Russell's Review of
the Nitrile Mechanics Gloves :
These gloves are fantastic! I use LOTS of
these working on any car repair or project. If you are sick and
tired of getting black oil, grease, dirt or any other yuck on your
hands, then these are a must have in your tool box. I have used
Nitrile gloves for years. Superior to Latex gloves especially if
you are alergic to latex. Powder free, thick enough not to tear
and thin enough to handle even the smallest nut or bolt you may want to
hold. I use them everyday and my hands thank me!
One size fits all.
The Nitrile Mechanics
Gloves includes:
One hundred gloves per box.

To make it easy on you and save
you time and money, I put together the Deluxe Diesel Purge Kit.
It contains everything you need not only to do the purge, but
has both fuel filters to boot. Since the diesel purge will clean
the sludge and carbon out of the injection pump, nozzles, fuel
lines and fuel filters, it is always smart to replace BOTH of your
fuel filters immediately after doing a purge. This kit can be used on all
VW diesel engines.
This Kit includes
ALL the items available in the Basic Diesel Purge kit PLUS:
VW Tdi kit
below
Russell's Review of the Deluxe Diesel
Purge Kit:
I think this kit is a great value! I have
taken the time to include and package everything you need in one
simple package. No need to run to the auto parts store for fuel
hose, finding a proper juice bottle or separately ordering fuel
filters. There is nothing like letting an expert do it
"all" for you. This kit is a "no brainer"
for saving money and time. This is the exact same kit that I use
in my shop to do purges.
Replace
those old leaking, brittle and cracked diesel injection return
lines with my exact fit kit. If you smell diesel fuel or notice
that your lines appear wet or brittle, you need to replace them
now! These are the correct metric, made in Germany, black cloth
braided return lines that your car came with from the factory. Not
some cheap made in China parts store junk. The lines are the
proper inside diameter to fit snugly on the injector tips, and the
proper outside diameter to fit the injector tip cut out in each
injector. These lines fit and look proper.
This kit can be used on all
VW diesel engines except pump duse.
Russell's Review
of the Injector Return Line Kit :
This
is a very simple do-it-yourself project. I have replaced countless
numbers of injector return lines with my exact fit kit. The bottom
line is, rubber fuel lines don't last more than a few years in an engine
compartment, before they loose their elasticity. I like to think
of this as an every 2 year preventative maintenance item.
Stop suffering in the
cold morning with no heat. The diesel engine by nature is slow to
heat up due to its thermal efficiency.
This 1000 watt block heater is easy to install and works like a charm.
Selling for 1/2 of what others sell for.
This kit can be used on all
VW or Mercedes diesel engines.
Russell's Review
of the VW 1000 Watt Block Heater Kit :
Stop giving all your hard earned
money to the VW mechanic. At about $95 per hour, you can do the job
yourself and save a ton of cash. A cold engine does not start at its best! Don't wait till it gets cold to install this high powered block and
coolant heater. Heats the engine and cooling system for a quick start-up on those cold mornings. Made of a
heavy duty element and electrically grounded for safety. Those cars running on WVO or Veggie really need a good block heater to
reduce the time you have to run on petroleum. A warm engine
reduces wear on rings and valve train components. Also a reduction
in start-up emissions with a warm engine will result. Reduce smoke
and decrease the time it takes to achieve full oil pressure at
idle. Great for engines with high miles or lower than normal
compression. Helps them start MUCH more quickly and reduces glow
plug system and battery wear. Having a good block heater really help the old
car start with a minimum of complaints. Having the engine warm
when you go to start, makes a dramatic decrease in wear since there is
less thermal expansion that must take place, compared to a stone cold
engine. Also if your engine did not come with a factory block
heater, then you are looking at a real job installing one.
This kit will work on
all VW's with the diesel or gasoline motor.
You just need to
get some 5/8 inch hose at the parts store (about 2.5 feet) and hook it
up. General directions, bracket and hose clamps come with
the heater, but you need to adapt them for your Tdi. The
directions are not Tdi specific, but you can figure it out.
I will email you a pdf file of
how the install should go on a Tdi. With pics!
Is your glow
plugs not glowing properly.
This kit can be used on all
VW Tdi engine up to and through 2004..
Russell's Review
of the VW Glow Plug Set:
Your glow plugs don't last forever. Why put a cheap set in
your Tdi when you can use the OEM type plugs. A fresh set will light your
car off in a hurry. Comes in a set of (4) glow plugs.
If you have over 100k miles on your
injectors, then you NEED to replace the nozzles. The nozzles are
what actually wear in the injector and determine the fuel spray pattern
and atomization. This part can be used on
VW tdi diesel models only. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
These are stock replacement
nozzles.
Now with the install DVD!
Russell's Review of the
Bosio Injector Nozzles:
A super high quality Italian made nozzle
especially designed for the VW diesel. I just installed a
set on an engine that had 235k on the clock. The result was simply
amazing. Very little smoke at idle, NO smoke when warm and a super
smooth idle. The throttle response was superb also.
These nozzles are far superior to what Bosch sells now. Breath new
life into your diesel pride and joy with a set of Bosio nozzles. Now
comes with the install DVD. Let me show you how to do the job the
right way!
The Bosio Injector
Nozzles includes:
One (1) injector
nozzle set.
One DVD on the install.

