Dan, LOVE IDparts.com, get all my filter kits and some other sm items from
them. Good stuff, ships fast, never dissatisfied with idparts.com.
Yep, try to do all my own work. It's good that I've owned nothing but TDI's
(except for that EXPENSIVW girlfriend, Audi S4$$$$) since '99! Not much of
a learning curve when you've had the same brand cars for 15 years!!
Diesel really is the short term answer for fuel issues, shortages and
such.... America uses TEN MILLION BARRELS of OIL PER DAY!!!!!! (look it up
if you don't believe me) Its got to run out sometime!! There weren't but so
many dinosaurs... fossil fuels WILL run out at some point. Hopefully no
time soon, but you never know! If every one had a TDI, we'd use MAYBE 4-5
MIllion barrels a day! It'd help, if nothing else.... smh about most
americans driving Ford F100's that get 17 mpg! Ford F100 is the top selling
vehicle in america! dumb!

I was just curious on the price and time. I have a 04 Golf TDI and as you
don't mind fixing stuff once and a while as you can't beat the mileage and
the power. I get a lot of my parts from parts geek or idparts.com between
the two I feel I get fairly good prices and quality parts.

Daniel...
Now thinking deeper, it was about '08 before the economy hit the crapper
that I had to redo my ac compressor.

I sold by B4 passat TDi in '10 for a audi S4, drive it two years then had
to get another tdi, once youre used to getting 45-50 mpg average, you can
never go back!!!!!!!!!! Every time I got in my beautiful audi s4, I
cringed... she got about 20 mpg and wanted premium fuel!! 370 miles on 18
gals, average, of 92-93 octane. I was used to goinog 700-750 miles a tank
(18 gal too) in my B4 passat disel!
I thought of her as that expensive GF you had once, that wanted all your
money!!! Sure was fast though! Just like those GF's! lol

heres my old audi, '04 S4...

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e94/jstamey75/audi%20a4%20ultra%20sport/2-1.jpg

now you see why I've had 4 VW tdis as my dailys!!!!!!!

I've put over 400K miles on 4 TDI's and otehr than that ac comp, the most a
repair has ever cost me was $70 for a N75 valve and all vacuum lines (and
that was actually on the 97 B4 passat), I did it all myself, the actual
labor. the shop wanted to get me a new turbo for $500! So I went home and
dedicated a coupla hours on tdiclub.com and figured it out.

The compresssors are now about $500 now.... for the 97 passat tdi ac
compressor:
heres one on fleabay for $400!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/170110055659?lpid=82


A3, jetta, and b4 passat, used same tdi engine in mid to late 90s, I think
the VW engine code for those lines of cars were AHU. My tdi motor now in my
06 jetta is a BRM. 1.9 liter

I dont BS! I'm real as real can be!!!! ac compressors vary from car to car,
one can be had for 100, then some can be 1200!!
Just trying to help!!

y'all all have fun at the t3 fest, I'd come if it were several hundred
miles closer to home
