Wrong oil put into 2000 VW TDI Golf?


I bought a used 2000 Golf TDI this last summer. The car ran amazingly and I basked in the turbo-charged economy that is VW engineering. After taking it for an oil change at non-VW mechanic, I drove away to find it driving severely underpowered. I took it back afterward only to have them recommend to me that the Intake Manifold and Turbocharger needed to be cleaned. I agreed to it and $500 repair later, my car runs ok, but fails to reach its top gear when on the highway. (Auto tranny ). I replaced the MAS. After consulting endless forums trying to diagnose lack of power, I read in detail the type of oil that the mechanic put in the engine which is 15W-40. I called the mechanic on it and they told me it was a frequent oil used for high mileage vehicles. As we all know, VW recommends 5W-40 or 5W-30 if 40 is not available. Basically, my question is what kind of damage could this do to my car and is this the likely culprit in my lack of power??

It makes me laugh, Americans constantly slating VW. Tell me, how are Chrysler and GM doing financially? And VW? Hmm.

Anyway, incorrect oil can cause damage in the TDi units. Get yourself onto a VW owners forum. Much better than the rubbish you will get told on here.

How to find a good auto mechanic in Kissimmee, Osceola County, Florida

Finding a trustworthy person or a team for any kind of work is a daring task, especially when it comes to the services you don’t know much about. Maybe cars are not one of your interests and you just want to drive a car safely and to keep it in good shape. You don’t want to know what makes it run or how to fix it and you would just be satisfied with paying money to an auto mechanic shop that would in return give you a proper car service. All this sounds good but there are many people who will tell you that it is quite hard to find a reliable mechanic shop that will offer you a great service without ripping you off.

So, how do you find a good auto mechanic shop?

By following the next few tips you will surely be on the right track and have more of a chance to find a reputable auto repair shop.

1. You surely have some trusted friends, whose advice you value, who have a car and have used the services of a local auto mechanic shop before. Asking them if they can recommend any mechanic shop worth attention can save you a lot of time and trouble.

2. Try talking to other people who live close by and have cars similar to yours. They can surely advise you on where to find a good auto repair shop.

3. If you randomly look around for a mechanic shop make sure that they service your type of car. Feel free to walk around their garage to check out what types of cars the mechanics there are working on. This might give you some idea as to the caliber of mechanics working in that facility.

4. Check online for any complaints, feedback or comments for that particular auto repair shop. The Internet is huge and there has to be at least one comment available for that particular shop. Also ask the company for their web site. Usually good companies present their business online. Also checking various communities and forums is one of the best ways to find out about good and bad auto mechanics. A good auto mechanic shop will always have positive comments from their clients.

5. Ask the owner or manager to the detail what kind of repairs will be done to your car. Have them explain what exactly is wrong with the vehicle and if anything needs to be replaced and why, and how much it will all cost. You do not need any surprises when you get you final bill.

6. Ask about the car mechanic shops working hours, how long it will take their mechanics to finish the work and will they offer you a loaner while they work on your car.

7. Once you have all things covered and you know how much work needs to be done ask your mechanic shop for the length of the warranty on the repair that will be done. Six months warranty is great, three months is not bad and if a warranty is around 30 days you will surely have a reason to be suspicious. Another thing you should ask your auto repair shop is whether the warranty given covers both labor and car parts.

8. Don’t settle for the first auto repair shop you come across. Ask around, find out more and be sure to compare quality and prices. Remember that a low or cheap price does not always mean a job well done.

