Just got a 2005 Passat TDI with 113k miles. Wowed by the mpg!!! Love the car! Working with a mechanic recommended by the forum here in Georgia to get the TB, BS, and alternator pulley done soon. Also getting a code for engine speed sensor/crankshaft position sensor. Trying to research that and see if it has to be replaced or if simply cleaning it would work? Great info on here!

I've seen people over here having good luck with cleaning the crankshaft sensor on other vag cars, especially if it's at the gear box end because they can get a bit covered in clutch plate dust.

Welcome Nikk, there's lots of good information here. I used Roger down in Hampton when I replaced the TB on my New Beetle last year. He works with Troy, who is the guru on the north side of Atlanta. Enjoy your TDI!
