Alternator Idler Pulley Bearing Replacement
My alternator idler pulley had some lateral play in it and I suspected it was making the noise I was hearing between 2800 and 2900 RPMs, so I wanted to replace it. The dealer lists this as NLA (unobtanium). They want over $200. I said, "Nein Danke". The pulley is part # 068 260 940 for my ...

So, most of us use a fuel additive from Stanadyne or Power Service (Walm...

Mr. Natural - The car doesn't have cruise control. I wish it did though. Are there any old manual diesels that DO have cruise? I've read about other folks doing aftermarket cruise control setups by tapping into the alternator, but this is all unknown science to me. Yes, I have seen a few NA MK2 Jet...

85 Jetta, Does it have cruise control?
