Howdy, i also moved temporarily from Ontario. I am in the Saint Antoine area. My mk4 brought me here. I wonder if anyone knows any good wrecker yards around Moncton that you can pick/pull/pluck/carry :)

I would hook up vcds and take the car for a spin, log group 3 (maf) and group 11 (turbo boost). I would also pop off the intercooler rubber hose by the egr and look for anything that may be blocking the airflow.

Leaky exhaust also enhances turbo whistle, such as a gasket leak between the dp and the turbo.

A few things you can do/check... Scan with VCDS, do some turbo/maf logs to see how your car is behaving. Inspect all the vac/air lines for leaks. I had a similar issue like yours with an mk4 i picked up this past summer. Only started acting up in the cold weather. I scanned the car and no...

Good to hear you are back on the road. I picked up a car recently and that pipe was broken. I marked it and got it welded. Those pipes are way to pricey for what they are.

Wow, No tuners in Ontario available to do an immobilizer delete. It's just a bypass.....I'm actually going to start looking around too.

Holy smackers, nice find and fix.

I saw the diy that chitty did. I rotated while i was under there with the led light. I didn't see any gap. I changed the DMF flywheel to a solid Valeo kit. I'm thinking that might be why???. I will have another look maybe tonight or in the morning. Thanks steve6 : I didn't want to wedge...

TORQUE ALH CRANK BOLT with hockey pucks-works great Update for anyone that might encounter this type of job and don't have the tools or don't work on tdi's too frequently to invest on those expensive metal pieces to counterhold that high torque crank bolt. I got a tip online about using hockey...

After all that work Tony, you should take a break in Hawaii.

I'm going to bump this thread, in the hopes that someone close to Scarborough might be able to lend me the crank locking tool to torque the bolt. I've tried to fabricate some holding tools, but they all failed. I don't have the proper equipment to do such a job. First stage torque was easy...

Came to the ballgame late, but I agree. The internal spring on a brand new tensioner with only 40k snapped on me a while ago. I don't see your tensioner being soaked in oil either, maybe some mist here and there. I hope I never have to experience a pos part like that again. It all comes down to...

Are you sure. I think that was the same scenery they used for Armstrong in 1969.....? Awesome thread!

Usually that is a sign that the tbelt job was not done properly. Based on what i've seen before when it's not plotting on the graph and smoking on starts. The timing is retarded. I normally get the tools and check the mechanical timing to see what is off. The cam, crank, or pump. Then i will...

Ah, did a search and found that they are roughly 17 to 17.5 lbs. In case someone else in the future is looking.

The views are breath taking, nice camera work. Thanks for the hitch pics.

Thanks Derek, that helps a lot. I like the scamp and your setup.

Hey guys how heavy are the Avus rims?. I will be working on a project soon, and would like to get some fairly inexpensive light rims.

Thanks for the info, will be keeping my eye out for that.

Awesome thread with excellent quality pics. I did have a few questions when you are not too busy enjoying life. How much does your scamp weigh roughly? What class of tow hitch do you have on the golf? Do you get a lot of sway with crosswinds and such while driving on bridges/mountains/hwy...
