Lucas Oil' power steering repair fluid. Fluid was draining out overnight so I...
Anyone in the Pittsburgh (15144) vicinity or within an hour drive?

Thanks -

The two fans were damaged in the following incident...
Should I keep repeating myself or is it OK to give another huge thanks to MOGolf, Growler and the forum contributors?
I was stunned to leave MOGolf's residence in this car with a new surge of power and not blowing black smoke. I was inspired to drag race a Dodge K car on the way home and won...
TDI surgery pre-op report
Nice to meet 2 genuinely competent and technically savvy gentlemen attending to my ailing TDI this weekend. MOGolf, with the demeanor and confidence of a surgeon, dismantled the TDI effortlessly, while his attending Growler, assured me that the TDI could not be in...
back on-line here and tomorrow i will post the pictures - thanks for all the help and advice- i will follow up with willing participants in hopes that this jetta see's the road again...
i will have the best luck moving it to the warehouse space i have - also, i don't think it would be unreasonable for me to donate some tools in addition to whatever this repair would cost... let me know what you think...
i also have a turbo that is not functioning and the other 2 problems that...
car is at motorkars right now - the garage at home is inaccessible... regardless, I would rather have it handled by experienced hands rather than my own... i heard there is a guy on Lincoln & Stelzer across from Pizza House that races TDI's that sometimes gets into these kind of projects -...
