I guess it\'s my turn (HELP NEEDED)
My TDI went boom.
Now I have a lovely 1 1/2 hour bus and train trek to work every day until I have some cash to fix it.
Here's what happened.
I am driving down the highway at about 75 or 80 mph and suddenly I hear this abrupt "PsshOOOOOO!" sound followed...
I just got Shine'd last Friday and I've driven about 600 miles since then. All I can say is WOW!!!!
This kit is about getting the best practical performance on the road and being able to pull into a parking lot without leaving half your bumper behind.
If you are into bling-bling and rolling on...
What do you tire and wheel experts think. The thing is I have a line on some 16" 6.5 VW Rave wheels and I bought 225/50/16 tires to go on them.
These tires are one size wider than the 205 GTI tires that are normally fitted to the wheels. In your expert opinions, will this work and could it be a...
I am chipping my A4 jetta TDI.
I need a new clutch, current one has a bit of slip and I need a replacement.
Everyone seems to go with the VR6 clutch upgrade, personally if I am shelling out several hundred bucks, I would like something above and beyond VW OEM.
Do any of you all have any...
How does the UPsolute chip work precisely?
I am thinking of one, but I'd like to know exactly what it does as far as raising boost pressure from what psi to what? Injecting fuel etc... How far beyond the stock parameters does it go.
I tried a search on this and came up with 9 million upsolute...
I finally bit the bullet and I am going for some mild mods on my 99 1/2 TDI Jetta. I am heading up to Boston to have the Shine real street suspension installed and a better clutch and the diesel geek short shift kit.
I have a feeling after that I am going to want a chip...
Who can do it in the...
I was at Stohlman VW in Tysons Corner, VA today and I started making some small talk with one of the VW mechanics while retreieving my radio code so I could swap batteries.
According the the VW mechanic:
"The TDI has 22.5 to 1 compression, that's why they warm up so quick"
I see....
and...
Just dropped one in today. 800 CCA. Nice powerful quick start and it SEEMS to have solved the intermittent "warm start" problem I was having.
Optima red top is good $hit. Get one today.
Takes a little trickiness to get it in (the polarity is opposite of the OEM battery) so you have to wiggle...
I just finished a book called Getting the Bugs Out by David Kiley
It tells the history of Volkswagen in America from the startling success of the Beetle in the 1960's to the dark days of the 1980's and Volkswagen's rise to the top in the late 1990's.
Even if you are not interested in...

Some of you may remember the animated TDI gif that VW used to have on their website.
It was a swirling little orange circle that said....air...fuel..heat...TDI
Remember that?
I can't find it anywhere and it's making me crazy, already searched the forms and the internet. Does anyone have it!?
I did a forum search and came up empty handed.
Does anyone know the which engine codes go with which TDI motors.
Specifically I want to know what the older TDI engine in the B4/A3 Jetta and '98 Beetle was and what the newer motor with the variable vane turbo is.
One is AHU and one is ALH...
Wow! My dream vehicle and it's in CANADA! I never knew they sold this model there!
I would kill to bring this home.... SOMEBODY BUY THIS THING!

What\'s the approx 1/4 time for a stock TDI?
Simple question.
I tried searching the forums because I know it's been covered before, but I found nothing.
Anyone know?
I just want a realistic figure for a stock TDI, not one with a chip and mods etc.
Be sure and post on this thread if you are a Vortex member. Pitch in your two cents worth.
This guy is a former TDI club member who traded his TDI in apparently
