the coolant still looks clean and free from any type of oil and it just doesn’t feel like oil. Has more of a gasket maker texture when it gets tacky

Thanks for the replies! It definitely has a thick sticky texture to it between the fingers and leaves a stain. Doesn’t feel or appear to be oil. Sounds like the hoses are the cause which I’d much rather tackle than what I originally was thinking before cutting it open (head gasket 😬) I’m sure...

I do have one of those winter coolant heaters installed. Not that it would have caused it. I’m not seeing any oil on the coolant hoses. But hard to tell behind the head.

Good afternoon. My daily driver an 05 mk4 TDI, I’ve noticed some coolant leaking around the old reservoir. I popped the cap off and noticed a ring of black stuff around the normal level range. I replaced the reservoir as the old one is brittle and had a small crack at the return hose.. So after...

I'm moving shortly so need to thin the collection. Selling my 2015 Golf TDI SEL with DSG transmission. It is certified so comes with an extra 2 year unlimited mile warranty. It has premium fender audio With Factory subwoofer. navigation, heated seats, dual climate control, two tone seats, paddle...

I've been busy the last few weeks so haven't been able to report back. Unfortunately the oil control valve didn't fix my long cranks. I'm still having them just like before. I'm at a loss on what it could be, Back to the drawing board I guess.

Unfortunately I need to sell our 2015 Golf tdi. Its a great looking and running car but we need something bigger. I purchased it from the dealer as a certified pre owned so came with an additional 2 year 24k mile warranty. The car was in the show room when I bought it so that tells you how clean...

Housing # 03L109096B Valve # 03L906455C ECS had to order the parts, I guess they didn't have them in stock so took a couple extra days to get. I think they took pictures of my parts before they shipped them to put on their website because now you can see what your buying which is nice and my...

Got my parts from ECS tuning and replaced them Friday. The housing came with the gasket so you don't have to worry about buying that separate.... So far that seems to have fixed the long cranks but I will report after a couple weeks to make sure it fixed the problem.

Here is the link to the video, he starts talking about installing the pin at 16 min https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXvHdmq0reA Going off of what he is doing looks like the pin is used to keep things from turning when installing the valve bolt.

The Cam locking pin is so I can replace that oil timing control valve. In the video he said its necessary to lock the cam shaft to take that valve out so I assume its just to hold the cam shaft while you break tq on the valve. The pin I'm looking for goes through the Valve cover and locks the...

Anyone know where I can get a cam shaft locking pin for the 2015 Golf tdi? I've been googling it and cant seem to find one for the 2015. Thanks!!

Yeah its not worth the rise in blood pressure I get every time I go to them just to save 300 bucks, plus they are going to do more damage than anything. After I got my car back the second time I found an oil spot on my floor mat, no idea where that came from guess they set something with oil in...

I took my car to the dealership for the second time about this problem last week. The first time I took it was before I started this thread so I was thinking more along the lines of Battery HPFP, fuel filter or timing. They said everything checked out and they didn't find anything wrong with it...

Bought my Golf SEL DSG with 24k miles for just under 20k. Was certified so came with an extra 2 year 24k mile warranty. It was in the show room so super clean and I love the extra features of the SEL. Nav, dual climate and dual colored seats looks pretty sweet..

I could see them on my end but I downsized the pics. Let me know if that fixed it. thanks!

Had my windows tinted 5% the other day and got a sun shade from the dealer. Wish I would have done 15 or 20% in the front but it looks good.
