Ahh, Gilbert

Haha, I know, right! One would think I'd have some peach trees! I always gotta be different.

Dan, do you have a manual with a wiring diagram for a 2011 Golf?

DanG144 · February 29th, 2012, 03:07

My Bentley manual says it only goes through 2010.

I will be working in the shop Saturday 3/17/2012 with sprintersteve and elfnmagik on some minor projects.

Elfnmagik · March 15th, 2012, 07:53

I plan on being there around 10-ish.

Robert6401 · March 15th, 2012, 12:41

Sounds like a fun day! Enjoy it gentlemen.

Steve and his son Jonah are replacing the small radiator fan, thermostat, head coolant outlet fixture, 01M fluid and filter, oil change, dogbone mount, and O-ring on the EGR valve.

Elfnmagik (David) is putting stainless steel rods in his fuel pump (common rail lift pump) and fuel filter change.

DidJettaRun (Bruce) is replacing some rear brakes for a friend on a gasser Jetta. No good deed goes unpunished - the bolts have all be re-used and are buggered up. He is fighting it to a standstill.

DanG144 · April 7th, 2012, 05:53

I will be working in the shop until about 6 pm this evening.
A 2006 Jetta TDI cam inspection about 10 am.
An ALH checkout about 2 pm.

Drop by if you wish.

Hi Dan

Got all the parts in for Hanna's BRM soon to be BEW cam swap. I want to discuss with you proceedures first. Not sure if I should take your whole day for that but I do have the slope inverter I need to test for the BEW actuators. Let me know if you get any cars in with the reversed actuator and I'll come over to test.

Shoot me an email with your contact phone. I can't seem to find it.

Charlie, I sent my numbers to both email addresses.

The 2006 BRM needs a cam and timing belt. The cam lobes are severely worn at 180kmiles.

SC RIGGR brought over his very nice 2003 wagon, we re-routed his hood operating cable, clamped his battery down, turned down his EGR, found low air flow allowing low power - then found the problem and fixed it. His CCV hose port was open to atmosphere and allowing air to bypass his MAF and filter.

Now for a nap.

Will be in the shop this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, doing a BRM cam and timing belt.

Drop by if you wish.

A/C Question Dan,

i Have 99.5 Jetta
- AC works in fan position 1 but no blower;
-Position 2 no AC or blower , AC light out
-Position 3 no AC, Blower works, AC light out
-Position 4 no AC, Blower works, AC light out

there were recent times when AC would sometimes work on 3 then go out later.

Doing research here, it is either the rotary switch in the controls or the Resistor pack on the blower motor, but did not find definite post of one or other with answer.
Jiggling/ wobbling switch does not seem to make a difference.

What are your thoughts?

DanG144 · April 14th, 2012, 16:32

Most often what you describe is the resistor bank. You can fix it cheaply with thermal fuse from Radioshack.
Be sure to also lubricate your fan bearings. Usually the resistor bank thermal fuse blows because of a dragging fan, giving little cooling air flow and pulling high amps. If you don't fix the root cause, it will just happen again.

NewbeeMC9 · April 15th, 2012, 05:45

Thanks again Dan for your direction from your experience and insight.

I will check it out.
