    How long does it take a CEL to clear

    I got a CEL to come on and it was code P0673, #3 glow plug. I checked the resistances of all 4 and #3 showed infinite resistance, so I knew it was bad. The other 3 all measured about 0.5 ohms. After changing it, the CEL is still on. I haven't checked for any more codes, but how long does it...

    What kind of connection is this?

    While changing oil today in my '06 TDI, I noticed an oily residue on this connection. It is located on the drivers side right behind the radiator down at the bottom. Looks like it may be a gasket or o-ring seal leaking oil. Can anyone identify what this is? [/IMG]

The ones I saw in Walmart looked like...

    Getting MP3 song titles to show on display

    '06 TDI EPA mileage ratings

    \'06 TDI EPA mileage ratings I was at my local dealer today and saw two '06 TDIs on the lot. Both stickers had 36/41 for the mileage rating. So, it looks like they have dropped the highway rating from 43 for the '05.5 to 41 for the '06. Both TDIs had 5 speed manual transmissions. I wonder...

    New Jetta fuel consumption

    Does anyone know what the EPA fuel consumption will be on the new Jetta TDI's. I suspect that the new models, being heavier, will probably get less mileage than the current models. Thanks
