Pittsburgh GTG - Oct 14th

Let's do this again!
Saturday the 14th of October, at my place in Sewickley. Id like to get a head count on who can make it. I sent out messages to all who came in June. Hope to see yinz again.

There is alot of work to be done on my TDI. Some fun and some not so fun. Suspension, Sprint Injectors, Intake cleaning, Steering wheel, and diagnosing an oil leak. Hopefully I'll get some of that done by the 14th so I can hang out, but I may need some help with the oil leak.

Jeff Robertson of rocketchip will not be able to make it, as he will be at Old Navy's GTG the same day. We may try to reschedule something before winter gets too ugly.

Post what you want to work on, and we'll make sure we have all the tools.

I've got the latest Vag-Com here.
And a set of Steel Wheels for sale if any one is looking for a Winter Tire Set (tires not included)

cheese,
Frank

Hey Greg, feel free to bring your, um... clients.

If the weather is nice, I'll grill.

First of all the "clients" are us. He would be bringing the "act".

Bumpa dump up

I'll send out some directions. Who needs em?

If I bring any of my girls to put on a show, nothing will get done on the cars.

Is anyone coming that has the tools, the know how, and is willing to advance my timing? It has been 30K since I had the new TB put on and my timing has retarded to the bottom of the graph on the vag-com from TB stretch and the car has to chug a time or two on the cold mornings to start. Would really like to get the timing back up to the top of the graph or just a little over the top since it starts way better in the cold weather that way.

I can come for a while early, but will need to get home to catch a few hours sleep before work.

I have experience with the intake cleaning, get some oven cleaner. I took my intake off and went to the local carwash and pressure washed the crap out of it. Most of the gunk came right out except for where I could not get the water stream to directly hit the inside surface. Spray the oven cleaner in there to soak and then pressure wash again to blow the rest of the crap out. It worked like a charm and my intake was spotless when I was done.

Greg

I will try to catch the early portion of the day and can help tweak Greg's timing.
Better send me directions again...

Looks like it might get cold this weekend!

It's alright, the garage is heated!

Sorry I can't make it this weekend guys. I'll see you at the next one!

Thank you Metalnerd. What time is the GTG starting?

How about 10:00. We should have about 6 or 7 guys here. Sorry you can't make it Sandor. Your kielbasa makes a good stead!

Dave, you wanna do your brakes?

Just noticed this thread... unfortunately I can't make it I already had plans... I will keep my eye out for your next one! Answering the other thread I am a little over 2 hrs away per MAPQUEST-DIRECTIONS

Hey, I'm glad you were all able to make it over. Alot was accomplished, and I did get my suspension on the front.

Thanks Metalnerd, my car is running great now.

Don't try this at home!!! Dave shows how he uses his head as a Jack stand!


Chuck, Yea you definately made the day! You're the man!

Hi Greg,
I am glad it worked out.
Frank, thanks for the hosting. Gotta love that garage!
