If the Thermostatic Tee was leaking, wouldn't that relieve the vacuum created when I draw fuel from the tank? By inspection of the fuel filler opening, the breather valve has a lever that's moved when you replace the fuel cap. I'm going to repeat the priming operation tomorrow with the...

Problem priming Injection Pump. Not trying to hijack the thread but I haven't figured on how to start a new thread and I have a related problem. Started with contaminated fuel. Replaced pickup. Eventually replaced engine. New engine will run using a fuel can. When placing a vacuum on the...

I'll check the two I have for the part no. Could you PM me a photo of the "remains" it may help!

Do you have the early or late version? I picked up two "extras" from a pick 'n pull when I was grabbing an engine. Maybe PM me?

Replacement engine has a different electronic connector for injector #3 than the original engine - which was a D shape. The replacement is a square connector. Thinking of swapping the #3 injector, but this engine hasn't run well since I got a load of bad fuel. Can you comment on the injector...

I need to go look at what you describe. In the meantime, what about a catch can with a drain to limit the amount introduced to the intake tract?

I have an analog 500HP Go Power Dyno. It's not set up yet, but what kind of data logging would you need?

Heat exchangers work on pressure differential. The equivalent of a velocity stack is the opposite approach. You want a diffuser to recover pressure. That said, I have a spare intercooler for my MK4-ALH in the garage and I suspect it was oversized to compensate for the "less than optimum"...

EGR Cooler? I'll go back and look but I remember the connection from exhaust manifold to intake tract to be an (approx) 3/4" CRS flexible tube. Do some ALH's have a different setup?

I found a 2003 Jetta Sedan with Leather Seats. Sure the front seats will work, but will the rear leather seats work - if I transfer the "wagon' rear seat backing to the sedan cushions?

Grace and politeness are inversely proportional to frustration and stress !!! :):devilish::) Problem is, with some people the bad stuff is sui generis

Best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time!

What's your interval? With oil changes, or? Does this pooled oil contribute to coking the intake? And, is this pooled diesel or oil from the Turbo or valve stems?

I've been thinking of the causation. As I understand, the EGR is the base cause. Well, what about cooling the temp of the recycled exhaust gasses prior to reintroduction into the intake system. The principle behind egr is to reduce combustion temps by reducing oxygen. If the exhaust...
