[Vwdiesel] TDI Head Bolt Tool

[Dave Cook]

Thanks, Brian.  I believe I have all those so I should be set for when I start in on a TDI probably this weekend.

I am currently nearly ready to pull the head on a 1.8T Jetta.  That one uses a "Polytool" tool.  It looks similar to an allen socket, except the end is sort of like Torx, but deeper.  And it is like 5 inches long.

I don't know why the heck VW couldnt have just used the same type bolts across the board.

I will have two '02 Jetta Turbos at my house soon with the heads pulled off.  One the gasser 1.8 T and the other my friends TDI.  Hopefully I can keep them straight!
