It seems as VW has a 5% bio limit for th...

Anyone know real world MPG on the new 2.0's yet
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 ...

Re: Use of GM Dexcool flavor of Prestone in TDi

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...

Willing to sell for $1,000 for vwdieselparts members or ...
