Have a link handy?

Couple thoughts come to mind. I'd call around to local HD diesel shops, and see if they can get the rebuild kit for you. A lot of them do high volume and tend to have either wide access, good prices, or both. Another thing is depending on your time frame, might not be a bad idea to get a used...

Didn't know about the plastic coolant valve, do you have a PN? I'm in the "if it ain't broke" camp, so I probably wouldn't have changed it unless it appeared brittle or was weeping. When I did the delete it was a 4 hour job to do the EGR portion, start to finish. The exhaust portion and tune...

How much pitting? Have any photos? Is this normal wear and tear or something signalling imminent doom and catastrophic failure? What's the spec for wear tolerance? Genuinely curious, as I have the same pump, but don't have any plans to change it anytime soon (absent any external indicators...

In addition to what @Wilkins said I'd also note it's prudent to check all your suspension components and rubber bushings. Tie rod ends, control arm bushings, sway bar end links, weeping struts, mounts, etc. If any are worn, you can often find other OEM parts that would be an upgrade (TTS, S3...

It's a long thread. There's a cluster of a handful of pages will all the info you need to make your choice. That's how I narrowed down my options, anyways.

There's a whole thread on lifting a Sportwagen...

I put in B4s on Tiguan springs. Love the ride, not too firm by any means.

"A survey of CP4 HPFP failures showed most failing, that failed at all, around 130K ish miles, some as soon as soon as 90K (and likely others still working fine up around 200K." What survey is this? Have a link?

That would be a pretty sweet motor in a B4 90 quattro as a commuter.

Have you looked into any of your wiring? Might be worth checking some harness connectors and fuses/relays. Also, it's very possible I misread your post, but if you were opening the fuel filter canister after priming it (and not re-priming) you were going backwards. The act of opening it can...

A few things come to mind. Are you "upgrading" to something like you'd find on a Cayenne TT, Bentayga, or Urus? Or more specifically improving on the existing spec with higher quality parts? There are many quality brands available: Powerstop, Zimmerman, Brembo, ATE, etc. Just get what you...

There's a whole thread on Club Touareg about timing chain replacement, full of great pictures and commentary.

What's the going rate for these, these days?

You'll want to use VCDS to read logs of your fuel pressure and so on. He knows all the measuring blocks you'll need to log to get the data. @TurboABA probably does too, come to think of it...

Ask SavageSoot on Club Touareg, he seems to have all the measuring blocks memorized lol

Do you have VCDS to take logs?

Darkside and Whitbread sell the CP3 pumps and kits. And they're not allegedly more reliable, they are. It's a better design across the board. I still find it peculiar that you'd remove a perfectly fine CP4. They don't have a best before date or anything. Do you have logs or MILs that lead...
