    fuel pump woes

    Hello A3 group. I have a '98 Jetta TDi. My fuel pump has recently started to leak some fuel, I believe through the gaskets??? I'm not entirely sure what is wrong or how desperate the situation is. The car still runs fine, but has a smell of unburnt fuel when driven. What's wrong? and what...

    Price of Biodiesel v Diesel....

    My question to the forum is this. As soybeans moved up in price last winter and this spring, we were told that incrases in biodiesel price were due to the increased price paid for the feedstock, whether that be yellow grease or virgin soy. My memory [and quick check of cbot data] confirms that...

    price for new grille badge

    Well, I was treated to the nice surprise of having the badge 'vw' stolen out of my grill today. Does anyone know what these run? Is there any way to secure them any better than they are? They didn't break things up terribly in getting it out. It looks like it unscrews and pops out pretty...

    NY Times.. Diesel VS Hybrid

    Is there any room to actually want diesel and hybrid technology? I think both are pretty smart technologies and would like to utilize both of them, especially a serial hybrid.

    Call Goes Out for Speed Limits on Autobahn

    Well, complain as you will, I think either way it goes it's just semantics. Last time I drove on the autobahn it was more destaut than it was flowing. I think I drove faster (on average) in Spain by far.

    First Impressions: Up Stage 3 Kit

    Sounds like quite the testing circuit. I live in Pasadena, so your description of the urban warfare and barstow drive were familiar. One question for you. I'm very interested in this Up 3 setup, but listen with a little concern about a few things. One, what are those type of exhaust gas...

    VW hoping gasoline price spike will increase sales

    I personally don't know why they put refineries in someone else's back yard. If I were in the refining business, I would put my refinery halfway across the pacific. ship the crude to it, turn it into carbob, and move it on its way to cali. ie, collect the cali premium without having to do the...

    VW hoping gasoline price spike will increase sales

    I understand the need for refining capacity, because we all drive cars on this board at least. But refineries are definitely not something you want to call a neighbour. pretty smelly and polluting. But how would you know? THere aren't any down in SD. We refine all your gas/diesel up in LA.
