It is VW that has that policy, not the dealer. VW extended the warranty so I don't see why you are upset. All manufacturers have issues. Paul L Fisher ...
Yeah that's why I called VWoA instead of fussing at the dealer. Just making the point that they wouldn't stretch the warranty for a cheap part much less the...
Hey, can anybody help? I've been very careful during two battery changes to keep 12 volts on the system and have had no problems-- until now! Working on my '98...
Hmmm, dead battery should not cause this behavior. If it's the immobilizer(which I don't think you have in a 98 anyway), you should get a start with immediate...
yes- put a charge back in the battery- wait and go by the directions in the book-will not work without a full charge-did you save your codes? if not crank up...
Did you accidently disconnect any wiring going to the battery? Something got unplugged! Did you disconnect the battery BEFORE charging it? Maybe a fuse popped...
Can somebody tell me the name of the piece of trim for a 2001 Jetta sedan that is located about where the driver's side fog lamp would be? It is a grill of...
I don't know what it's called, but given the rate at which these things are lost (frequently), I'd imagine that any VW-specific wrecker would know exactly what...
It's the lower outer grill cover. The part is available new from 1stVWparts.com for $15.01 + tax and shipping see http://is.gd/14DR6 for the parts diagram and...
Can anyone provide me the diameter of the pump pin tool, and the thickness, and gross dimensions of the locking plate for the camshaft? I'd like to fab some...
What year is your TDI? Different years have different tools. The tools you can make are not that expensive to buy (<$30), but the one thing that got me was...

Hi, I just installed Sprint 357/442 Injector Nozzles on my Beetle TDI and now it will not start. I have bleed the injector pump to injector lines, changed the...
Duane, If you changed all four injectors, it can take a long (really long) time to get the engine to start. I used the article on Fred's list regarding the...
Hi vw-tdi@yahoogroups.com, I invited you to join Facebook a while back and wanted to remind you that once you join, we'll be able to connect online, share...
Duane You mentioned you also changed filter. You need to get the air of it also. A hand operated vacuum works nice, but don't let any fuel into the vacuum...
Fill the fuel filter with fuel, reinstall......... crack open one of the injector tubes at the pump, wrap a rag around it. turn over starter til rag gets...

My 2002 Golf TDI is suddenly getting worse diesel mileage. And at times has trouble starting the first start-up of the day. Lots of smoke blowing and not quite...
Is skipping a tooth on the timing belt possible without some major belt failure? The mileage issue could be due to the injection pump timing needing to be...
Sounds like retarded timing to me. If it happened all the sudden, a skipped tooth is a possibility. If that's indeed what happened, there's something...
Hey guys and gals, I have an 04 tdi jetta wagon that seems to be giving me some trouble. Here's a little history, I bought it with 110k miles on it about a...
If the timing belt has tension on it and it is not about to slide off to one side of the other (i.e. remove the timing belt cover and examine), then it may not...
