Hello Everyone,
This is my first post. I am a Master Mechanic with multiple brands, but have limited diesel experience. My son bought his first car, a Mk4 TDi Wagon (BEW), and we are going through it now. EGR clean (will do manifold later), brakes, a pair of front fenders (corrosion here in New England). The fuel is old, about 2 years, but it started up, and I took a sample, and I don't see any micro, but I am sure there must be some. I have a couple questions:
-Would it be okay to run the tank down using like Stanadyne or Power Service, then change the filter?
-What will be the changes to the front if I leave out the rust causing foam rubber baffles in the front fenders?
-Why is the H E double hockey sticks does the cowl drain right into the inner fender well, where all the debris goes as well. and does someone make a kit already to redirect this water/debris to the ground, away from the cavity behind the inner fender
Thank you in advance for the replies!
