Anyone have a line on a exh manifold from a later b5 TDI? ��
Looks like GG's going to pick it up.And if that transmission isn't claimed already, I may be interested. Depends on how this shift tower rebuild goes on my daily. It will save me from pulling a gasser one and seeing what it takes to transfer diesel final drive over.
If the tower is actually shot that is what I will do, but I fear that the trans is bad - possible shift fork. Tower rebuild stuff got here today.Looks like GG's going to pick it up.
IIRC shift tower just more or less pulls out without major disassembly, why not grab one from the junkyard from a gas motor trans and jam it into your diesel trans?
low ratio final drive is the hot rod thing to do anyways.With the amount of gas transmissions I can get for $100 at the junkyard, I would probably go that route for the mk2 anyways.![]()
That was my idea for the mk2 if it comes to that. I'd rather not have to but you know how it goes...low ratio final drive is the hot rod thing to do anyways.
My idea of an 02j would start with a 1.8t trans for the close ratios and high first, then TDI fifth and final.
I have a 1.8t 02j if anyone wants to go that route.low ratio final drive is the hot rod thing to do anyways.

Cool beans.[486] - I have a dead 01m you can have. I'd be happy to bring it along when we meet up.
I actually did, also in TCEuros. I am buying a mk3 tdi o2A and flywheel (single mass!!!!) for cheap and will probably use the o2j out of my mk2 for the wagon, and throw the o2a in the mk2. That is unless I drill and tap the o2a for a dogbone mount, then its getting put in the wagon as it has a lower final drive.violentaesthete - Did you just post on the eurowerks FB group about your broken shifter? I have a complete 99.5 shifter box you can have if that helps.
Sam - Good observation. I asked about the steering wheel. When I asked about that he quickly sent me a photo and a video that shows it straight when the wheel is straight. So I'm not sure what was up in that photo. As well as 3 videos if it running and it sounds just like my other BEW'sThe fact that the steering wheel is so far off from the wheel position disturbs me.
BTW gang, I finally hit 300K this weekend.
Nice work Sam. My 02 is just crossed 310k. Still going strong.BTW gang, I finally hit 300K this weekend.
oof! that's downright painfulPosting for a friend to see if anyone recommends someone to replace turbo in their TDI. She lives in Andover and was just quoted $3300.
I will try to get Year details in a bit.
It is an 09 Jetta.

Anyone local with the bearing tool willing to help me replace a front bearing on my b4v?
I hope to confirm it's the bearing vs cv or whatever tomorrow.

Thanks much!
Aron, I dunno if you still post here, but I took my 2011 to Autobahn for maintenance when I lived up in Duluth. The guy that runs it was an Audi technician for about 10 years and has factory Audi training.I'm looking for a mechanic in Northern Minnesota. Anyone from Duluth have any experience with Autobahn Service or Foreign affairs and/or have a preference? Or, if you have a recommendation closer to Grand Rapids/Hibbing, that's even better. Thank you.
Try Orr Autosport in Eden Prairie or Nur Technik in Burnsville. They may be able to help.Long time member/ lurker and TDI owner. Had a 2001 TDI beetle since new have 350k on it.
Transmission just went out again and can’t justify the $3000 to rebuild it.
So in my infinite wisdom / midlife crisis I decided I was putting it in a car I liked.
After some research I settled on a 2001 A4 Avant.
Found one at auction for a steal with only 113,000 on it, V6 5spd.
I think I can handle most of it but was wondering if anyone in the area can do ECU flashes/tunes and is fimiliar with Audi VW interactions ?
I am located in Milltown, WI but Work in Arden Hills, MN.
Any tips or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
I’m a truck mechanic by trade and have done all the maintenance on my car ( minus automatic transmission work)
Thanks
