DG to DJ ?
Can anyone explain the basic differences between the DG and the DJ engines, apart from cc. I was considering replacing my knackered DG engine with a Golf GTI lump, but due to the extra complications because mine T25 is an Auto, I've been told by the garage that I'd be better off sticking with the bo...

Re: Kickdown sticking !
Hi Rob, I know it's been a while, but I thought I'd give you an update. I've had the van for about 7 - 8 years, in that time it has been serviced, usually when I get it MOT'd, so about once a year in a VW garage, I mentioned this problem to them and they didn't really know what to do about it, I'm n...

Kickdown sticking !
Ever since I've had my T25 auto, there has been an issue when using the kickdown, occasionally it sticks down, ie, the pedal won't come back up, which means when you've speeded up and are expecting to go to third gear, it doesn't, so the engine starts reving high and drastic measures are required, i...

Re: Fuel pump woes
