Hello all,
2011 Jetta TDI, 280,000 km. Hydrolocked the car for the 3rd time last night, looking for some further direction.
Deleted and tuned the car two weeks ago, Buzzken full exhaust, removed the EGR canister, EGR cooler and EGR valve still remain on the car - although disabled through the tune. I drained the water from the intercooler pipes when I installed the exhaust (~5ml of water in the cold side pipe, none on the hot side).
Since the install it has been two weeks, and I put on about ~800 kms, the car has done quite a bit of idling the last few days, temps fluctuated from -10 C to +6 C give or take. Anyways, hydrolocked last night. I originally thought the deletes would fix this issue but apparently not.
I don't have the VW "fix" intercooler kit, but I have heard that it didn't solve the issue on stock cars.
Has anyone done a drain valve setup on the cold side intercooler tube? Looking for some inspiration/ideas.
Thanks! Oh and once I rid the cylinders of water the car still runs well.
