Ahhh,
good to know '82 thanks for that.

Hi guys,
looking to upgrade a 1.5 in a 79 Dasher to the rotary vac pump as I'm getting tired of replacing the diaphragm every 3-5 months.
The ones I have are for a TDI and will not fit. Let me know what you've got and shipping to 03860 N. Conway NH, Thanks.

Hi guys, it's been a long time since I was active here last glad to see the place is still the way it was. Anyway I've got a friend with a '79 Dasher that I am working on getting ready for a trip to Washington state from New Hampshire. I've put a diaphragm kit in the vac pump before so the car would...

The stuff is gone.

Wow, I haven't been on this forum in forever. I hang out at TDIClub now with a 97 Passat and 05 Passat both TDI of course now in the stable. Anywhooo, I was rummaging through some 97 stuff to get rid of and ran across some A2 parts back when I had my 92 Jetta, So I'm offering them up here free for t...

Well, just thought I'd post an update for everyone else's information: I solved the problem, now the Jetta runs just as good as it ever has and as a result, I'm keeping it. What it ended up being was 2 small holes in the clear hose going into the IP. I couldn't see them because they were hiding unde...

Another thing, while out last night I had to rev the engine to keep it running at red lights, stop signs and when following slow traffic or it would stall out. I restarted it on several occasions by popping the clutch to save on the starter & battery. Never used to do that before. been hard to s...

OK Gang, It's good to be back here posting again even though I haven't done so in a while. At 366K on a 91 Jetta N/A I've got a strange problem I'd like to put before you all. I have clear fuel hoses going into and out of the filter and on either side of the return "T". Things I did recent...

Hi everyone,
I need the clip that holds the two air filter housing halves together. Car is a 91 Jetta 1.6 N/A. I'm in southern NH. Ship to zip is 03055. Might as well make it two so I have a spare on hand.
Thanks,
Dave

I did this not too long ago and after having studied the gearing chart carefully I decided to go with an AGS code tranny and then had 5th gear swapped from .75 to .71 I'm happy with the results, but If I had to do it over, I'd go with a transaxle from a MK3. I haven't logged less than 50K miles per ...

I'm not new to VW diesels, but new to TDIs, I've got a friend who bought a 99 Bug that was running WVO. Guy selling the car said the dealer told him that the IP had rust inside most likely from the WVO not being dewatered sufficiently. Engine is original to car and has 130K All I've done is look at ...

Well, I drilled out the intake restrictions and that seemed to have made the biggest difference. In addition to which I fitted a barb to the block off plate down by the vac pump and vented it to atmosphere. I couldn't believe how small the holes were- I drilled them both out to the maximum size that...

So is this a common problem for high mileage engines? Drill it to clear accumulation & go bigger. Does the increase in blow-by from wear render the small vents unable to meet venting demand? (asuming little to no accumulation) This is all new to me please be specific as to why. If I think that t...

No, oil is not coming out the dipstick, but it's working in that direction. You know, last few times I've checked the oil, I noticed it read 1- 1.5 quarts on the high side. I could not explain that until now, because I know I put in the correct amount of oil every time. I'm the only one who works on...
