    TDI Cam Timing Adjustment (for rough idle) How-to (with pics)

    Special tool best for cam adjustment You better use a cam timing holding tool, which will allow you to make tiny adjustments. Don´t know how to attach picture here. Never worked for me. Oldbeaver

    TDI Cam Timing Adjustment (for rough idle) How-to (with pics)

    Injection quantity Every car torsion value for best fuel efficency is different. I have the same european engine you have. In my case the best value I got is 0,4 at 0.0 torsion value. The value you had is a record. The value you have is very good. You may even get the same physical position...

    Correction to Cam Timing position CORRECTION: I have said that my optimum position (graphic) was -0.5. Reviewing my paper I checked it was +0.5 instead. I edited, corrected and completed my previous posting, you may check. However, as others said before, each car is a particular...

    TDI Cam Timing Adjustment: optimum I have exactly the same engine as you do. After experimenting with the position for a time, decided to leave it at 0.0, based on another paramenter you should measure as well: fuel consumption on idle. Mine is 0.4 lt/h at present. I made several...

    "Adapting torsion value" in Bora Flavis, Well, well, it sounds like yr torsion value automatically adapts. It is possible, as yr engine is different of mine. There are some gentlemen in Skoda factory that may know about this issue. I will send you a private message with contacts. They...

    Torsion value in TDI PD Flavis, do you mean that yr torsion value at idle is 0.6 and, that after a while, while in idle, it jumps to 1.2, no reason? Please, confirm. Oldbeaver

    TDI Oil Filter "O" rings.

    Engine oil filter O-rings sizes Hello, Do you mean that the big O-ring for the engine oil cap is 76 mm size, while the small one in the axis is 14 mm size? By the way, are these internal or external sizes? What are the O-ring thickness? Please confirm or clarify. You know, the engine oil...

    TDI Cam Timing Adjustment (for rough idle) How-to (with pics)

    Different engines, codes, Hub ...? Henrick, What are you trying to say? What is this code 038 109 239 L for BXE engine, for example? I understand that different design engines may have different adjustment of cam timing. This makes sense to me. But I am not sure what do you mean with "hub"...

    2010 Jetta Cup Edition Suspension Mod Help

    Action to soften Jetta suspension. I have a Skoda Octavia II, which is very similar to the Jetta. My opinion about the car is very positive: good performance, very good mpg (45, almost impossible to beat), reliability, an excelent car. I am 65 at present, and am after the same mod than you...

    Torsion value vs fuel yield. Last findings. Hello, I use to go to a gym from home, some days, early in the morning. Everytime I do this, I try to beat the record of mean fuel yield from home to the sport club. By best performance before cam fine timing via modifying torsion value was 21 km/lt...

    TDI Cam Timing Adjustment (for rough idle) How-to (with pics)

    Torsion Value vs RPM The data is too long. I can send it to you if you tell me how. In summary: In the log data I produced and saved, rpm went from 819 1/seg (iddle) up to 3192 1/seg, at about 150 km/h. Torsion value kept flat on 0.0. It was a test trip, however, I have to stop many times...

    Torsion value in range, & injection deviation tiny. Let see if that is possible: First, let us define what would be an out of range value? I have read some people get over abs(4) for torsion value. I just moved it to the opposite direction I did before, and I was at +0.5 . I made my marks when...

    3 Torsion values experimented in a BXE engine Hello to all, Well, I have been following this subject for a while, and decided to experiment with it. I bought a torque key, a special tools for turning camshafts, and read a lot. Rented VCDS software and inteface also, of course. Here are my...

    TDI Cam Timing Adjustment (for rough idle) How-to (with pics)

    I had a -1,5 torsion value and changed to +0,5 . The most noticeable effect was that fuel consumption changed from 0,6 lt/h to 0.8 lt/hr at idle. Rest of the behavior is difficult to say, but fuel mileage seems to diminish, in the same course of 1 km flat. I am going to move it back to the...
