    ALH Engine - Oil in Break Booster Line

    Hard to shift: clutch/DMF?

    Okay, I have a 2002 Jetta TDI, ~116K miles. Last timing belt change was 70K. Last month my car wouldn't start. It was around 15F. It would start to crank, but barely and hard. Took the battery to AutoZone, they said it was iffy. I did notice it was a smaller battery than should have been in...

Yeah, I totaled my first TDI after having it for only two months- tire blew out going 70MPH on a highway, slid across the road and then flipped it a couple of times.

    Loud bang + smoke- What the *&(&##$ just happened?

    On Monday I picked up a 2002 Jetta TDI with an auto transmission and 117000 miles on it. It was running great until Thursday as I was leaving work. I was sitting at a red light, and when it turned green, I started accelerated as normal. Suddenly, I heard and felt a loud bang, along with seeing...
