2009 Jetta with CBEA.

Any chance somebody has a KQC DSG kicking around they want to sell?

Yes, pd smart actuators are replaceable. Finicky to get exactly right. You can also program them out and just replace with a dumb actuator. By the time these actuators need to be replaced, the control ring inside the turbo is so worn out, it will still over/under boost with the new actuator...

I have an 80k mile example in the shop right now. :cool:

The Q5 system works with modification. Contact Rawtek - they were working on prototype but it also requires modification (still under development). (y)

anyone have a used tandem pump kicking around?

I've had several excellent experiences with Clusters: By Litke LLC

lol VW missed that memo.

I have a .622 gearset sitting on my shelf you can have for cheap. I bough it to drop the RPMs on Eurovan TDI swap only to find out it already had a 0.622:1 5th gear in it.

not a bad deal. That window being down means bad things for the interior I'm sure.

Losha in Sioux Falls. Ratified motorsports used to be in Mankato - would have easily recommended them but they're in Chaska now.

Hey Brian - I've seen a random misfire / vibration at those rpms due to failing glow plugs (in-cylinder pressure transducers). Log MB141 to see if you have a glow plug dropping signal. I don't think camshafts or timing belt to be the cause of your issue.

Move it back to the original position, maybe even passed it. It should start even when it's over advanced. IME, the only time it won't start is when retarded.

which way did you turn the 22mm nut? Clockwise or counterclockwise?

Thanks! I'm a bit of a packrat so I still have the original file. Any other corrections while I'm at it?

What he ^ said, x2 ;) The long story short - there is no reasonable way to inspect for camshaft lobe slippage (they're pressed onto the camshaft tube) so you more or less need to replace them blindly, at significant expense. Combine that with the rest of the cost of the head rebuild, head R&R...

I just had a customer hit this in your doppleganger (silver ALH wagon, 5spd). He commutes from Grantsburg into the cities everyday. Matt Litke can help modify the cluster. ClustersByLitke@gmail.com

No one should be surprised about a hefty bill on this one. What the heck is the book time on something like this? I've drained an alarming amount of oily condensate out of the driver's side intercooler in my A8 - slightly different configuration on that turbo outlet pipe running along the...

Very close! You need to insert a lock bar (can be fabricated) into the non drive end of the camshaft to ensure it is at TDC. Then you need to knock the sprocket off the camshaft if you haven't already.
