My ex wife just put unleaded gasoline in my VW Golf diesel and drove it 15
miles.  The tank has about 50/50 gas and diesel.  It sat for four days and

My new-to-me '95 Golf GL seems to have an OBD II port.  I was thinking of

My 2001 Passat 1.9 turbo deisel has huge amounts of water entering the rear
footwell from the warm air vent under the drivers seat. I cannot find where

My new (to me) Golf TDI 90 bhp, that I was initially led to believe was
100 bhp, but isn't, seems to be pretty flat performance wise.

Thanks!
