Why is that? Are you not in the US? My 2002 has a 4 years/50k miles bumper to bumper. 5 years/60K miles powertrain. There is a TSB on the EGR cleaning which...
One more thing. My VW dealer replaced the EGR because it had some build up for 'free' at 49,000 miles. Paul L Fisher 2000 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI 5 Speed -...
VW's Warranty's have changed a few times that I know of since 2000. My roommate used to have a 2001 Passat that had a 2yr/24k mile warranty... but it covered...
The TSB states that is if is more economical they will replace the EGR. I have fought with my dealership and VWoA about it. The TSB does not cover cleaning....
As I said, 2002 has 4/50 everything, 5/60 powertrain. Paul L Fisher 2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI automatic - Galactic Blue - 56,000 miles - EBC Greenstuff...
It quite clearly says "If new parts are not available, or if it is more economical, the intake manifold and EGR cooler can be cleaned (see Note below)." The...
Been lurking here mostly since I traded my '01 Jetta TDI for my brother's '95 E300D. Well, he's having a big problem now and I'm wondering if you guys can...
"fuel pump" is actually the injection pump. Cheapest you will find is $900 plus core plus installation. Anyhow, I doubt it is it. I would check for build-up in...
Anyone out there from Long Island with a TDI and a good mechanic that knows what he is doing? Located in Nassau County on the south shore...have tried that...
Check engine light has been on since a month after I bought the car. Basically for 3 years. Car has a rebuild title, I always assumed it was an electrical...
The timing might of just 'slipped' past the point of no return. I would get the codes read just in case. Does the glow plug light flash? That is one indication...
Of course I might have missed you post in regard to you fuel filter??? But ... have you recently changed the fuel filter? First step in getting bubbles out of...
No glow plug light flashing. "Getting the codes read" won't be easy. My brother lives WAY in the boonies, nearest VW dealer might be 60 miles away. He just...
Did the fuel filter like 3000 miles ago, right before we traded vehicles. I didn't do things properly when replacing it, maybe I hurt something. I didn't...
You ran the injector pump dry. That is not good. If there was a problem before, this would make it worse. Getting back to the bubbles, not trying to re-state...
My brother's nearest neighbor is a mile away, and his driveway is literally a half mile long. He's about 10 miles from the Mississippi River on the IL side (a...
Hello everyone, When I was buying my last batch of Amsoil, my dealer had the Tornado Fuel/Air system available that goes in your intake filter box. This is ...
Well, nothing but air in the fuel line is *a* problem, if not *the* problem. I recently had a no-start issue with lots of air in the fuel line and it was the...

Assuming they put in the 100K timing belt and rollers, I would do the water pump at the same time. When I replaced the injection pump on my '00 at 120K miles,...
If you have the original water pump, 140k miles is a great time to be proactive and replace it while the timing belt is off. ... -- Jesus paid the price. You...
This all happened 7miles after a fillup, right? Serious case of bad diesel? I recall a note somewhere in the past here that 7mi is about how far you would go...
On a motor that recirculates the fuel, that would be wrong. The whole fuel tank is emptied and re-filled at least once an hour. I don't have the exact flow...

When he first called on the road w/ the limping TDI, I thought the same thing even before he told me that he had just filled up. I'm just puzzled by the air...
My brother has always had the bad habit of running a tank dry. And I mean DRY. The only guy I know who has run out of fuel/gas close to 10 times, and he's...
That isn't necessarily true. However, running a TDI dry is a bad thing. In addition, cars with electric fuel pumps in the tank usually have the fuel cool the...
