Hi all. My brother gave me his 2006 jetta TDI, 187,000 miles, overdue for timing belt change and some other work needed, looking for a mechanic, have cash
do the 3 liter V6 TDI's suffer from intake carbon clogging like the older 4 cylinder models and should one install an oil separator on the crankcase vent? (don't know if it has one)
just bought an Audi Q5 with 39K miles on it, had many other VW TDI's but never the 3 liter. mine has had the fix done so what other issues will get me soon. Since I never drove a 3 liter TDI before the fix and this one does not seem to have any hesitation in throttle response like I have read...
it is leased, if I reads that the problems are happening big time it will go back at the end of the lease, wanted the 2 door which was not available with the TDI
this whole thing makes me glad the 2015 golf I just bought 4 months ago has the 1.8 TSI engine instead of a TDI
and I just confirmed that it gets just over 40 MPG on the highway at 75 mph
will I get banned now?
Some large truck diesels (Volvo for one) have had an exhaust driven turbine geared to the crankshaft to reclaim a claimed 10 to 15 hp for years, cannot remember if upstream or downstream from the turbocharger
I am going to look at a 2010 Touareg TDI tomorrow. It has 37000 miles on it, what should I look for and can anyone tell me if the radio plays mp3 files?
Has a completely different radio than my 2010 jetta did
having had to use my "doughnut" spare tire at 3000 miles, yes it is narrower than normal tires, but it is the same diameter so that the stability control still works and does not give you annoying warnings all the time, and yes, a full size wheel and tire will fit in the spare tire well
