Hello, I noticed in your post that you have a Ranger Turbo Diesel. I was wondering how you like it? Are you able to get parts? i.e. glow plugs, glow plug relay, timing belts etc. The reason I am asking is that I acquired an 87 turbo diesel in the summer and I plan to put the engine in

Hi Luc All, you wrote... Is your friend aware that the fuel pump in his '05 TDI may not be BD friendly ? There have been several posts here about that. From what I gathered it might even void the warranty, if that is a concern. Luc I have a newbie/wannabe question The above

I have a newbie/wannabe question The above word of caution peaks my interest as I am seriously shopping for a TDI... I drive a min of 150KMs per day.. A TDI with Bio seems like the solution however I think it would be foolish to run a newer vehicle with BD if it voids the warranty.. Hi

Hi John, Makes sense to me ... Like the next fella, I don't enjoy paying bills but I can also see VW's viewpoint... If the fuel, BD, SVO or whatever you put in your tank damages the product why should they take the blame. My next step is to find out how the local dealers ( all of 2) feel

drop to around 24 degF, which caught a few B100 folks by surprise this morning. A friend of mine who had 1/2 a tank of b100 in his 2005 Jetta TDI wagon hopped in his car, drove about a block, and stalled out. No way that solid block of fuel was moving. So... I met him with 5 gallons of
