Yup, would love it but unfortunately- to far away.

Recent item on my 05 was the map wires were rubbing threw. It would kinda go in and out for a bit. Didn't put a light on the dash but my scan gauge II would read and clear the code when it could be cleared. Wires were bad about 2 inches from the MAP sensor on 2 of the 3 wires. Intermittent...

Locking pin can be hard to get in. Looks really close to being able to slide in.

Wow - finally figuring out the pictures deal. Sorry for the delay on those. I don't know why the center 2 pistons had so much carbon chunks in them. Possibly from when the previous owner trying to work on it knocked some loose from the buildup due to the egr. Hard to see the valve marks on the...

After what i learned on here - i strongly advise the head get work done. I thought the same thing with the car i bought a couple months ago. Engine spun over fine but missing teeth. Appeared to only be a tooth off and good compression. I pulled the head off and saw 5 spots on the pistons. All...

If is currently is the timing belt out of time the cam position sensor will flag it preventing starting and a code on vcds. Good idea to check the timing but if it ran before I don't think this is the issue.

If you have vcds you may want to activate the in tank fuel pump to reprime the system some. The lower 2 allen bolts aren't the most fun to remove and install due to the coolant hose. I would honestly try the valve cover gasket first and while in there inspect your came .

I have now done a couple bew heads like what oil hammer has said on golf/jetta. I have managed to just leave the turbo oil feed on the turbo and gently twist things around to get it out. Thank you Oilhammer as I do plan on working my my couple bew engined beetles someday as well as the kids...

So I am getting .035, .034, .037, .035 for piston protrusion. Other then the carbon on the piston had the 4 exhaust valves and one intake valve - there is no other marking once I wiped the pistons clean. Can I just replace the valves (and the cam/lifters)?

I find the timesert stronger for the aluminum. Used in my duramax diesel head for a manifold bolt. Helicoil is like a spring vs the timesert is like a double threaded pipe (in and outside).

I have a magnetic based dial indicator and checking tonight the piston protrusion. I guess the biggest question is- can just just swap out the valves that made some contact without having to do anything to the valve seats or guides? New cam and lifters on order soon. Prefer if the engine...

Update and questions. Looks like the exhaust valves have kissed the pistons and I see a mark for the intake on the transmission side piston as well. Didn't imprint but did make a mark in the carbon on the piston. So - if I send this off who are people to rework the head? Lifters look good and...

Assuming out East? Sedan or wagon?

Local guy selling new cam, lifters and gates timing belt from a BRM for a good price. Will any of these parts go on the BEW engine?

The cam lobe has a chamfer on them. At the peak of the lobe when the chamfer is worn off and it has a sharp edge - then the lifters tend to look like this as well. Time for cam and lifters. Some also look into the oil pump as any of the hardened metal has to go threw the pump before catching in...

Seems ecode lights can't be purchased anymore that are Hella branded. Been a while since I have purchased mine and working to get another Jetta on the road since my Golf is no longer with us (saved my life and I loved the lights on it). What are the best lights to use now shy of swapping the...

Where is the best place to find the solenoids? Oil?

$50 shipped? Central MN

Crappy. Same boat as you on my golf. Just crossed 350k on my Volf when someone pulled in from of me. Assuming you are in California - if so near which town? Price? If you were in the Midwest I would buy in a second.

Greetings. I am removing parts off my 05 golf bew with 5 spd manual after it suffered a crash. The transmission mounts on the top are broken. Is the transmission junk or has anyone successfully repaired these? The engine - has oil in it but when it crash (Tboned someone who pulled out failure...
