OKTOBERFEST PA GTG Oct. 11, 2008

[dcg]

Just bought my first TDI (a '98 Jetta) and am having a few issues as can be seen in this thread: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=226375

Would be great to, at the very least, be able to hook up VAG-com and get some info. I'd be happy to bring whatever food/beverages you guys want.

Sorry, No Jeff. Oliver can't make it either.

I'm planning on being there. I'll bring tools and tuning equip too.

We heart Jeff

Jeff. park in the same spot you did last year!

Thank you Woot!

 

[SyNtAxx]

I will probably stop by and mingle. I only live up the street

 

[adrift]

I couldn't justify the almost 4 hour drive unless Jeff was coming, now you all get the pleasure of meeting me.

BTW, is there going to be a swap-meet sort of thing going on? I don't have anything to sell, but I have been known to make impulse purchases...

Cool!!!

I was jsut going off of info Ollie gave me. This is good news!! SEE you there.

Because of having a driver (paid OT) deliver B99 in a fuel truck on a weekend and the cost of Soy Biodiesel that Oehlert paid for their own delivery they received, B99 would be around 4.80/gallon.

I expressed that price would be hard for our group to pay (even for me). I feel that we will pass on the B99 for our GTG this year.

Though, I am open to suggestions and or your thoughts. Sorry guys

I'm ok with passing on the B99. Crying out loud, that's a full dollar more than D2 in NJ. Yikes.

Good thing is the Phillies are not playing saturday

 

[jmasciulli]

Sorry, gang. I initially said I was going to attend. But, I need to back out. I have to travel the next day to a conference, and I have some things I need to do on the 11th. Probably the next time there's a GTG, I'll be deployed.

 

[Leo819]

I have decided not to pursue Biodiesel for GTG.

I understand that the election is around the corner, and the economy is tanking big time.

I would like for people to be respectful at this GTG.

Thank you

 

[ecodean]

[fire32njetta]

[passat05wagon]

[osesu96]

I'll be there around noon with the beverages. See everyone in a bit.

Got home at about 20:30 from the GTG. Got the rear brakes done and the fluid replaced, although I could have done without the drama at the end of getting air into my clutch! Thanks to everyone who helped and hosted this GTG. I was a bit over a year overdue for the fluid change. The brakes were right at the point of needing done as well.

[fire32njetta]

I had a fun time today working with everyone on my car and their cars. I actually went home and did my front brakes too. I cant wait till the next GTG to go to.

 

[marschmc]

It was nice to meet everyone today and thanks to those that organized it. I would also like to thank Justin (N2TOH) for helping with my gauge install and Jeff of RocketChip (jsrmonster) for my RC2 tune. I love the tune, it's like a different engine was dropped in!

[Leo819]

I am missing my VAG COM USB cable from Saturday. It was found....



I would like to thank all that came out.I had a great time hosting the GTG.

 

[savd4one]

thanks everyone for coming out, it was good seeing all the repeat attendees and meeting a few new faces

LOOOOOOOVED the venison and hope to see everyone next year!

 

[ecodean]

I had a blast and am looking foward to the next gtg . Thanks to eddie 1 for letting me check out your duel gauge and Kombifahrer for the info on trailers, and Jeff for coming out and chipping those in need. It was nice to meet some new, as well as familiar faces. I'm also hoping that dcg will keep us posted on what the final diagnosis is on your engine. And lastly, a huge THANK YOU to Leo819 and Savd4one for hosting, It was really good to see you again. Thanks again,
Dean

Hi! Leaving a TDI GTG and a Fest always puts me into withdrawal. It's nice to see so many TDI'ers together. Even tho my (phantom) TDI isn't power-modded, it's fun to see the possibilities. Talking German, vegetarianism, & other subjects was enjoyable too. Thank you Ginny &Gerro for hosting - you have a knack for ordering great weather! Can't wait for the next one . DCG, please update your car's progress!
Kristina

 

[eddie_1]

Hi, I also want to thank everyone for a great time. It was great to meet dean, chris, tom, leo etc. The whole event just reinforced my notion that TDIclubbers are special folks, whereever you go. Thanks to Leo for his efforts and thanks to Jeff again for his tireless individual attention and special work. I got bumped upto RC3 and got home a bit quicker .

 

[N2TOH]

I would like to say I had a great time at the GTG and thank Jeff (jsrmonster) for fixing the case valve on my injection pump, It's like I have an entirely different car now. I can now rev over 4K Rpm and finally no more smoke!

Thanks again to everyone for a great time.

 

[dddiesel]

This was the first GTG I've gotten to, and I had a great time. Thanks to Leo819 and savd4one for hosting. Glad to hear you liked the venison. Hopefully, I'll have more for next time. It was great to meet everyone. I'll start saving up for tune in the Spring!

Many thanks to kromicacid for his help installing my TDIHeater!

All the best.

Someone mentioned to me a program to run outside of Vag-Com to create automatically graphs for the MAP and other things. Anyone know what that is?

 

[Leo819]

If anyone is interested. I am going to be at a vortex GTg next week at marsh creek.

Cool. Did you Vag-com turn up?

I had a great time. Thanks to everyone involved in putting it together and thanks to those that showed up.

 

[Leo819]

I went back to office and walked through warehouse on sunday and found it.