If your Tdi pump is leaking then don't buy
a new $2000 pump from VW, fix it yourself. Kit contains the entire
pumps worth of seals. The head and injection pump body are where
99% of all leaks are coming from and is a very DIY project. This part can be used on
VW tdi diesel models 1996-2003 only. Please give year, make model and VIN
# when ordering so we get you the proper kit.
Includes link to full video
instructions on how to do the job from start to finish.
Russell's Review of the
IP seal kit:
Genuine Bosch parts saved the day. I had
over 300k miles on my pump and 1hr of work saved me from having to buy a
new pump. Ask your VW dealer for this kit.....they don't have it,
they want to sell you a new pump. Keep your maintenance cost down
and fix the leak yourself.
The IP seal kit includes:
One (1) IP seal
kit
One special triangle bolt

On any diesel with high miles, it is
often a good idea to perform an injector purge. I have used with great
success the Lubro Molly diesel purge product. I do lots of repair and
maintenance on older Mercedes Benz diesels and find this stuff to work
miracles. The Mercedes will often have a very distinctive
"nailing" sound that comes from a dirty injectors. This product
cleans the injectors in a hurry, and gives the car greater throttle response and
power.
The car I am about to do is a 1998
VW Jetta Tdi with over 207k miles. I have owned the car since new and
wanted to do an injector purge. The process is very simple and takes about
30 minutes total. I can say the results are very worth while and will be
part of my yearly maintenance procedure.
So follow me along as I do the
purge.........
The supplies that I used consists
of 2 feet of 1/4 inch fuel line, 2 feet of 5/16 fuel line, 2 can of diesel
purge, small hose clamps, 1/2 gallon juice bottle, Phillips screwdriver.
This is a close up shot of the
cap. I drilled 2 holes in the top that fit the hoses very tight.
This will be your temporary supply and return hose.
Remove the return line hose crimp
clamp. I used some side cutters and cut the factory clamp off. Be
very careful not to bend the hose too much as the nipple inside the hose is
fragile plastic. You will replace the factory clamp with a screw type
clamp when we are done.
This shows the hose removed and
the plastic nipple I told you NOT to break.
This pic shows the hoses from our
bottle connected to the fuel filter. The return line on the left and the
supply line on the right. The supply line must go to the bottom of the
bottle, the return line just needs to get about half way into the
bottle. Just above the return and supply line is the lines we took
off to do the purge. We will connect them back, after the purge is
complete.
Here is a wider shot showing the
temporary hook up to the bottle. What we have effectively done is
disconnected the fuel tank and made the juice bottle our temporary fuel
tank. Be sure to hook up the line exactly the way they are here. It
won't work any other way. Do not try to bypass the fuel filter. The
injection pump wont last very long if some dirt of impurities get into
it.
Go ahead and start the car with
the 2 can of purge in the bottle. It will take about 20 minutes to use up
the bottle. I turned the A/C on to help put the engine under a small load
to use more fuel. I also sat in the car and varied the RPM's from idle to
3000. This helps to burn the cleaner faster, and makes the overall
cleaning work better.
Here is a shot with the engine
running. You can see the return line inside the bottle flowing the fuel
back. If you have some injector nailing, you will usually notice a great
reduction in noise the first 5 minutes of the cleaning. Make sure to let
the engine run and use up all the cleaner in the bottle. Also make sure
the supply hose is not sucking air when the fluid level gets to nearly empty.
Here is another shot with the
engine running. After the cleaner is used up, shut off the engine and
disconnect the temporary hoses. Reconnect your permanent hoses and road
test the car. You should notice a good difference in power and reduced
smoke.
I hope this was helpful, if you
have any question just drop me an email.
Trasko By-pass filter
installation
Being one to always want to make my
cars last longer than I would ever want to keep them, I decided I wanted to
install a by-pass filter system on my 1998 Jetta Tdi. Since I am an Amsoil
dealer and love the products, I wanted to go with the Amsoil bypass
system. However after searching for space to mount the unit and not wanted
to cut, grind or mutilate my completely stock car, I decided to go another
route.
I have looked for months at
different bypass systems, but they all required me to make some modification to
the car due to the lack of available space. I then found the Trasko
by-pass filter. This filter is both a full flow and by-pass filter in a
very compact unit that mounts to where your oil filter normally goes. All
this and without any modifications to the car. Wahoo!
So follow along with me on how I
installed the filter........
Here is the Trasko by-pass filter
system and the Amsoil 14w-40 that I used. This element in the Trasko is
removable and comes with a handy wrench to take the canister apart. The
unit is well made aluminum with heat dissipating fins. I have noticed a
reduction in engine temp of about 5- 9 degrees since the installation.
Here is the Trasko next to the
Purolator that I had on the car. The Purolator was almost next to
impossible to get on and off at filter changes. It is a little bigger than
the stock VW factory filters and is really too big.
Here is a shot of the filter
mounting base with the oil filter removed. Make sure the large nut you see
is tight, as they have a tendency to loosen up with multiple filter changes over
time.
Another shot of the filter base
and how little room there is in there.
Here is the Trasko unit installed
on the filter base.
Here is another shot of the
installed filter.
I will do an oil analysis at 25k
miles of oil use, to gauge how well the Trasko is filtering the oil. They
company recommends to change the element at the first 5k miles and then at 10k
intervals.
