I need some work done (long)..will pay.
Hey - I haven't been on the forum in a while, but I was at a GTG a couple years back, and may have met some of you all...anyways - I've got an 03 Jetta TDI that is in need of some work. I am willing and able to do work, but don't have much experience. I can build you a house, or a guitar for that matter, but can't say I could do a timing belt change...
I live in Hudson WI, so am looking for someone in MN or western WI
Anyways - Here's what I've got:
1. I've got a squeak going on recently. I just noticed this a couple days ago. It sounds kinda like a how a squeaky trailer sounds at the ball/reciever area. I've noticed it more at slower speeds and when going over bumps. I don't think it has anything to do with suspension due to the fact that it will squeak from time to time when I start or shut down my car. I got under the car today, and I think it may be something with the exhaust pipes and how they are mounted. I was able to shake it a little and cause it to squeak much like I have been hearing. That's the only thing I could find, but I am not 100% certain that's the problem.
2. I've got a Starter that sticks from time to time. It makes that aweful sound...still starts fine, but I would like to either clean it out or replace the starter altogether before it gets too bad. It's been doing this for about a year (not all the time), and I don't want to put it off anymore.
3. My EGR and intake could use a cleaning. I cleaned it once at about 60,000 and I now have 148,000 on it and have had the same symptoms as I did before I cleaned it out the first time. I have done this once before with the help of my father, but I don't feel super confident in doing it on my own.
4. When I got under my car today I noticed some oily soot on my belly pan (that has some holes in it) - not sure what's going on there, but would like to have it checked out.
I think that's it. hehe
I figured I'd check here to see if anyone wanted the work instead of me going to a shop. I would much rather pay one of you (that is qualified) than pay a shop and not be sure if I am being ripped off or if they have eperience with TDI's... If you are willing and available to tackle all or some of this soon, please PM me or email me @ -
