I sold my 03 a while back and with two kids my 09 jetta TDI is just too small for long trips. Here are a few trucks I am going to see and wanted some of your input...
I was looking to get another opinion on my 02 jetta tdi. originally the car would have a surge in idle, blowing white smoke. upon acceleration it would blow HEAVY black smoke unless at full throttle. I unhooked the vacuum line from the egr valve and it runs great now. while it was running...
I know I know this is a truck forum. Unfortunately I no longer own my duramax but have a 2002 and 2009 jetta TDI. Would the moderators please consider adding the TDI to the lineup?

this morning on the way to work my driver seat heater was going crazy. It was going from high, medium, low, off by itself at random times no matter what I did to the buttons. On the way home it did not do it, worked just fine when I turned it on too. Any idea what would cause this?

I know the LBZ intake goes right on the LLY's and considering the LB7 and LLY intakes are the same as it looks to me then would the LBZ intake work on the LB7?
I would imagine its the head gasket on my mothers truck but since I am not there I won't know till I see it. Anyway any other thoughts on what could be wrong? She had it scanned at advance auto and the only codes were the glow plug relay, which is something that has never been done but its out...
