googd morning, do you have a moment to chat
-
Just recently joined the forum after lurking for about a month, I am new to Diesel ownership and was wondering if you wouldn't mind me pinging you every once in a while when panic mode sets in with questions about issues I start to experience?
for example, engine sounds fine but the DPF light just popped up yesterday. Do I need to rush this in to a shop?Brian, you currently have my car in your shop for a power loss issue. John mentioned to me that you thought it might be the MAP sensor. Also you have said in the past that these rarely fail, it could be a wiring harness issue. That got me thinking, this car sits outside a lot, and I have had issues with squirrels chewing through the wiring. You might want to consider that possibility before you dig too deep.1} P2453- PARTICULATE FILTER PRESSURE SENSOR\"A\" CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMACE
2} P1946- RADIATOR FAN CONTROL MODULE 1 FAULTY/OPEN CIRCUIT IN VOLTAGE SUPPLY
3} P229F- NOX SENSOR CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE BANK 1 SENSOR 2
4} P0322- ING. /DISTRIBUTOR ENG. SPEED INP. CIRC. NO SIGNAL
Also, still running original timing belt/chain.
Do you have any thoughts about where should I start?I have a stock 2015 Jetta TDI SEL with 175,000 miles. I bought it new. I had the stealership do the dieselgate mod years ago. This car has been a total nightmare since I bought it. My current issue was an intermittent random engine hesitation for a about a week with no codes. Now I have a flashing glow plug light and CEL then limp mode. Scanner says:Brian, my JSW that you put some parts in for me about a month ago has been running great! Like a new car! My question is, I am thinking of getting the Whitbread CP4 metering valve bypass kit. Do you think it is a worthwhile preventative measure for the CJAA? Thanks, HalSir oil hammer
I have a 2013 tdi 6spd sportwagon PS Red light on no assist Restart back on happened a few times til restart wouldn't fix ps problem. Red wheel all associated esp and Trac control lights on zero assist.
Ordered a used PS rack from salvage after reseting plugs checking power noting can bus resistance was at least right (don't have o scope) salvage Sent me a rack for a 2016 new beetle looked same.
Oilhammer,
Recently aquired 2014 JSW w/150k and sooty tailpipe with P2002, P0401, P240F and now P0544.
Somehow it just passed a NYS inspection (i wonder how)
Emissions 'modification' performed by dealer 2018.
I plan to delete.
How long can/should I drive it under this condidtion without damaging anything not covered by the delete?
Is there anything I should do in the meantime?
ThxHello Oilhammer, I've recently encountered the P0401, P240F, and P048C error codes, and I suspect that either EGR clogging or DPF failure might be the underlying issue. Could you please provide a recommendation for an affordable TDI expert in the vicinity of NYC? Thank you so much!
You responded to my post of 5/2/23 asking what am I trying to do. I did more work on my NO START ALH and have a detailed post on 5/21/23. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take a look and give me any of your insight. Thank you.
Hey Brian, I really appreciate all your input in the forums, both past and present and a preemptive thank for all the future work. I love reading your comments and especially your threads. Wish we lived closer to you so I could be a client lol. Hope all is well with you!!whats the best aftermarket oilfilter for the 3.0Hi Brian,
We talked once before about having you work on several of my TDI's. The biggest logistic problem is I'm in Florida.
I was hoping to chat with you about shipping one of my B5.5 up to you for some engine work, plus a few other items
we can talk about. I'll give you a call this week to see what might work best in terms of timing.

cell: 239-777-1300Hi Brian, I go by skibumjh on the forum.
Looking to confirm what I've understood re: replacing my dual mass flywheel.
I have a 2012 Jetta sportwagen with the DSG trans. I understand that the LuK DMF 126 is the one I need. Carid say I need the 181, but they agreed the 126 will work in my car so long as it's a 6 speed.
Correct?
Thanks,
ScottBrian,
Going to be in St. Louis on Wednesday/Thursday this week to visit my daughter. Driving my 2000 Audi TT -> TDI. I'll try to stop by Thursday morning and say "hello".

Hello Oilhammer! A couple of years ago you kindly helped me connect with a TDI specialist for my (then) recently purchased '96 TDI Passat Wagon--Matt Phaelan. He moved to Newport, OR, and went completely MIA about a year ago. Are you aware of any other TDI specialists or shops in Southern California?
Thanks in advance.Hi Mr. oilhammer What is this permanent heater core fix you speakith about? I hane a 2014 TDI SE and I am on number 3 and a flush again at dealer. They would not replace it this time because the got the floor vents to 100 degrees after a flush. So I know I will be back at some point. They have put new antifreeze in and flushed every time. The car just turned 60k Please tell me the cure!!!Hi Oilhammer, I have an acquaintance who ran his 09 TDI out of fuel on the road. Now he has a flashing glow plug light and a no start condition. They called me. I ran the VCDS routine to run them simultaneously 4x. Still no start. Fuze F14 is good. They are believing that the HPFP is cratered. Would that be your assessment?
Hi Oilhammer,
I am trying to figure out if I can 4 wheels down tow a manual transmission VW behind my motorhome. Is there en splash lubricant for the bearings?
thanksHi Oilhammer, 2005 Passat TDI clogged Catalytic Converter - no one makes a replacement Cat, No Dealer - no aftermarket ones.
Might have to gut both chambers but will I set off the Sensors that are in each chamber and get a constant Check Engine Light? Any tips on replacing a cat convert unit that does not exist anymore and not triggering those sensors? Best , Blair -
