    Part 2 I had ordered a u bolt flip kit online but the mounting plates and u bolts were way off in measurement...so I made my own with 3/8 plate with reinforcements and 3" ID u bolts.These plates dont even budge at all when torqued. I had shock mounts with 1/2 holes but found out that the...

    Brand new metal impeller pump. These tdi's are known to run cool. Even my newer golf tdi takes a while to heat up even after blocking the rad. It produces heat but only after a really long drive.

    I put some paint stripper on them wishfully thinking the clear coat would peel off and reveal a clean rim but its still showing oxidation marks. I guess they are going silver .

    my truck with the w56 transmission +tdi + 4.56 gears and 33x10.5 revs really high on the highway but its great in town. Im thinking of dropping down to 4.10...or step up to a 35" but I like the skinnies. Also depends on how rev happy your diesel is. I know my older turbo diesel (AAZ) liked the...

    98 Jetta engine code is the AHU 1.9 tdi. It does have a passat BHW 2.0tdi turbo and larger injector nozzles though. The ALH would be an upgrade but not by much.

    Hey Dave, Towing with the older TD (AAZ) motor was okay but not best.I towed a gutted porsche 944 turbo shell with it mainly on flat land and it kept 100-110km/h no problem. However now with the more powerful tdi it should do much better. As for the EGT's, my brand new vdo sensor is not...

Sold off all the electronics which funded my mechanical pump and a few other goodies.If you are handy and want...
