Do you have a website ? Do not need at this time , and future is a little muddy - have auto trans , but bought most of the parts for manual swap from someone on this site . So do not want to have at backup for auto - no telling how long it will last , old-farters / and no shop , garage space is...

About one yr. after buying car 2003 Jetta wagon , I noticed a folddown thing between the rear view mirror & windshield about 2 inches from top of windshield . It is about 1 inch high by about 5 inches wide - looks to have a light sensor in the center facing forward - in the fold down position ...

" Murphy Rules " is trying to lay claim to the car - and playing ugly - putting you on crutches ;) 1st off , you do not have a cam sensor , but it should have a crank sensor - it would be located on top of the transmission . Do a search for crank sensor - to get a look at one to see what your...

I found a NIB but 2nd frost / engine heater , but haven't installed yet , part of the reason is that it was for a manual , I have an AT , but also bought most of the parts for a MT swap . Have not found info on what the difference is , seems to me that either would install to the same...

" ruff idle for a minute or so , with blue-gray smoke " The smoke part is less than the ruff idle - just a few seconds .

Well I did adjust the timing , a little high about 62* , and the temps were too warm for glow plugs , and with fuel lines replaced with typical black rubber vs. the one clear to watch for bubbles . Now the temps are back down to a range where glow plugs operate , the car starts faster . Changing...

I do not remember dates , and fuel has change some , like ultra low sulphur diesel , it may have been just before ULSD , that using something like 50-70% brought...
