So a little bit of an update. I didnt have so much free time to work on my Golf so i just lived with the limp mode and didnt use 2nd gear on hills. 2 days ago a friend was about to scrap a 90s Polo and i asked him if i could part it out. It had an N75 for the EGR so i swapped it with mine and...

Here in Europe its not much better. For my Golf Mk3 Estates i cant find any parts behind the front doors (as its all different then on the hatchbacks). Someone rear ended my dad when he was driving one of them and the rear hatch is dented and bumper cracked. Insurance totaled the car and we...

I doubt its the vanes since i gave them a good cleaning and i can move the actuator with my fingers stop to stop. Ill see if i have a used N75 and swap it to see if it will be the same, worse or better.

Hello everyone! So if you dont like to read skip to the next part. I purchased my Golf mk3 1.9TDI AFN a few months ago for cheap. I did some body work and got it looking like a car again. Also did a lot of engine work: Oil, filters, belts, rollers, tensioners, fuel hoses, vacuum hoses (also the...

Mine did it even in N if you would slowly add throttle you would feel it shuttering from 1500-2000ish RPM. Was most noticable in 3rd gear and 5th gear had a slow down shutter on the highway past 150km/h

I know its an old thread but my issue was in the Injection pump. If you take the top cover off you could see alot of metal shavings that came from god knows where on the magnet under the circuit board. Cleaned it out and the car runs as new! I think there is a video on youtube.

Thanks for the reply! I have tried about 4 different types of pliers and nothing would grip the top of the welded connection. Will ask around my area if anyone actually opens up the quantity adjuster and not just the lower part of the pump.

Hey folks! Today I tried to remove the quantity adjuster off my Golf Mk3 estate 1.9TDI AHU to clean it because of juddering and rough idle. I had a seal kit and started of by removing the top cover and the little plastic piece held down by 2 7mm nuts. I then noticed that the pins/wires aren't...

ANOTHER UPDATE: I installed the coolant temp sensor and it now start like it should when warm! I had to take off the turbo to clean it since limp mode came back though. The work was worth it since it now runs and drives like a dream! Just have to do some body work for it to pass inspection.

Took the car to my dads friend who has a mechanic shop. 1 hour and a few beers later we got the 3 turbo to manifold nuts off by heating them up real good and using some high quality spanners (top one was very very tricky because of very little space). At home i took the turbo completely off the...

Hello everyone! So this weekend i wanted to take off my turbo on my 1997 Golf Mk3 Variant 1.9TDI AFN to give it a proper cleaning because limp mode came back and to replace the CHRA since i have it out. My right side driveshaft also has a blown boot and it flung grease everywhere so i took it...

UPDATE: A few days ago i took off my downpipe since i had to fix an exhaust leak at the CAT. While i was there i replaced some gaskets and also sprayed MrMuscle oven cleaner into the hot side of the turbo since it was easier then feeding a tube through the EGR hole. Let it sit for about 2 hours...

Of course. I set it just bellow the green line (number 60 as VCDS says)

Hi! The car is completely stock including the tune. I will order a new yellow CTS and hope it solves the issue. As for the timing i did the belt with home-made tools that i used on 2 TDIs already... anyway the crank at TDC on flywheel mark, cam locked under valve cover, first 2 lobes pointing...

Hey folks! So im getting my Golf Mk3 Estate back in shape after being neglected by the previous owner. The issue im having right now is regarding the engine. Overall i did ALL services on it (all fluids, filters, belts, thermostat, hoses and a few other things). After replacing the timing belt i...

I went to a local VW dealer and they said that they only stocked them for 15 years after the car was new... I know about the DieselGeek ones but i am not willing to pay 100€ for one kit (i need 2 mind you since i have 2 golfs) I had good luck with chinese sellers, buy alot on aliexp from carbs...

Hello everyone, i need some help with some shifter bushings for my 1994 Golf Mk3 Variant 1.9TDI with a 02A trans. I cant find any auto parts stores around here that can get new bushings but i found an aliexpress listing that sells a full kit for a 02A box for about 25€. Could anyone tell me if...

I have 2 of these variants. A 94' AHU in red and a 97' AFN in blue that i bought a month ago. The red one is my dads that he bought since new. Had a 95' GTI but brother crashed it:( If you see we love Mk3s... I had to fix the tailgate wiring on mine 2 times. The first time i just used one of the...
