Stafford Virginia, anyone need a4/a5/b4 TDI work? Broken Glow Plug Removal too.

[RecklessPrincess]

Please help!!!!

Most all work can be performed here except tunes. References are available. I don't know all there is about everything, but I know alot about everything else.
My neighbor who is ASE LT1 qualified has done many clutch jobs for me so those jobs are now possible too.
I can now remove busted, broken or spinning glow plugs plugs from the 1z, ahu, and alh heads while the head is on the engine, or off the engine for that matter. Email me for specifics.

I was going to post pics of my equipment extracting RecklessPrincess's broken glow plug, but never did get to take any pics. Turns out she is in Australia, and thought my town of Stafford was near her home there. Oh well.

Email sent - hope you're still working on these old B4Vs!

 

[ninedee_golf_tdi]

Just how did my post get so far down the bottom ? Up to the top I command you.

Hey Tom

I've got an 01 with some pretty good mods done to it and I'm getting a slight bit of turbo lag and a boost spike, is this just a turbo actuator adjustment problem or something else. The turbo is what kerma listed as a series 7...never could get a straight answer on what exactly it was but the billet compressor wheel was really sexxy

Sending a PM.

All,

I've sent a PM and email to Tom. Does anyone have alternate contact info for him? Reading through this and other threads, and considering I presently also live in Stafford, I'd like to discuss some work I need done on my 04 TDI wagon.

Thanks!

I haven’t heard back from him either. Vacation? Retired??

 

[mattboyd]

Does anyone have a status update on Tom? I'm holding off on the TB change and clutch until I either hear whether he can work on it or I hit 300k miles (I'm in the 298s now.....).

If anyone can help me get in touch with him, it would be appreciated. Even if I knew he's no longer doing work on our cars anymore, then I'd look for another mechanic in the area, but I'm holding out hope.....

A reputable source said Tom is in SC. (Not sure for how long or if permanent. )

Tried Alan at Cuz’s TDI Werks?

 

[ninedee_golf_tdi]

Still alive and well, moving to SC eventually and spend a lot of time running up and down 95, but..... if I remember to check this thread I'll get back to you.

 

[ninedee_golf_tdi]

Months later.... still in Virginia. I dont have reliable internet in SC. I'm clearing out my stash of parts. If anyone local wants to go shopping for mainly b4 but some a4 parts, come on over.

 

[OkiHero]

Do you happen to have a complete BEW head that's in good condition?

What part of SC? I live in Fredericksburg (VA) now but am from Aiken and the Mrs is from Sumter.

 

[ninedee_golf_tdi]

Port Royal, (Beaufort) I can hear the recruits at Parris Island sounding off.

 

[ninedee_golf_tdi]

Hmmm, let me look. How about a rebuildable one ?

 

[OkiHero]

I would be okay with that. I'll send it to Frank.

Hi There, I am needing some work done on my 06 Jetta. Please call me @ 616 340 5845. Thanks again, Vic

 

[ninedee_golf_tdi]

Wow, a whole year exactly since the last post. A lot has happened since then. I bought another few houses down south and have been running up and down 95 evading the radar traps to work on them. My trusted wrench fetcher Turbo is no longer part of my team, but he always will be. Sad story that. So..... when I'm in Virginia I'm still swinging wrenches even if I must fetch them myself nowadays.

 

[mrGutWrench]

Thanks for the good work that you've done and are doing for people, Tom. It's hard to find a good TDI fixer. I'm sorry to hear about Turbo -- that was a lot of personality in a good package. I wish you well and hope you're enjoying life.
Please stay in touch. MrG

Well, now that it looks like we've lost both our TDI mechs in Stafford VA does anyone know of anyone around the Fredericksburg VA area that can be recommended?

Same question. I need someone locally to fix my ALH TDI.

 

[dpope]

With Tom having one and half legs in South Carolina and Cuz's shop closed it's hard to find a decent place to take my TDI to.

 

[ninedee_golf_tdi]

While I do miss the warmth and alligator infested swamp across the street from my SC home, I'm here in Virginia. I have two sheds worth of VW collectibles that I have to dispose of.

Any chance you have AHU longblock or more? Thanks!
