    My VW MK5 TDI

    Hi everyone.
    After one year searching for another VW - found one nice VW Golf TDI 1.9 2006.
    Few pictures when they arrived at my place.
    As you can see there is very dirty car inside and outside:

    First thing boys is to clean out the inlet, so start learning and searching things like Subaru upper intake cleaner - and find a diesel specific cleaner like Motul etc. These TDI's really gum up on their own waste beyond 100k's, and cleaning it out prevents moving parts failures, allows it to breath properly, and keep the power up and the fuel consumption down!

    mate post away up here, let all the diesel brains chip in. There are no silly questions, and believe me I get some crackers from some very experienced people when it comes to diesels.