The Actron CP9180 OBD II AutoScanner Plus Diagnostic Code Scanner encompasses many professional features in an inexpensive scan tool. If you are new to diagnostic scanners, this handy tool connects to your vehicle, scans various parts of your car, truck or SUV, and retrieves a list of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and code definitions from your vehicle's computer. But even if you're a veteran to scanners and auto repair, you'll be impressed with the new functionality that Actron has added to the CP9180. This device not only scans your vehicle, it also allows you to freeze-frame live timing and pinpoint your vehicle's problem. Instead of having to recreate a scenario over and over again, you can now playback the timing to scrutinize all the data and make a clear diagnosis. Combine this with Internet connectivity and the ability to interface with a PC, and you have a powerful, professional diagnostic scanner in the palm of your hand. This device is compatible with all OBD II (On-Board Diagnosis II) compliant vehicles manufactured in North America, Asia, and Europe from 1996 to the present. The Actron CP9180 easily scans and retrieves DTCs. View larger. TrueLink Technology assures a fast and accurate diagnostic output. The CP9180 is bilingual (Spanish). View other features. In addition, the CP9180 is fully updateable via the Internet, so it is designed to accommodate future vehicles as well. The device features a large, easy-to-read backlit screen that shows the trouble code and its definition. And although you still have to fix the problem that your scanner detects, this device will deactivate the "check engine" light on your dash so you'll no longer be distracted while you drive. Every Actron scan tool and code reader incorporates CAN (Controller Area Network) and the patented TrueLink Technology which guarantees the tool will link to and communicate with every OBD II compliant vehicle. This assures a fast and accurate diagnostic output -- a key ingredient to an effective repair. The CP9180 is simple and easy to use. The included OBD II cable provides both data and power connections, while the USB cable offers a quick and easy way to connect your scanner to your PC. In addition to connecting to the computer for Internet updates, you'll also appreciate the CP9180's USB connectivity because it makes printing DTCs and other information a breeze. Once the scanner is connected to your vehicle, the user friendly menu provides a variety of information in a snap. This device displays freeze frame data, O2 monitor tests, state emissions, and even records and displays live sensor data so you know what's happening with your vehicle as you make adjustments. Other features include an OBD II code library built right into the tool, an OBD II drive cycle mode, battery power so you can review diagnostic data even when the scanner is disconnected from your vehicle, and a bilingual (English, Spanish) mode. Another important thing to remember is that all emission testing facilities will fail a vehicle that has the "check engine" light illuminated at the time of the test -- even if it is only lit to remind you of a past-due oil change or 60,000-mile tune-up. With this scanner, you can shut off the check engine light and pass the emissions test on your terms. The menu also alerts you of any pending DTCs and reads the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) status. By reading the MIL status the scanner gives insight into what might cause your "check engine" light to turn on in the near future. In this way, the scanner also provides some preventive measures to help you keep a close eye on your vehicle's systems. These functions, combined with the simple keypad used to read, erase, and navigate DTCs, make the CP9180 scanner a perfect solution for identifying problems with your vehicle and keeping you safe on the road.

The Equus 3160 Innova ABS + Professional CanOBD2 Diagnostic Code Scanner is both the professional’s choice for a full-featured ABS and OBD2 scan tool and a great option for the do-it-yourself mechanic.

Enhanced Live Data, including views, graphs and playback of live PCM data streams. With this feature, the user can prioritize live data values (P.I.D.) for quick review and analysis.

Combine this with the unit's Internet connectivity which makes for easy software updates and you have a powerful, professional grade multi-use diagnostic tool that you can count on for years to come. Easy to read, back-litall-in-one screen. Emission status LED systemand one-push function buttons. All-in-One Backlit Screen and One-Push Button Functions Handheld diagnostic tools should put all the information a user needs right in the palm of your hand, but too often other scanning tools bury this data within the device, requiring you to navigate through multiple menus to find what you want. The 3160 is different. Using a combination of its patented all-in-one backlit screen, that allows for viewing 25 pieces of vital information in three languages--English, French or Spanish--all at once, even in low light conditions without having to change screens, and single-button function access to minimize menu scrolling, users are guaranteed quick, efficient access to data they need.

With this in mind, the Innova 3160 has been designed with the ability to read the exact same emissions information as these state-required tests do to determine your chances of passing the first time around. Built around a simple color-coded system where Green = Pass, Yellow = Potential Problems and Red = Fail, users are able to quickly diagnose potential emission issues with the Innova 3160. Other tool manufacturers charge over $100 for this feature alone and a separate tool has to be purchased, but the 3160 includes this with the price of purchase.
