Re: I guess it\'s my turn (HELP NEEDED) Sweet. I hope you guys are right..... I will check tonight, thanks. I drove about 5 miles in this condition, could that cause any permanent damage?

Re: I guess it\'s my turn (HELP NEEDED) BTW: 99.5 Jetta TDI w/ 45,000 miles 5 speed manual Delvac 1 since new Upsolute chip, no other engine mods.

I guess it\'s my turn (HELP NEEDED) My TDI went boom. Now I have a lovely 1 1/2 hour bus and train trek to work every day until I have some cash to fix it. Here's what happened. I am driving down the highway at about 75 or 80 mph and suddenly I hear this abrupt "PsshOOOOOO!" sound followed...

Say you are shifting between 2nd to 3rd gear. While in neutral inbetween, you give the throttle just the right amount of pressure to put the RPMs very close to where they will be when you engage 3rd gear at whatever speed you are at. Understand? It just means to make a seamless shift. You'll...

Two things: D4-D is Toyota's direct injectiom diesel engine. I am 100% positive of that. Many "jap-traps" do have a better suspension than the A4 chassis VW's. Don't be so quick to knock them. I love Volkswagen, but the A4's suspension is primitive at best and very softly sprung. Even a $9,000...

Re: SDI\'s?? I SERIOUSLY doubt that. Very seriously. Sounds like a load of BS to me.

It's been done. Toyota's D4-D diesel engines have variable valve timing and some others do too.

Re: SDI\'s?? <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You don't want an SDI, trust me. 68 hp in a 3000 lb car is not appropriate for American roads. You would get flattened by some yahoo in a 400 hp Escalade going 85 in the slow lane the first time you tried to get on a highway.

Re: A B100 Co-op in Berryville, VA - Who\'s Interested? I am 100% in on this Rich. DEFINITELY interested and ready. I have a friend with a TDI who is interested as well. I will talk to her today.

Re: \'02 TDI Jetta wagon...I\'ve got it! Cool! Welcome aboard. I guess now you can get rid of that Excursion.

<------- biting his lip and sighing.

No, it sounds like you need to chip. Actually it sounds like you need a VR6. Why did you even get a TDI if you are so power hungry? Didn't you read the part where it says "90 hp diesel engine"? Its right on the window sticker. Flooring a diesel with a drive-by-wire throttle is not going to...

GoFaster- My dealer and the parts dep't guy swore UP and DOWN that the new TB will not bolt onto a pre 2001 TDI and that it could "cause problems" and that I should not do it, could not do it etc. I would call bullsh1t on that, except so far these guys have been very honest and trustworthy...

1) Buy TDI PD engine in crate 2) Ship to U.S. 3) Pay skilled mechanic to illegally install motor in a U.S. TDI 4) You have a 150 hp PD TDI in the U.S. and no one is any the wiser. You can import JUST the engine, it's perfectly legal. With enough money you could drop it right into any Mk4 VW...

Still no answer to my question? Why am I not suprised. Well, I guess you've shown your true colors and proven everything I said up there about you is 100% right. You're all talk and no action.

That's it Skypoop, dodge the question again. If Skypoop is as wealthy as he professes to be, he would be able to either import just an engine and have it installed into one of his current cars or go through a registered importer to make the necessary changes and find the legal loopholes. But...

So Skypup, For the 200th time, why haven't you used some of your sizable financial endowment to buy a super euro diesel luxury car and your own 1000 gallon tank of biodiesel? Are you that much of an assclown that it is more fun for you to complain continually about the quality of fuel in this...

Is it just me or does this sound like something a gynecologist would use for examinations? hehehehe

I'm sorry. ULSD is not going to make a 20 year old garbage truck suddenly run like a Honda Insight. Old diesels are always going to belch some smoke. It's the age/crudeness of their design that is at fault there. Newer more advanced diesel engines run cleaner. A 2.7 liter Mercedes CDI seems to...
