$100 for a clear conscience? Then there's the top hats, which presumably could fail catastrophically if not made of the correct metals 🤔

For 10% of the price, are Chinesium worth the risk of doing the job twice? The seals for four injector are AU$130 versus AU$40 for all four PLUS bolts. Plus I'm selling the car... 🤔

How's this pressure from the pump? Car is not starting, so this seems ok or not?

Fixed! The Anti-shudder valve wasn't closing on shut-off. So FREAKING happy to get away with a 30min repair. Had one on hand to use. Beautiful to see the mechanism working in one and not the other. So hard with TDIs to diagnose rattles sometimes... Yes I did the replacement myself. Engine out...

This is my (new) Sachs DMF on shut down. Is the rattle a bad sign? It seems to have become consistently like this, but initially was only occasionally. Mk5 TDI DSG https://youtube.com/shorts/SdZBLFuFyiM?si=24b3iwETtYTSJ7lX

There's an opinion by Franko6 that no special tool is needed to install the RMS. Just a steady hand and taking your time. But I'm glad to have read the advice above. My BKD RMS (170kkm) is not leaking and even though I have a new one ready just in case, I'm going to leave it. As a side note, I...

The mechanic has got in a locksmith (no good) and has now taken out the injectors to be inspected by a speciality place. He reckons they're getting signal. I wonder if it's not an earth problem? Or high DSG fluid preventing the engine starting? I don't ****ing know.

@Franko6 don't suppose you would take pity on me? Free accommodation whenever you're in Adelaide, Australia 😉

I can probably do that by taking the round plug off the side of the head and inserting a probe in one of the 4 injector wires. Cool, thanks 🙂 I'll try that next weekend 🤞 and report back.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll do some research on how to do that on these engines that spray oil at you 🤔 Assuming they're not, it begs the question, why? And why am I getting injector quantity readings in spec? Maybe they're injecting at the wrong time? I'll need to do lots of research on...

After figuring out how to read it, the crank and cam sensors seem to be working. The cam was half the crank rpm, as it's meant to be. Didn't get a screenshot because OBDEleven takes too long to select the graphs (while ignition is on) and the car won't start.

I grabbed this data just now because I won't be able to touch the car for a week. Hope someone can get something from it? (MAF disconnected) https://photos.app.goo.gl/2SztC3bkQQ5AaT857 https://photos.app.goo.gl/ewXiPSYAdHSDQo7w9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/e1WvPa47PfAxa4U56

Timing is fine, double checked the cam and crank alignment. Noticed the inlet valve advance seemed to be jumping around a fair bit. At one point got up to 22 degrees 😳 before it came back to 0.00 (supposed to be between -6 and +6).

How did you go?

Car fired with some starting spray into the intake. But it sounded weird, like pistons were clashing, but that might be spray's ignition characteristics. EDIT: Yes ether is more energetic than diesel (and can damage the engine) 😳 the can says it's safe, but maybe only on agricultural diesels...

Lift pump is definitely working, and the injectors seem to be receiving fuel. Although no smell of diesel in exhaust (which seems weird). But I guess unburnt diesel isn't that strong smelling. This is the data. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JEjPLNZvTb33rZcG8...

How'd you go in the end?

A second roadside assistance guy couldn't help. We tried putting diesel in the air inlet pipe just in case it temporarily fired. According to injector volume data it has fuel being injected (I don't think Mk5's measure individual fuel flow, which the other guy got wrong). But there's no diesel...
