That's why the chip dealers do the install for you. Paul L Fisher 2000 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI 5 Speed - White - 155,000 miles - Upsolute - OldNavy CCV -...
True, mine was soldered in. Sockets are actually a drawback, as they present more opportunity for a bad/corroded/loose connection, especially if you change...
I was going to change my timing belt this weekend but I didn't get the software license in time so I decided to clean the intake manifold instead. I've seen...
Too late for Nathan ... but if anyone else is attempting this ... consider the Intake Manifold DVD at the CinciTDI.com club. (www.cincitdi.com/richc)...
This may sound like a stupid question. I just read a news article about the new ultra low sulpher diesel coming out this year. How does this affect all the...
Not much. I believe the difference is with the exhaust aftertreatment. The sulphur in LSD will "poison" the new-style cat converters in much the same way...
does anyone use biodiesel in their new beetle? i am thinking of getting a beetle TDi and would like to hear from others that have one - especially if you are...
My wife has on '03 and we have been using bio for the last 8 months, without any problems as of 67k. We waited untill the warranty was up at 50k, just in case,...
Well I am back from the wilderness and can now get back to work on my Caddy TDI conversion. I put on the new water pump pulley which is driven off of the...
However current diesel engines will run just fine on "ultra" low sulphur diesel. The deal is that sulphur creates particulates in the exhaust which with the...
I've run more than 250 gallons of Bio through my Jetta TDI. Most as B99/B100 in warmer months and B33 in colder months. I've had zero problems but a...
... i plan on running B20 so i guess it shouldn't be a problem - has her beetle been reliable? been reading on other boards about mechanical issues with the...
... problems ... replace ... thanks - my husband has a 1984 ford escort wagon diesel he's been running b20 in and he had to replace the fuel filter several...
Nancy, what year Beetle are you considering? The 98-2003 model year Beetles came with the previous generation of fuel injection system (known as rotary-pump...
This shouldn't be an issue with a TDI, I've never heard of a fuel filter being damaged by bio (clogged by crud from the tank, but not physically damaged). But...
<cross posted to increase the possibility of meaningful comment> This provides a segue into my question of the day. I have a 2002 Jetta TDI (2nd hand salvage,...
Open the fuel tank. Look under the right rear seat, there will be an access cover. Remove it (2 Phillips screws, I believe), then you can pull the fuel sender...
Thanks. This is solid gold information. I had no idea. What am I looking for? Would gunk be obvious? Hmmm ... can one clean a tank through this port? Thinking...
I'm guessing the strainer in the fuel tank is clogged. You'll have to pull the top off the tank and take a look. If it's clogged then it should be very...
You're probably right in thinking that the 300D is more robust than the Jetta in just about every way. Along the lines of #4... when you say "less than 6...
Very good questions. I do not have an answer. This should at least let you look to see if there is a filter sock of some sort (I don't believe there is) and...
... "Less than 6 gallons" is more accurate. I added about 5 after the filter change to an essentially empty tank. I added another 5 to another essentially...
I'll try that diagnostic. On putting a second, sacrificial filter in line, I've read that recommendation and it sounds like a good idea in general, but looking...
Thanks. I'll study the pdf. This evening I plan to 1. pull the T fitting and examine the O-rings 2. replace the T, pull the fuel line on the tank side, crank...
