Good to see there is some of us on the site. I live in St. Andrews, purchased very recently the tdi Jetta to save at the pump. Really enjoying the car so far. My big project i want to do is upgrade my the premium 7 6cd without satellite (mix button instead of sat button )to a rcd 510. My car has steering wheel controls. I want Bluetooth, satellite and steering wheel controls to work.

The more I read the more confused I get. IO think I know what I need but still in research mode.

what are your plans/upgrades done so far?

I have done nothing much to mine, Malone 1.5 with Dynamic EGR, skid plate and exhaust.

I just wanted I to feel more like my old 80's boat and now it does. Still slow as molasses but way more seat of the pant feel :)

I have several projects on the go. I have a 1990 Corrado that im in the middle of swapping an AHU into. engine is in. electrical is my roadblock right now. Also picked up a 2003 jetta wagon tdi that needed a replacement engine. that is just about to get the electrical work done tonight to convert it to a 5 speed. Daily is a mk3 jetta tdi. probably one of the cleaner ones in the city. Picked it up in BC. And a 1997 suzuki sidekick that needs some front end work. that is my offroad toy.

No. My father inlaw and my friend both were but have since retired so just visiting. Going to go check out European Auto tomorrow. I have a small leak on top of the new fuel filter I put in. I think I might have cracked the plastic peice when I took it out so I will see if they have one and maybe check to see what they have to fix a faulty coolant sensor. gage reads perfect but the temp idiot light flashes after it has sat all night long. gives me something to do while I am here.

I'm just south of Winnipeg! I've met several Dubbers in the area but most don't have TDIs that I've run into. Met most through VCDS scans. Glad to see other TDIers around.

How long would you need it for? I'm thinking of replacing my bad tie rod this weekend and change my transmission oil, so I'll be taking mine off you could come template it or whatever but I'm out of the city (SteAnne area).

Thanks again for the offer Gotrek. If the guy who is coming over today for me to replace his rad fans falls through ill be in touch. But this deal was win, win, win win.
Saved a drive out to your place
Selling him parts
Capying his skid plate
Charging him labour (though giving him a deal in exchange for skid plate use)

All good :)

I got my tie rod changed, my buzzken exhaust installed, changed my ATF was a good day here too.

Except this morning my ESP light came on for some reason... GOing to chase that down tonight hopefully it's because I unplugged/replugged the ABS sensor and it's unhappy about that...

Hi there.Yes I'm from Manitoba. I live about 1 hour south of Winnipeg - just north of Altona.
I've got a real odd ball. I've got the 1st year of the B5 Passat TDI wagon. I really enjoy this car and is in amazing condition for it's age. It is built on the Audi platform with a AFN engine and manual trans. My car has recently been imported from Germany. The B5 TDIs were not available in N.A. until 2004. I might consider selling my car for the right price. My wife would like something a bit newer but still a TDI - of course.

Is yours the silver B5 that was imported?
