Need local guru information It has been awhile since I have posted but am in need of a guru to help with seal replacement for injector pump on my 2001 Jetta TDI. It could also be the pump itself. Any help is appreciated.

I have bought my 2001 new and it has 275k and am actually contemplating buying a 2013 or 2014 Passat SE to replace it due to the great value right now. The prices around here at various dealerships are 16-18k depending on the options. When the fix comes out I can then decide what is best for...

Sale pending.

Thanks for the heads up on that as I will try to see if I can get it covered.

I bought this car new and am looking to sell. I have all service records and my car has been looked at by a local guru. The timing belt has been changed twice and the intake recently cleaned as well as a new MAF. It needs front brakes and bearings and has minor surface rust on both front...

The dreaded airbag light has been an issue with a few of my TDI's including the 2006 Golf I just bought. I have no warranty so I am hoping it will be an easy fix.

Timing belt I just bought a 2006 Golf that has 64k miles. The vehicle was undriven for the most part of the past 2 years. I changed all the fluids as well as the filters but was wondering if I should change the timing belt before 80k miles. Thoughts?

Sounds like MAF to me.

I had a body shop check it out and he said it did not look like it had been in accident. The last owner may have debadged it.

Thanks for the reply. It is always hard to get rid of a vehicle you have owned for 10 years and wanted to drive it until the wheels fall off!

I recently purchased a 2006 Golf GLS, 5 speed, 64k miles to replace my 2001 Jetta GLS, 5 speeed with 180k miles. I am now having second thoughts and am thinking maybe I should keep the 2001. The 2001 has a little rust in the front wheel wells and could be fixed for $800 otherwise it is in good...

I had a quick question and it may be ignorant but here it goes. I am looking to purchase a 2006 Golf TDI and was wondering if all TDI's in this year had the TDI emblem in the back? I am looking to buy a used one and it does not have the emblem so I want to make sure there was no body damage and...

Timing belt was done 2x already and I would have all service records. What would I be looking at for a cam replacement on average with labor if I used a guru in my area?

Thank you for the advice. I am going to have the 5spd checked for the cam first and then make a decision. If it checks out I am thinking it is almost 1/2 the price after the tb I may go with the 5 speed.

I have a chance to buy a tdi from my wifes company and was wondering which would be a better deal. 06 Jetta dsg 85k miles needs timing belt done for 11k or 2006 Jetta 5spd 190k miles with tb done as well as flywheel done for $6750. Thoughts? The reason I as is I have always owned 5 speeds only...

I know the flashing glow plug light issue has been beaten to death but I have a question. My replaced the switch and my brake lights and cruise do not work. Does this mean the issue could still be any of the issues listed above? I do not have a Vag Com to pull the code right now. One more thing...

Deafbug Glad to see that you are available for some light service. Send me an e-mail and we can discuss a few minor things I would like to get done. wadeley@gmail.com

Code P0101 Steve I also have a 2000 Golf and am having the same issues. I do not have a Vagcom but I went to Autozone and used their OBD and the code was P0101. My issue starts right after starting the car as I try to accelerate it seems to bog down before finally picking up some speed. It runs...

linkage I just replaced the linkage today on my 2000 Golf. I bought a new linkage from tdiparts.com and when doing the repair I found out I needed to take the motor off the linkage and I also needed to use a few parts from the old linkage. It wasn't too difficult but I wish the part included...
