Fuel starvation will not result in a drop in mileage under any condition! Major loss of power yes but change MPG for the worse I think not! nwd ... straw. You...
Are you implying that if the fuel filter is not changed at the recommended intervals it becomes ineffective as a filter? No it becomes more effective as a...
In many cases more effective only applys up to a point. I don't know about fuel filters, but air filters, water filters and most other types of filters I've...
As one who has experienced a clogged fuel filter on a TDI allow me to say that an OEM or Bosch filter WILL block all flow, even better when the ambient temp is...
Here's one: Does anyone know or can they answer , which refiner of diesel makes the better of fuels ( say like, is Shell better than Exxon or is Texaco better...

I had a defective fuel filter (first one I changed...) where the filter medium was installed upside down (instead of seeing filter, I saw semi-transparent...
I owned three conventionally aspirated diesels before I acquired a Jetta TDI two years ago. I missed out on all the development of TDI's in the 90's. I would...
The term TDI is not an acknowledgement of anything specific to the engines in our VW's, it merely signifies that it is a Turbo-Diesel where the fuel in...
Hi I live in Metro Detroit and saw a nice Tourerag with V6 (not V10) TDI druising up I-75. Any one know when this engine is going to be available in the...
... No, "the biofuels they make" are *not* "VEG type like oil." Biodiesel is made from vegetable sources, but it's been converted to biodiesel. Regular, room...
Paul: I have a 2001 TDI/Manual, and I got 50K out of the original (Michelin) stock tires.. and they were better than legal when I got the new ones. I've gone...
I just purchased a used OEM VW bra for my Jetta. My question is should I cut out the outline for the front license plate or mount th plate and holder through...
if it was constructed right you're supposed to cut the thread on the back for the cutout piece so you can remove it and mount it with the plate in place....
TDI = Turbocharged Direct Injection, that's rather specific IMO. VW is the first, afaik, to actaully call their engines TDI. The same engine was used in...
The TOUAREG V6 is not a TDI. It's a gasser. Only diesel option is the monsterous twin-turbo V10. BTW - Hell will freeze over before they offer a 6 speed...
Leave the plate off. Better yet, leave the bra off. Bra's quit being cool after the end of the 80's. ... Chris Thornton 1991 VW Jetta GL 2 Door 1.6 Diesel -...
No argument about being cool, but I drive 30,000 miles a year with a lot of two lane road. Just trying to keep the paint from getting chipped. _____ From:...
Probably a development vehicle. As far as I know, there's no plans to bring a V6 TDI to the states. I saw a Jeep Cherokee diesel on Telegraph around Square...
I managed to mangle the lugs on my utility trailer--lugs were too lose, the wheel "rattled" around under load, and the splines in the hub stripped out. Now...
It did have manufacturer's plates. Can you get the V6 TDI through Canada or is all of North America standardized. As to the other post, it was a V6 TDI not...
Chris: Trust me it was a V6 TDI. I've seen the car parked. It has different emblems, different tail pipes, etc. than the V10. Is also had manufacturer's...
I wouldn't reccoment it, if the bolts don't fit very snuggly into the hub the bolts will eventuallt break and put the hubs into even worse condition. ... -- ...
Well, the hub is technically shot as it is, but I guess it's still technically got a good bearing, so it still does one of its designed purposes. But, the...
