My son's car ('03 ALH wagon), just went nuts (dash lights). Luckily he was close to his GF's house. So, it's there, not in front of me. There is only one key/fob for this car. He tried the key on in the ignition trick, nothing. He tried disconnecting the battery and touching the terminals...

I just got a modified tune for my '04 BEW. I already have a stage 1 tune, so I have a Flashzilla with the original tune, and a stage 1. I got a new tune to delete the EGR, so I added it to my FZ. It's been a while since I did the original tune and I can't tell the difference between the 2...

So, I have been chasing a misfire for a while. Only at Start up (cold or warm) and at WOT. Tried a few different things (Harness, diesel purged a couple of times). Finally decided to get a spare injector to check it out. This is what I found: I apparently destroyed it when I installed...

Hi there TDI folks. I have some ALH parts for sale. Pulled from my sons crashed 2000 sedan. 240K O2J 5 speed. No clutch (PP was broken in 2 & this was an original according to the PO). Shifter box & cables, starter, wiring harness, coolant flange with glow plugs. The axles got bent, and...

Does anyone know if a rear wagon hatch will fit inside the rear of a wagon?:)

Hey Guys, got a strange noise going on with the wagon. It's a little intermittent, but when the clutch is all the way in, I hear a rhythmic "knocking noise" coming from the engine compartment. When it happens I can also sort of feel it in the clutch pedal. I'm kind of assuming it's the...

Set of 4- PD100 injectors ***sold*** ***Sold*** Just pulled from a parts car with ~250k. Car died from a turbo failure. Could be used as is (with new o-rings), or sent in to be refurbished/upgraded so you don't have any down time. Asking $175 shipped USPS priority.

Weird question about tuners... Does anyone know if a tuner (Malone, Kerma, etc.) can pull or see the SKC (secret key code) when they are doing the tuning?

'04 Jetta wagon, BEW PD engine. 222K on it. I have been working on my Jetta for a while now. I have replaced some parts in trying to get it to run better. The car has always started and run pretty well. It's now running really well. I had to run to the middle of Nebraska (Kearney) from...

I have my injectors out to be refurbished and I was pulling out the glow plugs today, just so I'm ready when they come back. I noticed that my glow plugs don't match. I have only replaced 1 since I took ownership. The PO had replaced one before I got it. The PO gave me 3 new GP's (and the...

I was messing around testing my tandem pump earlier today (while it was still somewhat cool). I was following Dan's great .pdf to check it out. I started with the wear test. According to his write up, I should get little to no flow with the engine off, lift pump powered up for 1 minute. His...

I was watching tv the other night and noticed that they were using a poor neglected blue MK4 sedan in their commercial as a bad deal used car... Complete with a trash-bag and duct tape rear window. Kind of funny, but not really.:mad:

I have been working through some deferred maintenance on my 220k BEW. Recently replaced the cam and timing belt. Car runs pretty great, mileage isn't as stellar as I would like (average ~37mpg). 1: My car pretty much always smokes at start up, cloud of diesel smoke. I was thinking I might...

So I was driving along today in the car ('04 PD BEW wagon), engine started to make what I would call a knocking noise. It sounded like a pretty severe exhaust leak. Took off the skid plate and got it up on stands. The noise is up top, I could really feel it in the intake pipe off the air box...

I hope everyone had a Happy & safe New Year! Winter time seems like the perfect time to talk about AC...;) I got my Jetta mid summer 2015. No AC. Previous owner had a shop figure out that he needed a new AC condenser last spring. I verified it by finding the big leak spot on the condenser...

Hey guys, I was hunting around at the junkyard today and found a ALH Jetta on the lot. I think it's only the second TDI I've ever seen in all my years of part hunting... Just curious, if there is a difference between the N75 and EGR solenoids on an ALH vs. BEW. I looked a bit at Idparts, and...

I snapped a pic of my timing cover for some second opinions. It looks like 775 in the box and maybe 2.2 below it? Anybody have an idea: I have been plying a bit with the torsion value. I have tried out -2.0, -1.0 and +1.0 Trying to get my fuel economy up a bit. I'm thinking of trying...

Howdy guys, I have been chasing a slight surging problem in my 2004 Jetta Wagon 1.9l TDI. I replaced all of the vacuum lines last week with some fancy silicone lines. As I was doing it, I thought it would be a good idea to check the turbo actuator. It seems to be working (the lever) and when...

Hey guys, I'm chasing a cam position sensor problem. (vcds 16725). 2004 bew pd wagon. I traced back the wires for the CPS. The black/green is the ground, it goes to the small ECU connector. I have tested it to be ok. The black/blue goes to the same ECU connector, it seems to be okay as...

I have VCDS and a Ross Tech cable. I had to use VAG Commander K+ 2.5 to retrieve the SKC out of my wife's 2004 Passat 1.8t to program a couple of new keys, it worked after switching computers. I run VCDS on a small HP tablet. I couldn't get the HP to recognize the VCDS cable in serial mode...
