Is a Jetta TDI a good car? by
Jeff Olsen
I am seriously considering one of these, primarily for the fuel economy
and the potential to run it on Biodiesel. I have never owned a VW and
the reputation sort of precedes them... supposed to be fun to drive,

PeterD
I've an 88 cabriolet that is flooding when hot. Been an off-and-on
problem for a few years, but getting worse.
Recently tuned up, I suspect the '#5" injector may be leaking, but is

Jim Elbrecht
My wife's Cabrio convertible has a weird 'leak'-- actually the problem
is that it isn't leaking enough.
It appears that the design* allows for rain to run off the top and
inside the fenders to the rocker panel where it is drained out through
weep holes. The weep holes are clogged with rust &...

Can anyone provide a sanity check on the cost of replacing the clutch on a
97 Cabrio stick?
Per my mechanic:

jules
We're looking to buy a USED "new" beetle (automatic). I've been doing
some research on whether it's worth getting a TDI rather than a
gasoline version based on the high mpg of a TDI. We've got teenagers
who will be driving it sometimes, so reliability is an issue. I've
