    B4v - unstable at speed

    Did you mention the front strut tower bearings? bad bearing will make the car wander. I have a variant with 15" 205 kumhos and the tires are crappy. Makes the car pull to the side. I will have them replaced under warranty.

    Problems with B99....

    You did not mention any reduction in performance. The blending did it. Stay with b99 and you will be OK.

    100% Biod since 2003 and ...

    My understanding is that with aged biod (a year or more) it tends to become a little more acidic? and is capable of diluting the engine oil a little. I am either showing my ignorance and/or parroting some biodiesel hater's mantra. Please let me know if I am wrong. I usually forget to change...

    100% Biod since 2003 and ...

    I use biod up to one year or slightly over. Change engine oil a little more often and use Dieselcelan every now and then. How long would it take you to use 55 gallons?

    100% Biod since 2003 and ...

    I bought from Ward oil for several years. Would drive a truck down when I was in Tampa for business. 3 drums would last about 6 months. This is the place I get it from now. Probably too far for a Tampa delivery. http://www.fcbio.com/ I am a cyclist as well. Wonderful way to travel. Good...

    100% Biod since 2003 and ...

    No injection pump or nozzle work yet. All original stock. My B100 is usually from chicken fat or restaurant grease. In Gainesville we hit upper 20's close to a dozen times last year. Way to cold for B100 using that stock. Soy would work. Mostly city unless we are going on a trip. The passat...

    Vehicle logs - VAG com - what do they mean?

    Thanks again Tony. I will work on getting the logs. I replaced the line in the ECU and the N75 a while back. The car is not going into limp mode. I will check the turbo wastegate.

    Vehicle logs - VAG com - what do they mean?

    Tony, yes 96 passat. No code of any kind. I have read through the lower power thread and checked most of the vacuum lines (to ECU, N75, MAF, etc.) and all are OK. This does not appear to be a turbo boost issue.

    100% Biod since 2003 and ...

    Approx. 90,000 when I bought the cars (the variant from Harvieux) and now about 150,000. Fuel filter changes about 2-3 times the first several months, now about every two years. These cars have never seen ULSD, except maybe 20% dilution (B80) couple times in winter.

    Vehicle logs - VAG com - what do they mean?

    My Passat feels a little under powered. Local mechanic logged some runs. HELP, What do they mean. My mechanic does not specialize in TDIs, but he thought the logs were OK. Here are several. Any idea what could cause lack of power at high speeds. 5 gear at 80 mph - pedal to the floor -...
