I just bought an 06 VW Jetta TDI.  Never had a diesel before.  Besides
following its maintenance schedule, what else should I be aware of or
make sure gets done on it to prolong its life?  Come on all you
gearheads, now's your chance:  enlighten me with your wisdom!

I am trying to remove my 82 Rabbit diesel steering wheel and can't
figure it out. I have removed plenty of steering wheels before but I
can't figure out how to get this metal horn switch plate out of the

pump, thermostate, head gasket, fan works, rad looks fine ...

Note this is long with lots of details but I believe it is important to
understand what is going on.
I posted a couple of months ago about my 1984 Gti Rabbit.  I originally
thought that I had fuel pressure problems.

I have way to much fuel in the exhaust of my 85 Vanagon. After reading

I bought a Bora a while ago. It's a TDI 130 Sport with a Tiptronic auto box.
I have a problem with the delay that exists when it pulls away. There are no
revs at all for a second or more and then they come in. It's not turbo lag,
it's simply revs, nothing. It doesn't happen all ...
