I'm the one that has been talking about a GTG w/ Jon the rally car driver. just been to darn busy to figure it out. Plus I do not have a VAG-COM yet. Planning on it though! Glad somebody started this list!

TDI skills: Basics, no VAG-COM

Very interested in a GTG, I've got a set of Blistein TC's in the garage that I need to install. Might tackle that job this Friday.

 

[EBG 1.8T]

Eric in Lakewood. We have a 2002 Golf Tdi and a 2001 Jetta 1.8T. Have Prodiag tool if needed, and can do basic repairs (well sort of), I actually do better paying someone to do the work for me.

 

[homerj]

96 Passat TDI chipped not sure of brand Live in Englewood. Have a friend with Vag-Com. I have timing belt tools for both early TDI 96-99.5 and newer TDI 99.5 - 2003. Have done injection pump swap from old style to newer style 10mm pump in my 96 using the dieselgeek kit. Need to swap my clutch cylinder (not sure if it is the master or slave yet that is bad) Interested in possible GTG this summer!

 

[turbonem]

ok so we've got nine people on the list. now we need some ideas for a gtg.

Independance pass is nice this time of year.how about a road ralley?or a barbacue?or we could just meet up and do some gasser~bashing.really it doesen't matter to me, any excuse to drive.I am willing to meet anywhere in CO.

sounds like majority of the gang is centered around denver/CO springs.

I think that a GTG without any major wrenching would allow more social time/planning for wrenching and projects.so I am open to ideas.

if anyone wants to come to fairplay I'd be willing to host it. at my work there is room for a dozen cars inside and my house is about a half mile from the shop. it's about 45 min to the peak of independance pass from here.

grand mesa is also nice this time of year in the evening.

so who is in?

if anyone has an idea for a location in denver that would probabally be best for the largest turn-out.

SEE-YA
matt

Matt, this is kinda what I have been thinking about, but obviously that's all.."thinking" I have been so stinking busy w/ work. I have hardly been on here the past couple of weeks...
Anyways..I was thinking of a drive of some sort. A buddy of mine knows a lot of back roads (not necessarly dirt roads) and said he would be willing to help plan a nice route for us.
I was thinking of hitting some coffee shops up there. Also pondering the idea of taking a deck of cards splitting them up amongst a several coffee shops and when one of us TDIers stops in we can pick up a card and head to the next coffee shop and repeat...then at thte end of the day we play our hand...only problem is I'm not a card shark so I'm not sure what game we could play! Help??
Kinda my thoughts...I know a little about these cars, just enough to be dangerous..so I think you got a good idea, all of us at least meet up and then possible go to wrenching from there.??
I love to drive so this all great to me...
Should we start another thread?

[oriley]

Allright Colorado TDIers, I just PM'd Matt back. We are hopefully gonna get SOMETHING going around here...so stay tunned!! sounds like we have a crowd in Denver area....especially the one w/ the Passat TDI...I'm JEALOUS!!!
Like I said not sure what or when...might just be a social meet'ng...then wrenching sometime latter??!!
Patrick

 

[TDIdenver]

I am definitely in! If there is someone who would be willing to help me clean out my EGR, that would be awesome. I took off the hose from the intercooler yesterday and I was able to see a bit of nastiness in there. I figure I could do it, but would be much more comfortable having someone who has done it before help me. My email is rogue2949@aol.com and I check this forum almost every day.

 

[goodbug]

I just want to add my name to the list. It is good to see so many Colorado TDIers!
