Former VWDieselParts.com Forum

I think I may have found out why the lines have been breaking. Reached down to check how tight the bolts were that bolt the bracket to the engine block. I was able to loosen the bolts with my fingers! I re-tightened them but I'll have to keep an eye on them for sure!

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with metal fuel lines that keep breaking? This is so frustrating! I have a 1.9 Turbo diesel in my Vanagon with an injector pump from Performance Diesel in Ontario. The pump has the fuel enrichment diaphragm too. Basically what keeps happening is that my...

Well after my major coolant system overhaul, I drove up and over the Rockies, and noticed black smoke billowing out my tail pipe. I immediately called the guys (Wolfsberg Auto) that did my coolant work to ask them for advice. They said that was a pretty normal thing for vehicles operating at higher ...

Thanks alot Steve. So The problem was resolved when they discovered they put in the wrong Temp sensor. All else is good! well sort of:)

Josh, thanks for the response. I'll do my best to answer the questions. Q- "Did you "need" a new radiator and expansion tank after an overheat episode?" A- Yes I did. The coolant expansion tank had actually melted where the the cap is supposed to seal, and the radiator was origin...
