    Timing belt tensioner failure

    Do as P2B suggested and pull the valve cover and check for spider web cracks on the lifters….who knows you might get lucky but from my experience your probably gonna be pulling the head and sending it out.

    Reset timing on EA189

    Find the locking place for the crank, and use the tool to lock it. Then the cam shouldn't be too far off. Then you take the belt off, and move the cam till the locking pin goes in.

    2002 Jetta TDI ECU swap

    If the current one is working I would not worry or remove it to do the immobilizer delete. As mentioned, get everything in top condition before considering a tune or mods. Research and learn first.

    2011 Jetta TDI with AC not working

    IIRC, the low cut off point is around 30psi. Are you referring to changing the refrigerant control valve on the compressor?

    Confirming an RCV failure in the AC?

    I was told if it is covered in a grey goo then the compressor needs replacement. but since the expansion valve was replaced and looked at with no contamination I would think its a good chance there wont be any.

    High mileage tdi

    A few of us were commenting today about how many ALHs are out there that are approaching 500K miles. The mechanicals are no problem. Just look carefully at cosmetics, especially rust on the front fenders, rocker panels, and around the trunk.

    Is my turbo dead?

    If your turbo is shot buy a different one used or quality new one. Possible that the you could replace the turbo core, but may not be worth the risk. If you buy a new turbo get a quality one not cheap. Its not worth a runaway.

    Are there any DTCs? Does the rail pressure sensor value build quickly as soon as you start cranking the engine?

    Best approach for CVCA engine removal?

    The axles dangle loose, you can remove the ball joint retaining plate and slide the strut/carrier/axle out away from the transmission if you want more clearance, but you can normally wiggle the gearbox out from between the axles without doing that.

    Injector pump leaking

    you can use either a 10 mm pump like you have or go with a 11 mm pump from an automatic…..it will also give you a boost in power with the manual injectors.
