#2563 of 3704 Locate Engine Size by donai Nov 15, 2008 (4:09 pm)
My son's 96 Jetta GL 4 cyl stick needs new exhaust system. He's 5 hours away,and I need to locate the litre size to order replacement parts to install within 2 days when he's home. Where or how do I, or he, locate this info? Replies to this message: inlarry (Nov 15, 2008 4:59 pm)

Replying to: donai (Nov 15, 2008 4:09 pm) The 1996 Jetta GL was only available as a 2.0L, unless it's been aftermarked modified. Try Benzbin.com, they're pretty good for parts for VW.

Replying to: r108j (Oct 22, 2008 8:35 pm) Engine harness was replaced last week. So far the MIL has stayed off.

Does anyone know of a good distributor, website etc that sells discounted parts and accessories for a 2009 Jetta? Replies to this message: sebring95 (Nov 20, 2008 5:22 am) redvw (Nov 20, 2008 6:36 am)

Replying to: hlcastelo (Nov 20, 2008 5:10 am) I haven't bought from them in awhile, but www.worldimpex.com was the best back when I had my TDI. If you can't find it on the site, call them.

#2570 of 3704 Cold weather starting by shrifty Nov 22, 2008 (9:57 pm)
For the past week the temperature has been below freezing, at times around 15 F. I had to wait maybe 3 - 5 seconds for the glow plugs to heat up, and the car started and ran fine with no fuel issues so far. As the winter progresses, and my car sits outside, would it be advisable to use anti-gelling additive? If so, what type should I use?

Replying to: shrifty (Nov 22, 2008 9:57 pm) The refinerys start to produce winterdiesel in the fall or when they feel the temps are going to drop.     It does not hurt to add some anti-gel conditioner,if the temperature drops down suddenly,just in case you still might have some summer diesel in the tank.

Replying to: shrifty (Nov 22, 2008 9:57 pm) Most around here recommend running Powerservice or similar all the time as the increase in cetane is a good enough excuse alone. It also gives you some protection against bad diesel if you would encounter it. This is more important in the winter because if the fuel supplier screws up (forgets to treat, doesn't use enough, or fuel has some water in it) it will become a big problem in the winter. The general consensus is the very small price of the additive will pay for itself regardless, so it's cheap insurance.
