    4 year bump for question about OEM vs Viton Hello fellow members. When I had my ALH Golf I had a TDI guru replace the stock OEM, twisty and kinky fuel lines with straight VITON. These are the lines from firewall to filter and filter to head. They worked normally and I felt a bit better about...

    Non 505.1 oil on pd (bew)

    Thanks for the quick response. I did notice the "OR" in his recommendation. The confusion lied in what looked like a negative suggestion, ie don't change under either circumstance (less than 10-15K miles or 2 years). My mistake. It's a whichever comes first suggestion, which makes sense. :o

    Non 505.1 oil on pd (bew)

    Whoa! My daughter recently got a 2005 BEW. Are you saying if she puts 40,000 miles in 18 months she should still wait for 2 years, pending OA results? Thanks

    Thanks wonneber. That's beyond my abilities, was hoping it was confined to cabin. I do appreciate your help.

    trouble shifting manual transmission into reverse

    When I take the boot off I can see the spring is very stiff, especially noticeable when releasing out of reverse. Anybody have an idea what downstream from the shifter might cause this? Thanks.

    trouble shifting manual transmission into reverse

    That would be fortunate. Both an inside cabin issue and someone that's run into similar symptoms.

    trouble shifting manual transmission into reverse

    Actually it shifts OK running or not... EXCEPT reverse. I'm now having to put a lot of downward pressure to engage and upward pressure to disengage. The word "jam" comes to mind.

    trouble shifting manual transmission into reverse

    Or all of the above. I know the throw out bearing is shot. I'm not having any stiffness in the other gears. Feels like something is jamming. Thanks for your reply, Bob.

    trouble shifting manual transmission into reverse

    Bumping this up... I'm having alarming difficulty getting it into and out of reverse. This has slowly been getting worse. About a year ago I had a Diesegeek first gear getter installed. It takes a real shove now to get shifter to go down to engage reverse. I'd appreciate any feedback.
