What I was wondering is if i can go to any vw dealer and have them look it up, if they have a shared system that allows that. If not, then i will just call the dealerships its been serviced and check on oil changes and timing belt changes.i havent looked inside the manifold, its just been stupid cold. i’ll grab my heater back from Jef-fa-fa and have a look at it. If you have a chance to drop by and have a look at it, I’d appreciate it very much, Pete. Just to quickly glance at it and tell me if anything seems off or if it’s all good. damn man, you shoulda said something i would’ve sold you my tdi golf auto with 170k for a deal to ya… maybe if im up that way i’ll check it out. fwiw, the auto isn’t strong in those at all (o1m) most i’d throw at it is a set of nozzles or a basic flash, anymore and it will grenade… also what kills the trannys is the heat they produce, what i do/did was when im at a long traffic light i throw it in neutral… it lasted me a long time and im sure thats what gave it such a long life. o1m’s are ticking time bombs ---

well, when i was buying this was 9 out of 10 for me. i can live with 9 out of 10. i could swap if i had to. i obviously cant do the entire job myself, but if its working fine so far, im not worried about it. ---

even if the entire car is mint? well, ill just keep my eye on the transmission. i was looking into this issue online. seems like its a heat issue, so im thinking a transmission cooler is a good item to put on the car. i dont plan on putting undue stress on it like towing a car uphill, but still, it wouldnt hurt to have one. ---

no , its in the tranny controller that overheats . not the tranny internals . so a cooler is worthless ---

do u guys think that its too small? i remember seeing them on the underside, its the part with the fins, right? because I was thinking of a larger one. the kind that looks like a small radiator with two hoses coming out of it and mounting it somewhere on the front of the radiator right upfront. ---

yea. nothing is broken in the tranny, so im not going to do anything to it. im just thinking ahead. i am reading some threads now on tdiclub, fourtitude, vortex and such and im noticing that those that have problems seem to have them when its summer time and its warm out and after 130kmi or so. mine just turned 114, but that doesnt necessarily mean anything. i’ll just keep it in mind. thanks for the info guys. 🙂 ---
