iPod cable for 09 Nav Models by rv65

If you're an iPod owner with a 2009 model with Nav you'll need 000 051 446 C. This is the special iPod cable for the Media-In port. You get full integration and it's a little pricey. The BMW cable costs over $350. 000 051 446 C can be obtained at your dealer or online. Shouldn't cost no more than $70 but people are paying around $50 to $55 for it.

This cable does work with the iPhone as well. It also charges the iPod/iPhone while driving.

The BMW USB/Aux port is $400 but the cable is included.

MIL Light by paddler2

I just had my alternator replaced over the weekend. This morning, my car was hesitating as I accelerated and started belching some black smoke. Then my MIL light came on. Any ideas?

It is a sure bet that the act of replacing the alternator caused this problem.

TDI cold start/idle issue by 05TDI
Jan 06, 2009 (10:03 am)

I have a early 05 Jetta TDI/w 5 speed auto. I have a little over 100K on it, and have never had any engine issues, until now. I changed the timing belt a few weeks ago using a tool kit from dieselgeek to lock the engine components in place. I turned the engine over by hand(wrench) after with no issues. Started and drove the car when I was done and no problems. It took a few days to have cold temps out, but as soon as it got cold and every time since, if I start it when it's cold it idles rough; low then high RPM, and the engine is unresponsive to the pedal until the idle returns to normal, usually a minute or two. Then it runs as normal until it sits in the cold again. I took it to a VW mechanic for trans flush and while he was connected to it he looked and found no codes of any sort. He suggested air in the fuel line as I had also changed the filter, but i have put 2K miles since and it hasn't improved any. The dealer changed what they call the injection pump just after I got the car new, and I have had no problem of any sort until I changed the timing belt, but I don't know how this could have caused this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

It could be a stuck closed "intake flap", located in front of
the EGR valve...
 
When looking at the engine, it's located behind & to the left
of the oil filler cap.
 
Follow the black intake tube/hose (on the left) to where it
attaches on the intake... that's the intake flap/EGR.
 
Make sure the black rod is fully extended away from the black
pod (the vacuum operated device that sucks the rod in).

Did you verify and validate that your IQ (InjectionQuality) is set properly. It is not unusual to have cold-temp running issues when the IQ is set too low (even when still in spec). I made certain my IQ is at the very top of the specified limits after TB replacement.
 
Even the local VW TDI guru (NOT DEALERSHIP!) has told me that he always sets IQ to very top of spec. when doing TB replacement.

We have the same vehicle year. Mine was purchased March 08 and starting and driving at 35 F then was fine. This year starting at 15 F and below is a bit different. For the first 30 seconds the engine sounds like a basket full of mechanical failure with the rpm fluctuating a little, then it straightens out. The engine is weaker when this cold but it's okay after a mile or so. When I do the timing belt in 15k miles I will pull the valve cover and inspect the cam and lifters for signs of failure related to the PD engines. Not drawing any conclusions, just FYI.
