Thanks again got a new tool to overcome the tamper screw. The tool and the hammer mod worked. Starts easily and doesn't die now. I appreciate the guidance.

Drivbiwire and Herm TDI Thanks!!!!!! I need to get the dam tamper socket I'm running 18.2Mg at 900 rpm. I can electronically adjust to 16.8Mg I'm betting this is my problem I want this car running right I love it I've read the target of 4Mg at idle is the goal? I'm double checking here. I...

I'm looking to adjust the IQ Is there a decent tutorial on how to navigate the VCDS?

Thanks for the tips I will check both out today. I wonder If I missed some chewing on the RPM sensor wires? The RPM seems to read fine on the VCDS. I'll mess with it some and see what I come up with.

There was a bit history to this car that I wonder about. I bought it not running from an auction. There were several new glow plug relays, a new glow plug harness, four glow plugs, a box of latex gloves, a pulley tool for the alternator, and some other stuff in the trunk. The car had rabbit...

80206 Denver I have VCDS

I bought a non running car from an auction. I went through the process of fixing what could be seen wrong. A bunch of harness and fuel line eaten by rabbits. Then I try to start it more problems. Finding myself in your exact spot I finally loosened the crank bolt to find a previous person with...

Thanks, I imagine you did it in the car no pulling the crank? I will search it.

Hello I have some updates. This was somewhat sorted a few months back. Turns out a previous tech/owner must have left the crank to timingbelt pulley loose beating the snot out of both the belt pulley and the crank. I now have the car up and running. I will eventually replace the crank. I just...

Ok it is getting a bit drawn out here. I set the cam, crank and pump on the belt today. When I try to adjust my fuel timing, using a VCDS, It tells me it is to far advanced. As I crank the pump retarding it, right as the car starts to stall the timing is showing spot on. as you back it towards...

It was a bit of a battle. I did not get the VCDS in the end. I used a scan tool and had egr control difference fault, manifold pressure fault, brake switch fault? I was checking out a few things and everything was passing as I checked the components. As I performed checks I could tell others had...

I have the VW manual and checked out a few things this morning. After driving it around the block it did set a check engine light. My buddy has the good cable and software to look at the car. We will check it this afternoon. I'll follow up with what we find.

Thank you for the responses. I will pull the belt cover and check the physical belt timing. I will also review all the vacuum hoses. I just trimmed out the chewed areas and may have missed something? Clutch switch works in conjunction with the starter, I need to research the book to understand...

This is my first time posting in this section. I want to thank you in advance for taking your time to read this. I purchased this 1998 Jetta TDI from the auction. It is always fun doing the forensic work of what the hell did I buy and why did this car go to auction. Judging from the trunk the...

Funny how the internet lumps us up. I was searching N47 swaps, looking for bellhousings and tuners. I found this thread. I'm a syncro van and bmw 2002 nut. I have two vans and one 1973 2002. I wasn't interested in the Diesel in the 02. But truly why not? I think the N47 would be perfect for the...
