Yes that is why ultimately I'm not too concerned other than in the mean time I would like to drive the car without poor performance and a CEL caused by the stock MAF in combination with the PD 150 TIP. Tomorrow I will reinstall the PD TIP but with the VR6 air box and MAF to see how the car...

Hey ladies and gentlemen! I hpe you all had a fine Thanksgiving. Got a question about installing a PD 150 TIP on my 00 ALH. I previously installed it using the PD 150 flex pipe to my stock airbox with the help of a silicon bushing at the MAF. It ran fine for a few hundred miles then CEL...

What is the brass cap for in the lower right portion of your valve cover ? 🤔

Yes I got that sorted with a bit of ingenuity 👍...also mine bolted up to the ALH manifold with both tabs perfectly. I'm assuming when I install the PD 150 manifold and accordion pipe when I source the PD airbox and MAF ( soon just looking for a good price on ebay) I shouldn't have any issues...

Awesome , thanks I will do that, I will search ebay for the additional box and just order a new pd 150 MAF . It seems to run fine and i actually see an improvement in fuel economy but it smokes a bit , nothing crazy but annoying. I wanted to get everything installed before I tune the car ...

Old thread but I just installed a pd 150 TIP and rigged up a accordion hose to transition between the TIP and my ALH MAF. I just ordered a pd 150 accordion hose and I'm thinking I should get the pd 150 MAF as well . Is this part the same for other VW engines like r32 or VR ? Or should I search...

Thank you. I will be putting old injectors back in tonight and changing the oil. Hopefully it will survive 😭

Called a local diesel shop this morning. They referred me to a shop 3 hours away. I will call them later and continue for a closer location.

Thank you, Yes I did find that info after getting the readings. The problem is that I kept recovering the overflow of oil and it would return. So I believe fuel is being introduced in a way that is an actual problem I need to solve. I had no choice but to drive the car to work today. I will...

Great 😫

Your probably right and that's the last thing I wanted to do . Supposedly there is a "guarantee" on these injectors but I'm sure in my case there won't be .

It seems from reading other posts today that most of the more reputable shops that are popular among enthusiasts won't mess with injectors from other companies. I understand why. I'm located in maryland. Is there a list I can search for on the forum of someone that could help ? If not I guess...

I did replace the covered rubber oem fuel return line between the injectors with clear red fuel line from home depot. The old line seemed wet when I tried to reinstall and I had the other on hand. They are sealed well on the injector barbs and not kinked. I noticed that fuel moves very slow...

I ordered new ( reconditioned bodies) with new .216 nozzles installed from a company in Poland. I would hope they were tested. From the numbers I recorded with VCDS they seem to be within acceptable specs. I listed the numbers in a post above

Ok I have a brand new spare tee I keep in my kit. The current tee has been in service about 25k miles and is less than 2 years old but they do go bad. I will investigate tomorrow morning before work. Thanks for the tip 👍

It's just concerning that the level rises after driving. Checking shortly after driving , cold etc. I have never had a vehicle behave this way. I've been driving since the early 90's and owned over 20 cars . I swear it seems like some fluid is being introduced to the oil and my only guess at...

Yes I have Yes I have checked the oil under all conditions . I understand somewhat the dynamics of oil in an engine. The issue is I have removed at least a qt of fluid ( oil and suspected fuel) at this point via fluid extractor and the level keeps rising after each drive of 20+ miles. I...

Update #2 These numbers are probably not good but I'm not able to be the judge of that. Scaned injector balance with vcds and the numbers read like this IQ cylinder 1 ] -0.07 Cylinder 2] -0.09 Cylinder 3] -0.31 Cylinder 4] +0.47 Any recommendations as to how...

Update: checked coolant with combustion leak tester and fluid remained blue. So head gasket should be ok and not a reason for rising oil level.

The oil smells slightly like fuel ( it has a smell for sure) and the oil level was rising. This morning after posting i adjusted IQ . It was reading 1.8~ 2 and running very rough , slow down shudder, white smoke /chugging on startup and black smoke on WOT. Was able to adjust it to 3.5 with...
