Has any one used this Chinese part from Febi??

Well, a new cam and lifters did not help my engine ticking noise. I think I need to do an oil pressure test. Any one have a bad injector? My ID motor made a nasty knock when it had a bad injector. Maybe I have a bad injector. This is getting to be a bummer. Well, I'll find the cause of...

They don't look to bad. But one or two were making some noise when the engine warmed up. Here are some pics. Some small dents in the top. :rolleyes:

Any one know which engine setting you use for the timing? The 1z + industrial come to mind. :o Thanks

Hey Abacus, Who makes a good cam shaft and lifters? I lucked out that the timing belt is due. How hard is it to get the lifters out? Thanks in advance:confused:

Has anyone had their rack move causing alignment problems? I think my rack is moving. It makes no noises though. Tomorrow I'm going to change the bolts and see if it's moved. I have all new A arm bushings. Thanks in advance:confused:

I'm interested in mounting a boost gauge. I can't find any gauge housings for the Passat except for a VDO round housing. Any body have some pics. I know some one must have some cool place for the gauge.:confused: Thanks in advance. Randy

Any one use this in their car interior? It's supposed to be good for quieting down the car inside.

I looked for some info with search and did not find any thing. What are the pros and cons? IPs the same? Thanks Randy

There is so much on intake cleaning. Is there a good non damaging fluid to soak the intake in?? Like the carb parts cleaner? Thanks

My 97 B4 has this popping noise every couple of turns. I replaced the upper bushings and bearings and it's still there. Maybe the metal spring top holder is causing some binding on the strut bearing. Hummmmm!:confused:

Can the little pressure tube in the computer cause this if it has a hole? Thanks

I did a search and found little. The 13mm bolt is tight and the plastic shift rod seems good. Is there somthing in the shift tower that can do this?:confused: Thanks

Well I found my next B4 project.:) I'll be looking for interior parts now. I have to de-mouse poop it first. Ufortunatly the interier will have to go I'm pretty sure. The body is in good shape. I think the engine is ok. But, It won't go in reverse. The shift cables look ok. The thirteen mm...

I have noticed a nice selection of TDIs in Craigs list for sale. Even the new ones are going on sale. I wonder if people are going more for eco boost crap.:rolleyes:

I replaced the leaking cam shaft oil seal. I used the VW special oil seal tool. It still leaks. It's a small leak. Could there be a worn out cam at 136,000 miles? :confused: Thanks Randy

Any one now the inner axle side diameter of the passenger side axle. Bet ya can't say that three times in a row:eek: Mine is an inch. Is this right? The boot I bought looks like it's for 3/4 of an inch.:confused: Thanks

I took my intake apart and the intake side to the turbo had about a cup of oil in it. Could the oil be coming from the valve cover vent pipe? I also noticed some oil on the out side of the turbo body intake side. The car has only 136,000 on it. That is supposedly :confused:. Just trying to...

Abacus What kind of pin extractors did you buy? I saw the post some where.:confused: I want to get a set myself. Thanks:)

I'm about to refresh my 96 B4. Has any one done a stock motor? I will need a new set of pistons. The car has 417,000 miles and smokes all the time. It burns about a quart in 800 miles. I think it's getting tired. I hate to go to the dealer. I don't know how good the remand VW long blocks...
