Like message 2151 "starting, smoke" I have had the same issue with regard to no power and depressing the gas does nothing. But my problem starts after I have...
I drive country roads with a heavy foot and I'm seeing an average of 46-47mpg at 26K. I have a 3-pot tuning box which is moderately adjusted (never any smoke)...
Dear List, Well I have actually installed a 1.9l chipped TDI into a 1987 Syncro "Westy" (4wd Westfalia Vanagon). No butchering needed. Fits like a stock engine...
I used to run VAGCOM but it wouldn't work on my laptop once I changed OS's, so I "upgraded" to VWTool for $99 (software only). It installed just fine however,I...
Why do you only get 27 MPG? I speculated that the TDI in a van would get around 32-38 MPG. I have nothing to base this on, just my best guess. I kept...

My weather here in southwestern Ohio has been similar and I have had similar Glow Plug experiences (with the exception that once the sun gets high enough the...
It's been a few degrees colder than that here in Central Mass the last few nights. This morning, I think it took almost 10 seconds before my glow plug light...
I don't worry about it any more. I leave the key ON a few seconds longer before starting anyway. The glow plugs stay on for about 15 seconds after the lamp...

The forecast recently was for a night with temperatures below zero, so i purchased and added some andi-gel conditioner to the fuel tank of my new vw golf. ...
I wouldn't recommend doing that. #1 diesel has lower lubricity content that an equivalent amount of #2 diesel. You could potentially damage your expensive...

Here in PA, they only sell winterized diesel in the winter, Although the pump says #2, its really a mixture of 1 and 2 that will not gell in winter. Winter is...
TDI group, I was at WalMart the other day and I looked at the diesel fuel supplements. What is the difference between the white bottle and silver bottle(I...
The white bottle is the winterizer, it lowers the gel point. The silver bottle is a cleaner for year round use. There is also another bottle called 911 or...
Powerservice is what I'd recommend too. It lowers the pour point lower than mixed #1 & # 2. The #1 is too dirty and crude to run in the TDIs. Terry 99 Golf TDI...
