    Very weak ac performance golf mk3 tdi

    i understand. If you can, reach into your car, under the dash and find the selector box, with the panels inside. If you can get your hand on it, is IT cold? Then your AC is not able to deliver the Cold Air, since it is mixing with the warm outside and and also the heated air from the heater...

    @alghamedGT we are trying to explain.... Deep behind the radio, there is a box that controls where the air comes out--panel, floor, defrost/windshield....... this box also controls hot(heat), or cold air(AC) as well.... This box controls flow of air by moving metal panels to block and...

    Very weak ac performance golf mk3 tdi

    Hello from USA, North Carolina where it's hot and humid enough for dinosaurs to return and thrive. I hope you stay cool in Morocco! I think your problem is related to 'Blend doors' foam failing. Google VW foam blend doors, 'Jetta Blend Doors' on Youtube, and also multiple threads here...

    Locked inside my car!!

    MY comment was also for clarity, in case Mod's move it to correct forum, so people giving remarks don't confuse mk5 golf owners, because THAT does have a emergency escape... and if they don't move thread it stands for posterity. (Stars? You love me, you REALLY loooooove me!!:love:)

    Locked inside my car!!

    Under his avatar, he has a 2005.5 (MkV) Jetta....same as listed in his sig line... Therefore no wagon, and not a Golf. I'm not explaining how to escape all VW's, just answering his question about his model and year. What i left unsaid, is what i did not say, fair enough? But yes, mk5 golf's...

    Head condition @ 321K miles

    I'm not TELLING you timsch, I'm asking the experts for clarification for myself.... Most times I've seen a stripe like this across a bucket, it's meant a cam strike/valve strike or low oil.... and I've noticed MOST of your lifters have this stripe across the middle, and the 1 bucket that...

    Timing belt job - rotating engine by hand but apparently hitting valve. How did I screw this up?

    spring steel is pretty tough and the square insert is what, brass? its a flat spring, locked end inside and the outside end goes into the tab a vise could deform the assembly preventing motion with clamping force that, a 10-14mm nut cannot physically do.... adding thermal expansion and...

    Timing belt job - rotating engine by hand but apparently hitting valve. How did I screw this up?

    yep, that's how the write-up says to do.. Without the camshaft sprocket counter-hold tool, probably cam sprocket slipped on the cam.... a small error of adjustment degree there is doubled when turning the crankshaft... since crank turns twice per camshaft rotation and the ALH is extremely...

    Timing belt job - rotating engine by hand but apparently hitting valve. How did I screw this up?

    Winner! yep, if cam sprocket was tightened prior to tensioning the belt that's the problem, especially without camshaft holding tool...which is NOT the locking plate.... locking plate is not enough for cam sprocket alignment relative to piston motions

    Timing belt job - rotating engine by hand but apparently hitting valve. How did I screw this up?

    also, if you ARE getting valve to piston contact, you SHOULD be able to determine which cylinder is hitting by watching which camshaft lobes are actuating the lifter on a specific certain cylinder, eh? When you feel the bind, stop, check the camshaft lobes/lifter contact... Now checking the...
