Failed pump OK so does anyone here know how long a typical lift pump should last? I ordered my pump in September of 2012 and got about 40,00km's and 16 months out of it before it left me stranded. just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with these replacements pumps. I'm not here to...

I have a 05' BEW and I drove an ALH prior to purchase. Mine just hit 373,000 Km's and it is still on the original Turbo and Cam. It has never let me down. The parts prices are retarded cheap compared to the Ford Escape I owned. I've had issues with the boost pipes sealing and sporadic cruise...

Does that mean that the 6 speed out of the 1.8T would bolt up?

Cruise issue resolved I fixed my cruise issue by replacing all boost pipe seals/o'rings. its a cheap maintenance thing so you can't go wrong IMO.

Ah see that I didn't know. I figured it was like every other diesel I've driven. Thanks for that.

PM sent.

Well Fluidseal was a bust. Went to Auburn VW. Although once I got them here local would have been cheaper. Thanks again for the help guys.

I do believe I have the steel ones. I've gone to VW and provided the VIN and they say no recalls and no TSB's. however if I could get a copy of it maybe that would give me some leverage.

Little bit of an update to my cruise issues. I ordered a set of boost pipe seals from Auburn. I finally got the opportunity to replace them while I was rebuilding my front end. So far I can report positive results. I have travelled the same hills that used to give me troubles and there is no...

Get the optimo 4s they're great in the snow. I have a set on a Focus and its good in the snow.

I know that ALH EGR values can be altered via VCDS to prevent fouling but is it possible to do that on a BEW? I did try searching before posting.

It almost sounds like the car fixed itself. I just read the whole thread and from what I can tell you've been thorough in your troubleshooting but it really hasn't solved anything. And when you left it alone it worked the bugs out on its own. Maybe by changing the Filter and T as OH...

Yes Please to the video I for one would like to have a video on this.. anyone else?

The Service from Auburn is good but I got Raped on the shipping. I ordered a set of boost pipe o'rings from them for a heck of a deal but paid $26 in shipping plus $20 duty for $30 o'rings. They shipped them via UPS in a bubble envelope stuffed in a packing box. Hence why shipping was retarded...

I have a 05 bew Jetta. It's now getting to -5C outside and the light doesn't stay on longer than 4 seconds, same as all summer. I did all the diagnostics to see if there was an issue with the glowplug harness,relay,fuse and glowplugs. All checks out. I have no CEL. AFAIK the maximum time length...

Go to the #1 diesel shop and tell them what the #2 shop did and ask them to figure it out for you.

This is happening with engine under load? Or does it also occur with vehicle moving/coasting? It sounds to me like the alternator pulley is seized. Happened on my 05 PD.

Cruise issue. My EGR pipe is fine. quite solid. After reading a couple other threads about this same issue (links below) and listening to the responses on this one. I will be changing out my IC piping o'rings for sure. Next I will need to have my car scoped and while I'm there I will get them...

Ok so I received the new lift pump really fast. 3 days I think. Install took 30 minutes.. All I can tell you is no change to the cruise issue, which we all figured there wouldn't be, but it needed to be changed any way. as for the flash. My dealer is retarded and I wouldn't trust them with it. I...

New Pump Received the new pump assembly within 3 days. Dropped it in within 30 minutes of getting it. I'm impressed with the speed of delivery and the quality of the part. Thank you for the excellent service. I recommend getting this pump or (pump assembly in my case) to all that need it...
