Thanks Tad and I will examine the TDI Club also. This is the first that I have heard about the TDI and WVO not being compatible. But that is the stage that I...
Good luck. I'm under the impression that they were not sold in large quantities here. Being the owner of an '04, I can see some of the reasons why--but by ...
I will look into the TDI Club. So far, I have found several on AutoTrader.com but of course, this involves some distances. George ... From: Shawn Upton To:...
George & Tad, I usually remain a 'lurker' but must disagree with this one as Jetta's & Golfs are very popular among us in the BD (BioDiesel), WVO and SVO...

John, I have the same problem and I have all the shields in place. It maybe something else but it sure seems to only happen when I am turning right. I need...
Great find, thanks! I've purchased from them before but they didn't come to mind for a skid plate and google buried me in links to MK IV and non relevant...
My first 98 Jetta TDI did the same thing too. I also had all the shields in place, but there are still gaps that would let water in. I think it is the belt...
Tad & George, I won't stray past this post because I don't want to get too off topic into a BD, WVO, SVO discussion on a TDI board. I would just suggest to...
Good Morning Dave You make some very reasoned and valid points and I appreciate your advice. I roll up some very insane mileages myself and that is one reason...
