After having 4 ALHs I fell into a 2003 5 speed ALH Jetta. 220K easy miles.
Now to get VAGCOM up and going again. I think this one we (my 16 year old) and I are going to try to squeeze a little more out of it.
I have come to the conclusion that I have an issue with the CP4.x pumps. I have been holding off purchases of diesels (trucks and VW) due to the pump.
Went out and bought a 2015 RAM Cummins with a CP3 pump just so I didn't have to get a CP4 pump.
Am I the only one that has an issue with...

Interesting note:
To shed another negative image of the diesel engines as loud, Mazda said it has developed a brand new technology that reduces the "knocking" sound unique to diesels by installing a hollow...
Been awhile since I have done this. So good vender for a MAF sensor for a 2002 manual and the coolant sensor on the back side of the motor, I know there was a green and a black. I think I need the green?
Thanks!
Sold number 3 of 4 ALHs, last one I gave to my mother to drive. So I am out of VW.
Thanks, it was a good run. But I am officially out of VW and TDIs.
Pick up a new 2015 3500 Cummins this Friday to replace my 1998 12V so we have plenty of diesels in the family but the TDI hasn't progressed...

I think they have either the diesel part wrong or the displacement, the GM diesel is 2.0L not 1.4L. The 1.4L is a gasoline engine.
General Motors said on Friday that it had told its dealers to stop selling Chevrolet Cruze small cars equipped with 1.4-liter...
Have diesel's lost their advantage? Seems like in a light duty application that gas (direct injected, turbo) are cheaper to run and easier to maintain that their diesel counter part?
Looking at the numbers its tough to justify from a cost perspective.:cool:
Interesting, a NEW 1998 TDI bug with a 5 speed. Not mine, just figured others would find it interesting.

As luck would have it I found the leak in my AC system, the top of the drier is broke off. I have no idea where it goes, IE what do I need to replace. I assume it goes to the condenser? Is this just a single line or do I need to replace the condenser?
Plan is to replace the drier and top...
Every winter I block up the upper and lower radiator, this winter I am thinking about blocking up the Intercooler also. I have been monitoring my water temps through VAG and notice that I don't hold coolant temp very well when it is 20F or below. Intake air is right at or below 32F at 75 MPH...
Another year and the ALHs are still kicking butt. 3 years ago I was hoping to have 3 new Common Rail TDIs in the stable.... thus the ALH post, I'm still here and having a ball. Found a junked $100 1.8T with leather and heated seats and converted my GL. So I have a little better class in my...
I was given a 2002 with a bad 1.8T motor GLS with leather. I want to swap the leather over but how much work is it to swap the multifunction leather wrapped steering wheel and things like the power windows as my GL has crank windows. also is the wiring in place for the heated seats in my GL if...
I found a cheap wagon with a blown auto. How much work is it to take the 5 speed from my higher mileage sedan and swapping it into the auto?
Thanks in advance.
