    2009 2.0 p299 problems

    I was replacing the new valve on the compressor with RKX which is usually the issue. and when I added the freon after about an hour sitting it just started working again. I think this system can have trouble getting pressure to the high side (very slow) and when the high side has low pressure it...

I was just going to post all this then I got Covid. was down for 12 days. Catching up now. (put about 10k miles on it) BUT...

    line was tight. CEL said. p2002 and EGR.....Trying another regen while standing. and after that I adapted G450.....I don't think I did it that way the first time. I think you need to do the adaption after regen. also adapted low egr....after regen. No codes 60 miles. But checked readiness...

    Engine light came back on for EGR same percentages as last time. Then before I could get it up on the lift to fix it or check it it went back off. I don't think I was able to get the hard line for the differential pressure sensor tight on the egr cooler maybe that's the issue. Needed a crow's...

There were some large chunks of soot in that sucker I did clean it pretty well before reinstalling it. Probably able to do active regens now and...

    2011 golf thermostat replacement

    Here is a shortcut. I did mine without taking off the oil filter housing which saves time and having oil and coolant out at the same time......Less mess. Made a video hope this helps.

    2021 Volkswagen Golf GTD Shows TDI Performance on the Autobahn, Sounds Rough

    Totally agree.....also look when you use less fuel there are less emissions from getting it out of the ground. They should get emissions credits for that. GOV does not care about environment just TAX MONEY.....see through the disguise. The Environment is just a smoke screen so they can rob your...

    Yeah initially I was thinking about what you said about the auto scan all the other information that's why I was using the one from engine but like you said it's weird that it's totally different and formatted different and much harder to read so I get it

    Yeah I was thinking about that all the other crap about radios and whatever who cares. FYI I've been driving this thing cuz I haven't had a minute to check those other things and the engine light went out. Maybe it just seen a little driving after the Regen. I think I'm going to drive it a few...

    The strange thing is the DPF light never came on. Even with the code P2002...Weird. I think I will recheck the EGR filter to see if it is restricted. first then all the other EGR checks.
