Hello All, Just recently discovered the forum....Looks like I have ALOT of reading to do.

My Cars:

After running Mercedes Diesels that past 5 years or so, I decide to branch out into VW.

I purchased a 1985 Jetta Turbo Diesel (5 speed) back in November, and last week I purchashed a 2009 Jetta TDI for my wife, and a 2005 Passat TDI for myself. Been a busy few months in the car buying department for me

Not looking to do anything specific at this point to the 09 Jetta, or the 05 Passat (Other than find a good Sirius/Ipod solution). I will be addressing the 85 Jetta in the next few months, really only needs some (minor) rust repair and general cleanup....runs great and I have been driving it daily for the past few months (100 miles a day)...looking forward to learning from everyone about the vw diesels, and general upkeep on the new ones.

Thanks for all the great information so far.

With that many projects in such a short time, make sure your head doesn't explode! Minor rust repair? LOL...

Someone else you may want to check up on, the B5 Passat oil pump and balance shaft chain issue.
