Anybody aware of any changes in the tail lamps and lamp sockets between the model years? My 93 has [rusted out] metal sockets, do the newer model years have a better [plastic] plug and or a different lense and socket assembly? Going to hit the junk yard for a newer set if available with plastic sockets otherwise we will have to improvise. Thanks, Joe

 

All kinds of people on the forums right now. Surely somebody has changed a tail light bulb and is familiar with what is back there! bump!

 

Bump...

 

Found brand new metal sockets via the interweb, still prefer plastic. Anybody? Joe

 

you could use normal plastic sockets as i did but its kind of tricky to fit them on to the tail lamp and put some sealant or silicon around it because it does not tights , i changed my tail lights and corner lights to clear and used led bulbs and thats what i did , the wholes on the old tail lights where melting , thats why i decided to change to leds!!!

 

is this turbo diesel? if yes go for biodiesel

 

yes its TDI ,the only thing is that in my country there is no Bio Diesel avaliable yet ,i wanted to use GLP but i was afraid of it at that time , so i decided to swap to a diesel engine , it is a lot better to use GLP couse of the swap and re gearing and all that stuff but its sweet to last a whole month with a full tank of diesel instead of a week with gasoline , soon as we get bio diesel sure will used, love my planet!!!

 

you can convert your engine to run with used vegetable oil and diesel mixture. you will only need a pre heater to heat vegetale oil and a filter to filter particles inside your fuel mixture. first off all of course you will filter your oil before mixing it with diesel.

older TDI can even work on %100 vegetable oil. you can find lots of information over internet.
