    Pressure retention valve in fuel return line.

    I was doing work in the valley of a newly acquired 2013 Touareg and found the pressure retention valve had been removed and a simple tee was in its place, the thing runs and drives fine but does have a long crank sometimes when parked uphill on a slope. I'm thinking this is the reason. Does...

    Looking at a 2012 Jetta, what should I watch for?

    Well, I bought it. Couldn't pass it up. 2012, Jetta, DSG, 200k deleted...pretty sure it has a tune (runs strong), zero rust which is rare in Iowa, a few hail dings and a couple scratches. $4000

    Looking at a 2012 Jetta, what should I watch for?

    Hello all, I’m going to look at buying a 2012 Jetta with the DSG. I own 2 ALHs and a couple common rails of different brands but I have never been around any VW common rails. What are some common things to look for? Problems, concerns, tips, anything. Thank you,

    Help! Suddenly can't shift. What to check?

    Sounds like a possibility the clutch isn't disengaging fully.

    Recommended order to upgrade the 1.9 ALH

    A Burpod tune on factory hardware is about all the stock clutch is going to handle. Once you do the clutch, Injectors and turbo are next.

    what tuner should i get

    I can’t speak for the price point but I bet he would be less $$ for even better gains. His tune in my stock 2001 has some serious grunt.

    ALH?? If so talk to @burpod, he is the king of ALH tunes.

    MK4 ALH 5-speed quest/ownership

    Great little cars with an even better engine. I bought my first one as a cheap work beater, liked it so much I bought a second…

    What did you do to your MKIV today?

    When ambient temps never get above freezing, yes you could…and I 100% would get rid of it. But in the summer months when the temps never get below 80 it seems…yea I’ll keep my intercooler.

    What did you do to your MKIV today?

    Yea, I get that. It just seemed to help recover some lost MPGs through the cold months.

    What did you do to your MKIV today?

    Lost heat is wasted fuel.

    What did you do to your MKIV today?

    Watching temps before and after covering it last winter is what led me to cover it again. I know this new tune and turbo will be different so I will continue to monitor as well. @burpod I will try to get you another couple logs sent throughout the weekend.

    What did you do to your MKIV today?

    Heat conservation for winter, and it keeps the slush, road grime and salt out of it.

    What did you do to your MKIV today?

    Just did some work to my 2000, pd intake-gtb1756, initial tune from Burpod is pretty tame (on purpose) but running very well. Cut the cat apart and knocked the guts out of it. Covered the radiator, grill, bumper vents and wrapped my intercooler for winter. Oh and put my good tires up front. Lol

    New or Reman Starter

    I went with a Valeo, no complaints whatsoever. Worth every penny.

    tuning analysis - what's in a malone tune - starter kit

    Im sure it would run, but it won’t be right. Get a VCDS and an MPPS cable, talk with Burpod. You will not regret the results, his stuff runs very well and gets great milage. I have two cars with different combinations of parts running Burpod tunes and I’m very happy with them both.

    MK4 ALH: Dual or Single Mass Fly Wheel

    I just did a SMF and VR6 clutch on my ‘01, have about 700 miles on it so far and it is silent, super smooth. My 2000 I bought with an unknown clutch, it’s a SMF and not quiet at all, stiff pedal but very nice to drive. It has .260s and a good tune, super fun to drive.
