[Vwdiesel] PD cam failure & Guttless Jetta

[travis gottschalk]

I would be very interested in knowing the facts on the cam as well. I did find that there isn't much fact on the tdiclub.com website either as your really have to search for the facts and most of the things are off topic. I have only taken the valve cover off my 04 Golf and the cam looks fine so far at 69K miles. I can't verify if the correct oil specification was used before me as I bought it at 58K miles. 

With the Jetta being under powered, don't forget that it may have a higher geared tranny. My truck has much better go power then my car did with the same rebuilt engines but my car was at a lower rpm. Check the tranny code and search the gear ratios on the net. Either that or invest in a larger engine. My car recieved the 1.9 td engine and now there isn't any passing problems.
