    Anyone have any rumors on the GTD Golf coming to the US?

    I wouldn't give up on this. I want one of these to replace my heavily modified, 2000 Golf TDI which has nearly 200,000 miles on it. Right now, I'm on vacation in Germany. I went to Autostadt in Wolfsburg yesterday and asked about this. While they were quite receptive, they gave me the full on...

    Driving Tour of Germany: Suggestions?

    Yeah, I'm still here. But then again, I haven't been driving the Golf too much lately - maybe once a week. I used to have to buy new tires every six months. It's been over two years now since I've bought any tires and there's plenty of tread still left. It seems like I refuel about once a month...

    Official: SFBA Dyno Day 4/10

    I'll catch up with you guys in San Ramon. Hillsdale Mall's kinda outta the way for me. I'll stop by the Store along the way for potluck munchies. Reinstalled my tuning box today and didn't notice any power gains or increase in smoke. Exhaust temps didn't increase either. CEL came on faster than...

    quick question: how to dyno the TDI

    Last time I did mine in third. I think it doesn't really matter if you're in third or fourth. The trick is to maximize the turbo boost.

    Official: SFBA Dyno Day 4/10

    Yeah, so I'm often outta the loop. Anyway, My Danish .205s, or whatever they are, have about 60K on them. Do these things ever need cleaning? The originals had quite a bit of soot on them when I swapped them out. I've still got my original .184s sitting in a box. Can I get new nozzles for...

    MECHANIC in SF Bay Area - Santa Cruz - Upsolute ??

    I think Emotion Garage in Santa Clara does Upsolute. The best VW mechanic I know of is Chris Lagatutta. He owns Autowerkstat on Blossom Hill near Snell. You can also try Bugformance in San Jose and Volks Cafe in Santa Cruz.

    Intermittent brake light failure

    So the glow plug light started flashing then it went out. Then I found out my brake lights weren't working all of the time. So I pull the switch out and it works fine when I check for continuity. So I stick it back in and the brake lights work fine. Then the stupid glow plug light starts...

    Seattle BioDiesel GTG- final thread.

    Hey, does anybody have Pete's (Drive By Wire) or Heinz's address? I'm trying to get some parts (water pump and screws, etc.) sent up that way from Jim Royston at Diesel Geek in order to do a timing belt swap but it's kinda hard to get the stuff sent up that way when I don't know of any addresses...
