Well I’ve decided gonna be getting the head pulled off in about 2 weeks, got a used head on the way. Hoping it’s just a bent valve or something and the bottom end is fine

That’s exactly what I’m doing right now just gonna drive it till something blows. It cruises actually very nicely just the lag is annoying but is only a issue for safety when the car is cold first thing in the morning. Also burns a lot more but basically the same as some gas cars and diesel is...

Not sure honestly. I’m looking at Honda accords around 2008 to 12. I don’t mind vw as well and other Tdi’s. I am kinda leaning towards gas now especially those Hondas being dead easy and simple to work on and pretty efficient

V dub performance in Etobicoke. That’s all he works on.

I can’t really get much out of the original shop and at this point I don’t even wanna bother. I’ve taking it has a learning experience. It’s most definitely engine damage as the vacuum, boost, electrical, fuel, and everything is perfect. I don’t want to put anymore money into this car so I...

At hot idle the iq is Cyl1 0.07 Cyl2. 0.75 Cyl3. 0.56 Cyl4. 0.20 I know these are in spec but do you think cylinder 2 is on the high side?

Update: Took the car to a tdi guru working mainly and these diesels. Vacuum system checks out and turbo seems to be matching requested well when graphing. He did pressurize the boost system and found a slight amount of air was escaping out the exhaust and suspects a bent valve. He recoded...

Is it possible for the torsion value to be good but the the crank timing to be out slightly? I know the shop did not put the car in service mode so the crank was not locked. I’m assuming they did the mark and pray method, I wonder if the timing is just very slightly off.

The check valve is good and new. The car went into limp mode twice on me on the highway going up a slight incline. It pretty much does it all the time only on the highway from what I noticed even when I’m not giving it much gas. Only two codes are p0299 underboost and now probably cause of the...

Well new intake flap and diy brake hose repair and still the same 5 second or so lag from a stop as well as slightly less power and the car also burns around 17l/100km right now. I’m gonna order a new hose incase my diy repair isn’t holding tight although I believe it is

Update: Alright well I ordered a new intake flap as this one kept setting a code and sounded as if it was getting stuck then popping open, I wanted to rule it out. I currently just installed it and while doing so I removed the vacuum line coming off the brake booster to throughly inspect it, I...

Yes it’s still intact. The shop has blocked it off and noticed no difference , they removed the plates and cleaned it. I know there is a code for the intact flap which has always been there since I got the car.

One thing I noticed is at idle the maf specified was 800 and actual was going between 480-490 and when revved at around 1k rpm specified was 760 and actual was 550, not sure if that’s normal or not?

Was that a bew or brm cam? I’m wondering if it’s a vacuum issue that maybe doesn’t present itself at idle?

Ok I ran through some stuff here. I checked system vacuum using the line coming off the firewall before the check valve. On start vacuum went from around 27 in hg and then rose and stayed at about 29.5 in hg. I did a n75 test and the actuator moves freely up and down, I also noted a change in...

Alright I logged group 011-001-003, I clicked turbo , log, renamed file and start. I then click stop and done but I can’t find my file anywhere or in my downloads and I Remeber having the same issue last time but forgot what I did to find it.

Did it start right after the cam job? I’m gonna run through the whole checklist and vacuum test again when I got time this week then I’m thinking of changing the vacuum hose to the brake booster. I am starting to suspect the wrong cam was installed as everything is checking out.

Update: I checked torsion value in group 4 and it’s -1.0kw. When I was driving today the car went into limp mode with no check engine light. I scanned it and it has a code po299 boost pressure control range not reached. It’s never thrown this code before. I’m hoping it’s something as simple as...

it has not thrown any overboost codes for me but i do recall the shop saying they got a overboost code when they got on it really hard. im gonna run some diesel purge through it this weekend and double check the boost pipes again. Torsion values are looking really good when checked hot. cyl 1...

it was at 0.5 before and still the same, i just drove the car for a good 30 mins and i would say once its fully warmed up its about 80 or 90 percent what a bhw should be but seems to be much slower past 100 and still does not get there in any hurry. the screen where the speedometer is shows im...
