I'm new to these cars. I got one of these a few months ago and planned on
using it as a project to restore for fun. I have been driving it as is
because it worked. I do have to get it smogged and clean up some neglect
but it was getting me around ok with no funky noises.
Yesterday I came

held it in a couple more times and it grenaded.
gti i got back on road popped out of fifth today. it stayed in with little

is there some kind of decoder? when i search google i come up with few and
differing answers. i want to find out what engine i have so i can make
sure i get the right intermediate shaft and stock parts to get it smogged.
the block says: 051 103 021
the head says: 051103373

thanks that info helps i will get this car going again.
car was running fine to me. last drive i came off freeway to oil light and i

right away when i stab the throttle and it

anybody know how long it should take to throw a code? i just warmed the

i am close to taking it in for smog. i had to go back and trace wires,

yet another reason for me to stick to old vw mechanical diesels :)
if there was fuel left over i will just crank them and run them. if not i
could bring an electrical pump in a bucket of fuel to force some new
fuel/atf into the system, maybe sit for a day if the fuel system is crusty
and then
my dream car that i am going to restore in the near future is mk2 diesel
title with a mtdi engine. plan to keep it a long time, its more fun to
drive than my rabbit.
i have a couple mk2 chasis that i assume have original rubber. these
pieces surprsingly don't seem cracked but i am curious if
thanks to google i found some vw bulletin on converting over to r134 from
r12. i got 3 ac cars to bring back to life and it should be easy but i got
some questions.
1. they list the different compressors with differing amounts of oil, etc.
how the heck do i find out what compressors i have
