my friend is really fusterated and we are not sure what he can do. He bought a new 2011 jetta TDI and when he brought it back for its free oil change and checkup they advised his warrenty is void due to him liveing in oregon and filling up with oregon diesel. It seems as VW has a 5% bio limit for th...

A freiend just showed up to my place in a new 2011 TDI jetta, one sweet car except the front end is a bit old looking. What real world MPG can he expect? Lots of rumors that the old 1.9's 45MPG days are long gone? What are the key differences between the 1.9 and the 2.0 other than the new clean cat ...

no prob Fatmobile- been a while since iv been on here- you guys really helped me out with the engine rebuild and specificly the cam and pump timeing! i need to take some new picts, the only good quality non cameraphone photo I have is from the day i bought it, same condition as seen above just all 4...

5k on dyno 15w40 anyting less than that is overkill, the block will ridge around 400k anyway. i change my dodge cummins every 10k.

there are a few videos on u tube of runaway, one tdi and a toyota preavia

Iv had issues with dex-cool, every rig iv used it in has coolant issues, even our 1996 chevy leaks somewhere on the back of the block. I tired it in my 1985 golf diesel, blew out the waterpump within 6 months. used it in my Toyota truck, softened the hoses and upper rad hose blew. I switched all rig...

well, wife made a great point- my 50MPG project of last decade is now just sitting around not being driven, it still starts up and runs perfectly with all parts bought from jack but someone else could benefit of its mileage like I did in 2002. Willing to sell for $1,000 for vwdieselparts members or ...

when I rebuilt my 1.6L i used 2 quarts of 15w40 and 2 quarts of non-deg 30w, fired it up- brougt it up to full tempature. found the largest hill I could find and floored it WOT up the hill for about 1 mile to seat those rings HARD, then drove lighly for a few miles to let the heat blead out of the r...

Well everyone, its been over 8 years now since I rebuilt my 1985 4 door vw golf diesel and its engine with all of your help and jacks parts, i put 50,000 on it and now it is just sitting around. THe car is in good condition What should I ask for this car if I do put it up on craigslist? PM me with a...

It was actually in my heavier A2 1985 Golf, granted tires at 45psi and flat ground without any stop signs. The wifes mother has a 08' prius, i just dont buy the long term cost saveings and im not sold on the CVT trans My 02's civic gets 42mph on unleaded and 38 on E-10 with a nice standard 5 speed t...

I also noticed this, before I took my car to my friends barn to sleep the winter off I fully tuened the car up with new fuel and airfilter, changed the oil over to amsoil 10w40 motercycle oil that I dumpped out of my quad (its still golden clean) waxed it, aired the tires to 45psi- un-stuck the rear...

85' non turbo golf with 410k miles, re-ringed old ridged block due to lack of funds 50k ago:
45MPG and uses 1qt every 3k miles

get a mann oil filter, only a couple bucks more than a fram. I better change the oil in my vw, its in storeage and has been sitting for 18 months.

I just read the government's rules on CFC program front and back, and the car or truck must get worse than 18 MPG, so that VW diesel should not qualify- I then googled "disqualified" CFC credits and a lot of dealers are killing the customers car then getting denied the credit days later, s...

thats good, mine will hit 210F on long uphills and cool down to 150 or so on the downhill side.
never checked my oil pressure, but i here tripple digits are normal on these engines
