No offense to anyone intended but it shouldn't be an unsolvable problem. Either the electrical duty cycle isn't getting to the valve, the valve isn't properly...
I have asked about converting the old TDI to the newer TDI canister before. They said that the mounts are totally different and you can not put the newer...
Friends, I have a 2009 TDI Sportwagon with 5k mi, and last night decided to rotate my tires. I quickly found out that the supplied jack is the pitts, and had...
You should be able to find a spot for each jack stand as I rotate my tires on my 2000 Jetta TDI. Be careful, I have a noticeable dent on the left side where...
JD, You probably want to install the Jack Pad kit from ECS: http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_IV--TDI/Search/Jack/ Another option would be to use ramps....
This is great, although I don't see where these pads go. I'm a bit thick headed, so please pardon my ignornace. The factory jack has a ridge that the rocker...
There should be some info in the owners manual as to jack points. I would buy a floor jack--most any will do--actually, I would buy two, so you can jack up...
Hi all, The CEL came on in my 2002 TDI earlier this week after a night of freezing temperatures. It started up alright; I noticed the light later in the...
Hey everybody, I'm new to this group because I haven't owned my '98 Jetta TDI for about three years now, my ex-wife does. But recently (and I have no idea...
I think the conventional wisdom is to make sure the glow plug cable harness isn't faulty before you replace the plugs as the harness is more likely to fail...
My engine light has been on for years. When it first started I asked my mechanic about it and he said that one of the glowplugs was not functioning at full...
Yes, if you live were it is warm, you don't need glow plugs. But if the CEL is on, how do you know if a new CEL code has come one? Anyway, if you want to...

You know we absolutely loved this car from the moment we bought it new in '98, but our HUGE mistake was taking it to the local dealer when it came time for the...
What specifically is the engine designation on that '98 Jetta TDI? So that I search for the right MAF sensor... ... From: Brian Bowman <hbbowman@...> ...
I have thought about that but we only have one vw repair shop in Hilo, Bears, and they are the one who still care for the car. It is a 2003GolfTDI that just...
Why would anyone make a totally unhelpful post like yours? Given that the OEM jack is pretty useless, and that people have been known to have their own floor...
Hi Rosannah - Bummer about Autozone. Sounds like a lame excuse to me. You can test the glow plug without removing it using an ohmmeter as explained in the...
Oh one more thing - make sure you know which cylinder is #4... I've heard of some cars reporting them backward. ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
