    m-tdi potential?

    what are the M-Tdi guys squeezing out of their 1.9's that are running a mechanical pump? This would be for an engine that is still reasonably streetable. *not having to wait several seconds for the turbo to 'light up' just to move the car... I've read a few posts where...

    finding/choosing a good ALH

    On the hunt for an ALH. This is my first crack at VW's. I'm going to swap it into my Toyota. I've found several fairly close, already out of the car. It'd be pretty tough to 'listen' to it run. About all can do as a potential buyer is turn it over by hand and see if it...

    vin 5th digit...

    'F' or 'P'? Doing a search for used tdi's.. I was prompted for either F or P in my choices. It was in both automatic and manual versions. when I clicked one or the other, pretty much came up with the same list of engines.. so really made no difference in...
