Hey guys I have a 2000 passat wagon that had a tdi put in it. It now needs a cam and lifters but I cant find any numbers on motor to identify it. There is a tag on the timing belt cover but the writing is all gone. Any help appreciated

OK so I pulled a vacuum line from the spherical tank and even though the car had been sitting for about 6 hours heard a hiss of air getting sucked in so guess that rules out the lines. Read somewhere I believe that the p1619 code could be a bad MAF so I think I have one of those laying around so...

It has a P0380 and 1619 code

OK so Im reading through a thread by Canadian Grizzly about how to troubleshoot limp mode. Will start by replacing vacuum lines as they are ragged looking. Weird thing is my symptoms tend to appear under no throttle not under heavy throttle. Will report back

It has a P0380 and 1619 code, both from glow plug circuit right??

OK so my tdi has developed an issue where it will randomly go into limp mode. If I switch the key off and then on it runs fine. I have switched out the ecm and it still does it with new one (both have imobi delete) I always have a CEL due to bad glow plug circuit and removed egr . Any...

Aerodynamics IMO are more important than most other mods. I have had several 900 mile tanks and am setting my sights on a 1000. My aero mods started with moon hubcaps and removing the passenger mirror. I then taped up my upper grill. I recently did a coroplast full belly tray and rear wheel...

Thanks Bill, that is the info I was looking for. I knew we had a return line from the filter but didn't realize it helped remove air from the fuel. I am always searching for any additional boosts in efficiency, however small.

but do you feel it did as advertised and increased efficiency?? And would this help our TDIs??

Just curious, I just installed an "Airdog" fuel system in my dodge pickup and after just 2 days of driving I can say I believe I feel an improvement in the usable torque , not sure yet about the MPG but would assume some improvement. The theory is they remove all the air from your diesel so...

http://www.sinhatech.com/auto.asp Seems interesting if far fetched. Any views on this??

I have been reading about dual fuel systems and was wondering if anybody has been running LPG in the intake to reduce diesel usage or increase power?? Also how do you search this site??

So this is to clean your injectors??

I have a 2000 glx passatt converted to a TDI. The rear needs toe adjusting, can it be done or do you have to buy a new beam??

Interior is tan leather and is OK , little grubby from 2 young kids but no rips. This is far from a pristine car but has been very reliable and gets easily in the 40s even when the wife is driving it. How do I post pictures here?? As stated reason we are selling is wife got tired of the...

Wagon is an original TDI, I have put a straight pipe on it, evans coolant and 200 degree stat, harmonic balancer, power steering pump, alternator , heater coreI was told when I bought it 50K ago it had just had an injector pump rebuild and a timing belt but have no proof of that. I would do the...

97 passat wagon, 280K miles runs great gets in the 40s. good rubber new heater core. Only real issue is the front doors are quirky, i.e. the windows keep coming off the track . Has rust in one spot around the rear passenger wheel well. I will try to figure out how to get pictures up. Whats...

However it is the car giving the alarm not the SG. I didn't see anywhere on the SG that measures oil pressure. I will get a mechanical reading on the pressure just seems strange that it only happens when the SG is connected. Would suck to blow the motor due to a bad pump though.

Why would the SG effect a sensor?? How can you rectify the coding problem??

So I have a 2000 passat glx v6 which had a tdi out of a 98 jetta put in it. Everything works nice and car drives good. I installed a Scab gage and after 10 minutes I got an alarm informing me to STOP as car had no oil pressure. Checked oil level which was good. Anyways bottom line is without...
