    Auto owners. how many miles on your stock transmission?

    99,000 on 2001 Jetta. It hesitates ever so slightly when engaging in drive or reverse. Otherwise it works great. I'm going to set my code to 00011 and set how it does.

    How many gallons

    Please explain venting. Is it possible to vent a 2001 Jetta? I don't see any valve as mentioned on other posts. Maybe a PO removed mine.

    Air bubbles in fuel line coming from fuel filter?

    There are probably more, but I know of a couple of causes. You could have an air leak in the fuel system, probably at the o ring on the fuel filter, leaking and letting in air. Another cause is when the timing is way advanced it will caused air bubbles. It did in my car. Once I got the...

    DMV Registration for a Gas to Diesel Conversion in North Carolina (NC)

    I think I should go down to the local "friendly" DMV and see what they tell me. There are two offices within 10 miles of my home and one will frequently do what the other one says can't be done! What Jim did with his (in the thread above) seems logical and if it worked in central NC, it is...

    Has anyone ever done the chain of paperwork through the NC DMV when converting a vehicle already registered in NC? My son in law has a Toyota Tundra with a bad engine soooo you all know what I've been thinking!

    Center console and arm rest upgrade ideas

    I don't like the center console in my 2001 either. I understand that with enough time/moneys anything is possible, but are the 2005 + console a direct bolt in?

    Mysterious felt tape suddenly appeared

    It probably is coming out of the heater vents. There is a foam around the doors that open and close to direct the heat to the position you have selected (vents, floor, vents & floor etc). You'll find a lot of people on here, me included, that have the same problem. If you do a search there is...

    MK4 Jetta Fuel Filter Question, Newbie

    Just remembered that I didn't state that I have to keep the CTS unplugged and to cycle the GP when cold, for the car to start as good as it does. With the new sensor plugged in I can't get it to start. Has anyone else tried this type of filter with the permanent tee? Did it work fine in hot...

    MK4 Jetta Fuel Filter Question, Newbie

    Thanks for the fast reply craig01b! I'll try the o rings first. The filter canister doesn't look that old. Would it hurt to try this Beck Arnly filter with the permant tee in your opinion? I did try tightening the hold down bolt on the injector, but it was very snug already and I know they...

    Hello Everyone: Please forgive this long post. I have already learned A TON of information by reading for hours on this forum. I'm now very frustrated and need some help.
