Price of Diesel

I noticed a number of stations that were involved in the failed effort to quickly drive Reg NoLead way over $2 were important in driving Diesel from $2.60 to below $2.50. The stations trying to drive Diesel back toward $3 were competative on Reg Gas. This week Hess which owns and operates a signific...

Previous owner had Timing belt water pump and a few Misc items done about 80,300 miles as part of a $2 Grand routine maintenance By Dealer!

Golf has around 98,300 miles, but the trip resets to zero when the dash clock flashes to 12:00 on too cold morning starts

2003 Golf TDi Dropped dead could it be Relay 109

Last Saturday my 2003 Golf TDi died on the highway. Fuel system seems OK, I can draw fuel from the almost full tank, through the new fuel filter I pre-filled with fresh diesel. I've looked into the fuel shut-off solenoid valve which may be OK, but now my research has come up with a Relay 109 Problem...

Let 's say the older VWs were designed on Earth. I suspect the TDi 's use technology from crashed UFOs. ...
