This TDI was my show car for 2 years before I got my classsic Chevy.I drove the car daily for 2.5 years now, and it's never given me any issues. My brother and I have done most of the work on it. It's got about 97K miles and runs like new. Anything we couldn't do was done by Phil at European...

Well, I had my brother take the car in to fix the AC yesterday. He installed the new compressor and the accumulator ($325). While pulling the accumulator, the line from the condensor was pretty much rusted on and ended up getting twisted up and now I had to order the condensor ($177) and he...

At what mileage did your AUTO tranny die? 50-100K? 100-125K? 125-150K? 150-200K? 200K+?

Well, I thought it was good that the A/C compressor was replaced under warranty less than 2 years ago, but once again the VW dealer has failed me and put crap in my car. Thanks to them I have no A/C and the thermometer in my g/f's car read 107 yesterday! I now have 2 questions. First, how hard...

I have a CEL on for glowplug #1 again. Last time I got a CEL for GP#1 and the collant temp sensor. Well, I replaced those... and that was only 4 months ago! I actually replaced all the glow plugs and the sensor. Yesterday, when I was driving, The CEL came back saying GP#1 was not working. Should...

My question is reguarding this fix: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=149433&highlight=shudder+valve Do you happen to know if that was a 1/8NPT like the ones that come with the boost gauges? I'm doing some work on my vacuum lines this weekend, and want to be prepared in case this...

I just need the door for a Black/Charcoal gray (whatever it is that matches the upper dash on a 2002 Jetta. Anyone parting a car or know where I can get one?

I just want to confirm that I'm getting the right parts here. I need a coolant temp sensor and probably will get a set of glowplugs. I have 87K on mine, and they are original plugs and I have an intermittent signal on the #1 plug and the coolant sensor. Is this the correct temp sensor...

I don't get this and I'm just not sure where to look. First off, the car sort of shorts out when you turn it off sometimes. I'll know cause it won't honk when I lock it with the key. The doors lock, but the alarm doesn't sound. At that point I'll have to unlock the driver's door with the key...

Anyone see this deal up on Ebay? I don't think I've seen a 2.5 TDI Audi before! http://cgi.ebay.com/1994-AUDI-A6-2-5-TDI-SE-GREEN-Non-Runner_W0QQitemZ160069346443QQihZ006QQcategoryZ9835QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160069346443

When I lock the car, it usually works but every once in a while the locks lock but the alarm doesn't sound. At that point I can't unlock the car with the key at all (I posted this under a thread a while ago "immobilizer or ignition switch". Anyways, I'm thinking a relay for the locks or remote...

I have an issue that I'm not sure if the car is shorting or the ignition switch needs replaced. I noticed this when I tried to lock the car with the remote. The car locked, but no alarm. Then, I opened the door with the key and turned the key to the on position - the clock dimmed. I tried to...

I'm not sure what this is, but I Vag'd the car and with the 32768, the EGR was at 85%, which from what I've read was right. with the 33768, the EGR is at 40%, from what I've read, this should be about 4%. 33768 was the highest value it would accept (it has a RC2 and PP357 injectors with an...

I don't want any comments in this thread if possible, just the following information: Current Mileage: (How long the engine lasted so far) Oil Change interval: (what you usually try to do) Modified engine: chip, injectors, (just put "etc." if there's more) I'm basically trying to find what...

When I have the headlights on at night, most of the time when I hit the brake pedal, the headlights flicker off, then back on. Once in a while it's bad enough to kill the radio or turn on the ebrake/abs lights. Does this make any sense at all? Where should I start? Would the brake switch going...
