Congrats on getting the car home!

if you are Grid tied and your meter spins both directions throughout the day/night, you already have a large battery. its called the Grid. the rest is just hooking up your car charger to your existing ac/dc power system at your house/property to charge your car.

it is a mount for a heat shield that goes on the turbo behind the plastic turbo inlet pipe. that piece mounts to the bottom of the turbo on the passenger side, under the nuts and spacers that hold the turbo on. the heat shield mounts into the slot near the stud holes in that piece and slides...

Keep going, Iv'e been following along since the beginning and find the process fascinating, you are adding a lot of detail here.

Need to figure out what causes a timing belt on an ALH to track to the side and wear itself down to 2/3 of normal width.. What do I look for and how do I check/fix? My dads Jetta just ate its valves & lifters while pulling a hill. We ordered a replacement head and install kit from idparts to...

That's news to me, last I heard the PDs were reduced to 80k miles/ 5 years

if your IP pin hole is at the ~6 o clock position you need to rotate the crank one more full revolution and THEN lock the crank and cam. the IP pin should go into the IP at the 12:30-1 o clock position and line up with the machined square boss directly behind the IP Pulley. the 12o clock...

Oilhammer, are you saying that the book says to remove the whole front clip (bumper and fenders) to change the alternator on a NB?

I tend to leave mine anywhere above the middle lines, as close to the top line as I can get, but if it starts off above the middle line, I leave it wherever it lays. this leaves the motor in an advanced location Before TDC for timing. I have never left one below the middle line. that leaves the...

there's at least two on this forum that have been documented, you might have to look in the conversion section to find them though.

with 4 Iq readings I am Think that he has a MK4 99.5 Jetta. IIRC the MK3s only had 3 readings showing the deviation from the 3rd injector which was the baseline. one thing you can get from your IQ readings at idle is that your injectors are still pretty well balanced. none of them are wildly...

I am pretty sure I got the full 2B replacement/update done back before I had 36k miles on the car. the car is knocking on the door of 80k miles and I will be completing its 2nd DSG service at that time. ill for sure be hitting 162k miles well before 2028..

the 17 is a bigger turbo, has a stronger main center shaft design than the vnt 15, bolts right up with a clip hose adapter and a modification to your factory vnt-15 exit hose and can handle more boost than a vnt-15. HOWEVER, if you like the fun noises that a VNT-15 can make with an open exhaust...

I also had mine replaced under the 3/36 BTB warranty on my 2015 GSW for the same reason, thing was as sharp as a razor blade. They didn't bat an eye.

I only have experience with modifying dogbones on ALH engines, I do know there are inserts that can be purchased to install in your factory dogbones for the newer cars, and you can also completely replace them for something stiffer, but from what I hear, changing the dogbone bushing on the newer...

I would think it would still run on 3 cylinders perhaps a bit rough. can you use a mirror on a stick to look at the bolts on your injection pump pulley. are there any signs that they have moved or slipped forward (clockwise)? they are in slotted holes and if you did swallow a slug of oil in...
