    Poppin a P0301(misfire c. 1)

    Im clearing a hidden p1550 code which is happening intermittently when onramping(turbo engaged). Im growing to accept my stuck rings(which usualy unstick after engine is up to temp. Not always, but at least 80% of the time). 1550 defined says look at the hoses. I looked. They are there. Lol...

    Poppin a P0301(misfire c. 1)

    Unsure of what it is, but to a nursing student like myself, it means several days having to ride a motorcycle without health insurance while i investigate the issue, or just smoke out everyone in the line going into trafffic from school each day. Blowby is occouring, once the engine is warm, it...

    Unfortunately it did not. I will upload a video of the extent of the blowby; It is not enough to push the dipstick out, but removing the dipstick and the oilcap shows a smoke maker.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but cylinder 1 was compression tested to 130psi, the rest around 420 or so. Ive got about a year of school left, so my options are limited. 20k miles on 3 cylinders? I hope so. Things I did check/fix at the TDI club meet today: 1.the ECU hose. Intact and...

    No, no. The Veg conversion was on an 82 Merc. This one has only run on diesel. Like i said, they ajusted the timing and vagcomed the ritchness of the fuel. It wont run nice until at operating temps though. It is blowing smoke for the first 3 minutes of driving it(like i said, bout 2/10, whiteish...

    Poppin a P0301(misfire c. 1)

    Is this the end?! Got it vag-com-ed at pure motorsports this afternoon. They said it was running rich and timeing was off. $90 paid and i thought this was the end of the problems. Sigh. I coldstarted it after it cooled for 6hrs and it started a bit easier, didnt buck AS much, but in no way...

    Poppin a P0301(misfire c. 1)

    Im not sure. Is this something someone at my skill level can do with 2 toolboxes of common tools? (skill level: break pad, rotor change, oil change, new turbo oil feed line, mercedes veg conversion, exhaust work) Also, color of the smoke varies. When i start it up it blows whitish smoke(that...

    I just(hands still wet from washing them) hotswapped with new injectors and it is running without throwing code, but also still bucking a bit. New injectors, new fuelfilter, timing belt in the last 15k miles. I checked out the EGR area and brushed outward to clean it a bit, but it does not...

    Poppin a P0301(misfire c. 1)

    Ok, now im a bit confused. are they 1234 left to right or 4321 left to right? Imma kick myself if i thrashed out the wrong cylinder! I saw a nice slide hammer on IDparts that looks like it would do the trick. I see you are rocking the 520 nozzles. Did you rebuild them yourself?

    Heya, Im brand new to this forum and Im happy to have found yall. Ive got a 98 Mk111 jetta tdi that is popping CEL of P0301 cylinder misfire. In efforts to pull the injector to test it, I damaged it to the point of ebay shopping for a new one. I pulled #4 with ease, but 3 and 2 are stuck and im...

    Clutch master cylinder and Slave clutch cylinder repair kit?

    Improv I knew a guy:rolleyes: with this same problem and he just would not keep his foot on the clutch at stoplights and if he:rolleyes: kept it in to the point it would stay down, he:rolleyes: would just pull his toe under it and pull it up. Dont get stuck in gear when this happens though; the...
