Greetings Folks:
I have lurked here for some time. The information is wonderful and I have learned much. I am not a mechanic of cars but do have basic understanding of mechanics. I put my own timing belts on the steel block oldies.
Have owned diesels from 77rabit 79 Dasher 90 Jetta (256K then retired it) 04 Jetta wagon.
I do not know the engine and trans I have. Yes the engine is 2.0 TDI, but strange. Here is what perplexes me. Needed a starter. Simple install as on MY Jetta, it is Not on any bell housing. It is on the top of the transmission held in by two bolts. It is made by Hitachi. I ordered four wrong starters, could not find one like it, and finally went to dealer who ordered one of the two existing in the North American Continent. I have yet to come across a picture of my car on any forum. I have a tip tronic automatic.
It's good to have joined finally. Yes I have other questions coming. LOL DL
