[sparkplugg]

Does anyone else in Houston need a timing belt change? I was thinking about hosting a visit from runonbeer (Robby Plenge),from Austin. If interested call me at 281.303.6056

I'll bring the biodiesel (and some tools)

I'm in for a timing belt change in Houston. I have a 1998 Jetta witn 110,000 miles on it.

I'm not sure about the parts and/or cost.

Let me know

Robby, I talked to you on Friday. Sparkplugg, good to talk to you this morning.

My phone is 281.507.8256

Regards,
TerranceB

I'm in. I'm in. Please count me in.

Sorry for the delay in posting David. I've been swamped at work. We're trying to make preparations for the hurricane and I have absolutely no free time.

I have an '01 Golf TDI 5-sp with just over 60k miles and this is a perfect opportunity for a T-belt change from one of the best in the business.

A preliminary question...

This is what I'd like to purchase from DieselGeek - the $333 all-in-one A4 TDI timing belt package. Is that OK?

Thanks,
Alan

Great, looks like it's coming together. I'll have the BBQ pit smokin' and link sausage and diet coke for all. If you have anything else you want to throw on the pit, feel free to bring it.

Rob, I am a "newbie" in the literal sense when it comes to VW TDI. Question: Do we need to buy parts or do we get them from you? Thanks.

All, here is a map to my house:
(from Houston: 288 South to Hwy. 6 North, go ~2 to 3 miles on Hwy 6, turn right on Savannah Pkwy., go ~1 mile on Savannah Pkwy., turn right on Hearthstone, take an immediate right on Barton Meadow, then a right on Barton Meadow Ct. (13602 Barton Meadow Ct.)

Hey sorry for the delay. The biodiesel world has BLOWN UP in the last few weeks.

It was looking like I was heading that way this weekend but It got pushed back to next week. So how is the weekend of the 8th/9th? I've got one scheduled here for the 7th, so I'll be in full blown TB mode.

and by the way, I've got a lot of things I'd like to get done on my car, but never have the time. 11mm pump swap, .205 inj. install, Bilstien TC install... Maybe if you guys want to keep hanging out after I knock out the TB's we can do some wrenchin' on "the runonbeermobile"

I almost don't even come here (tdiclub) anymore

So if you guys want to call me, my number is 210 862 7502. My phone recently sustained some sort of damage causing the little speaker that points at my ear to become effectively inoperative so when you call, SCREAM

I have to work the 8th/9th. Tried, but could not get out of it, the guy that usually takes my place is going on a scheduled deep sea SCUBA dive. Have scheduled for definite time off on the 15th/16th if that is doable ???

Ok then, 15th 16th

 

[TerranceB]

Hello -

I can do it on the 15th and not the 16th. Is that OK?

Looking forward to it!

I just spoke to Robby and he said he will be at my house at 8 am, Sat., 15th. I spoke to Alan a few days back and he said his parts are in so looks like he'll make it. Looks like we'll have 3 cars. Looking forward to it, all.

Robby, Terry, Alan,
It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you all. Robby, great job!

The car is running excellent. I ran it some more last night and still no codes, and running smooth. I'll keep an eye on that pump, and next time, I'll make the trip to Austin.

Thanks!

 

[runonbeer]

Glad to hear it. Thanks again, I enjoyed myself.
