[Vwdiesel] TDI questions

[Matt]

Pull on the fan switch using pliers around a towel.  Using the towel 
will keep you from scratching the crap out of the control.  Right under 
it is a bulb.  Its about a buck at the dealer.

Depending on the year of your Jetta wagon, it sounds like you have a 
defective mass airflow sensor.  These are being replaced by VW up to 
70K miles.

Good luck!
