I have been running 0w20, 5w20 (Mobil One) for 73,000 miles with a min of 10,000 miles. The conventional 5w20 meets the 10,000 miles specifications (FORD/HONDA, Ford being the stricter specifications)

Techline has asked the dealer to replace the engine harness. Part not in the US and needs to be brought in from Germany. MIL was reset and the car returned to me until the part arrives.

I hope you realise that NONE of those oils you mention meet the VW specs for a TDI engine. Your camsahft may be getting scored up pretty bad by now...
I only run PENTOSIN oil in my TDI. (German oil that meets the VW specs) Easilly obtained from TDIPARTS website.

Oh yes !! The post was a response to a question in another post for the HONDA product (synthetic vs conventional issue with diesel being confined to 5,000 miles OCI's), aka NOT the VW TDI product!
Absolutely not! I have run Delvac 5w40 Mobil One Truck and SUV 5w40 ever since the 5,000 miles OCI. (factory fill change) Pentosin is a great oil by the way. TDI parts(off topic) is a great vendor.

What is the timing belt change interval per the owner's manual for the 2009 Jetta TDI? I've read posts and I'm still uncertain. Thank you all.

Hi Ron, tonight when I went to fill up my tank I see what you mean. The station I was at had both ULSD and LSD pumps next to each other. It appears that one of the LSD pumps had been converted to ULSD, and the nozzle was quite big at the end and would not fit at all in my car. Just for kicks, I tried it (bad idea) and made quite a mess.
It's probably best for your son to go somewhere else, or look for a smaller pump nozzle.

This is 20% better news !!
Pre 2009 TB/WP intervals were  100,000 miles and that was up from 60/80 (or so) .

That is good then, I had no idea what it used to be. About how much will it cost to replace this part?
