    Hi All, Sadly, I sold my TDI several years ago. Getting ready to move I found my Pela Oil Extractor sitting in the garage. I'm selling it for $25 local only. Thanks John

    Sold - thanks for looking. I'll admit that it was rather sad selling this car. I'd become attached to it.

    High mileage automatics

    Only 105,000 miles on my 02 Jetta with automatic. Had filters and fluid replaced at 75,000 by Drivbiwire when he did timing belt for me. So far so good! John

    Mobil Recommends Mobil 1 0W-40 for TDI

    wildgrizzly - I paid more than I wanted to pay! Bought a 1 gallon container of Delvac 1 for $32 which means it was $8 per quart. The ones I got at Kragen Auto were only $5.99 each - there were also the last in any of the Kragen stores in Reno. If the new oil isn't out next time, guess I'll...

    Yes, got the 5-40 variety. I made the mistake a couple of weeks ago in Yuma and grabbed a quart of oil that turned out to be 5-30. Thanks

    Mobil Recommends Mobil 1 0W-40 for TDI

    I've been looking for Delvac 1 to do a service. Got 4 quarts at a truck stop and found the last two quart bottles of Mobil 1 SUV & Pickup in Reno! Now I've got enough with a little extra. Browsing the Mobil website, they have an "oil selector" for you to put in your vehicle and they recommend...

    Stories when filling up at "gasoline station"

    I hate it that our cars fuel on the passenger side. Makes getting in line hard! My solution has been to back into the line! That way I don't have to go nose to nose with big pickup trucks and SUVs that will not let me in.

    Hard starting when cold, for the 10,000th time!

    OK - car starts as normal but REALLY chugs (and not beer). Sort of acts like someone is reving the engine by pressing up and down on accelarator but it is very low like it might die. After driving and warming up, it runs fine. Outside temps 45 degrees! Any ideas? Got 90K, DBW did timing...

    Springs Under Front Seats Fell Off

    Yep, I started that thread. Will note that spring has not made any difference in how the seat adjust or anything. I also believe the car manual says not to adjust the seat height while you are in the seat. John

    How difficult is fuel filter change?

    Another tip someone shared with me - keep a couple of golf tees and when taking hose off fuel filter stick a gold tee into the hose. Works great. Of course, works better after you get the hose off the first time! That was not fun and very hard. Bought a bunch of spare hose clamps at VW...

    Cold Start - Engining Uneven?

    When I start my TDI (02, Auto, 90k miles) first thing in the morning (50 degrees temp), or after sitting a long time, the engine acts like someone is quickly depressing the acelarator up and down. It continues to do this until after the car warms up. Any ideas what causes this? Has only...
