1998 VW Jetta TDI Straight Pipe AHU A3

How much did the crankshaft and followers cost to replace? What kind of oil are you using at present? My 1997 Jetta 1.9L TDI with 90 hp requires synthetic oil.

When are you gonna review the other Jetta?

How reliable are these? I know the MB are bullet proof, but very expensive to fix. Are th VW's as expensive to fix? How often do they break? I have been looking to buy one, but i dont know anything about diesel engines. I had a Toyota with a 22r that died at 500K so i was looking for one of those, but they are either rotten, or to expensive. I just want to drive to and from a trainstation... Do the diesels still start in the cold? I have heard issues with that. Any help would be great.
