Former VWDieselParts.com Forum

Hi Everyone, So as my title suggest, my vehicle as an odd issue. When I let off the accelerator completely with the clutch engaged the wheels pull to the left a bit, and when I hit the accelerator again they pull back to the right. It doesn't do it so much when accelerating and shifting gears, but i...

Hello, Just thought I'd seed what the forum's thoughts were on clear polyurethane fuel lines with WVO. Fatmobile, I think I remember you saying that you use them. How have they held up? Most specifically, to the heat. I've tried clear vinyl (and am currently using some), and braided vinyl. The clear...

Hi all. That time of year again. I'd just like to re-ask my original question.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for the responses. I ended up getting a clip from Ace Hardware, just a little bit smaller than a 1/4" and snipped of the access leaving only a little nub exposed. Worked pretty good. As for the gear oil leak, I've had the car for 5 years and never thought to check the manual tra...

Does anyone know the size circlip that goes on the speedo cable holding the gear in place? I replaced my cable recently and lost it. My tranny has been making tons of noise recently and started slipping in 5th. I was short over a quart of gear oil! :oops: Anyway, I of course filled in via the speedo...

Hello All. So my less than 3 year old exhaust system (muffler and tail pipe) rusted off. I'm thinking of going the stainless steel route so I don't have to worry about the system again. Of course the normal places (merlins, midas etc) don't carry a stainless steel system for an 86 diesel Jetta. Has ...

Thanks for the link to the catalog, I couldn't find the bolt, or any air conditioner parts for that matter. Fatmobile: the bolt on the left side doesn't have an adjuster bolt through it. It is just a bolt through the compressor and bracket with nut. Any other suggestions as to the size or how to des...

Hi everyone, haven't been here in a while (no problems with the Jetta in a while). I noticed the other day that the voltage was fluctuating more than normal. Today I went to adjust the alternator idler to increase the tension on the belt. I was looking first with the engine running and noticed the c...

Whoa....that's crazy!!!! My car was recognised by some random person on the Internet! I guess with all my stickers it is a somewhat memorable car. Yup, that's my car on Todd Farm. I appreciate your offer, that's great to know if I'm ever in a pickle. I'm not really from Elgin, I just live here. I'm ...

Ok, well this topic has been solved. It was an issue of "stupid me." After lunch and a rethink I looked at the problem again and realised that the bracket is in 2 pieces....1 for the alternator and 1 for the compressor. Duh! I took of the alternator portion and viola! Thanks for your help....

Hello, after reading through the forum I see that there are a BUNCH of threads about deleting your AC, but none help with my issue. I had a compressor bolt sheer leaving the end of it in my AC/Alternator bracket. I need to know how to remove the compressor. I have the alternator out and the compress...

Bummer...that's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, I took out the injectors and watched them glow. They're Bosch. I had the same problems last year they just started later in the year...mid to end of October and I had started plugging it in by then.

Yup....not exact though. They were between 250 and 300 psi.

That's what I was thinking.......thanks for the confirmation.
