haha you're getting all excited there Randy! Seriously, DP tuner is very high on my list...as soon as I get basic maintenance out of the way, and I can afford some gauges and a valvebody for the tranny, I am getting tuned. PRONTO.

Randy I COMPLETELY agree...diesel is what's important. And some of my vw friends have already been a little surprised by how quick this thing is, it's only got some crappy flash program on it (I'm assuming something like edge or something similar) but one of the guys with a stage 2 1.8T could...

that does sound interesting...although I have a truck for now. Fuel economy is a thing of the past though haha.... 7.3 Liters of diesel guzzling power. :rolleyes:

I got 13K even for the car...probably not quite what it was worth, but I was happy with it. DMF was not an issue, as I had it replaced this past summer with the VR6 SMF. I didn't say anything about the cam, but I did mention TDI Club to the buyer over a week before he even came to look at it...

Well, I sold my Jetta this past Saturday. I was getting ready to start doing premature cam replacement, egr delete, and basic mods, but I got an offer I couldn't pass up. Basically, I have been needing a truck for the past year anyways, and I just didn't have the resources to buy a truck and...

holy old thread bump

lol yeah, I did post them but in a different thread. I'll try to find them tomorrow and post them here. I don't have the new parts yet, and it will be a little while before I tear into the engine (probably Christmas break) but I will be taking detailed pictures of the entire process.

BRM Cam replacement update... OK so I just wanted to give an update on my cam replacement situation. 1) I have chosen to go with the BEW profile Stage II Colt camshaft. Based on my research, I will probably experience a slight loss in hp/tq, but going with the BEW profile should help with...

Well, I talked to Frank, and it's looking like I will be going with the Stage II BEW cam. And I have been needing to do the EGR delete for a while, so a tune is in my near future as well.

That's very good to know about the cam bearings, and the stage 2 cam. I have pretty much narrowed down my choices to that one, I just need to talk to Frank and source everything.

Well, I have gotten in touch with Frank, and will be calling him tomorrow...I'm already feeling more comfortable with everything that's going on with the whole cam issue. I will continue to do research, and will of course keep everybody updated on my decisions and my repair/upgrade/whatever...

I replaced my TB at 75K, along with all of the components, so I am good there. I will go ahead and just talk to frank06, it sounds like he can set me up with everything I need. I probably wouldn't be drilling my head tho, that's just a little too much for me to deal with lol.

I have been putting this off for a while, and in the meantime my Jetta has developed a distinct rattle/clatter in the top end which I am sure is a worn cam. I inspected my cam around 15 or 20k miles ago and found slight wear; I will be inspecting it a second time later this week to confirm that...

I posted this code up on another thread, but I figured I would start a new one just to get it out there...I sort of need to get this figured out. Basically, this code has been going on and off for the past 2 months...I haven't noticed any significant changes in the way the engine runs, but...

ok so this is exactly what shows up on the printed out copy of the code the VW shop pulled from my car: 1 Fault Found: 008213 - Intake Manifold Flap Position Sensor (Bank 1): Implausible signal P2015 - - - Intermittent Fault Status: 00100000 Fault Priority: 0 Fault Frequency: 62 Mileage...

Karma...lol. That wasn't on purpose, I guess I just got confused bc I don't really hear their name much anyways. I wasn't claiming that RC says they are the best, or that anybody else said that. In my opinion, my "best" choice is usually the one that is most popular with other enthusiasts...

I just got the code read again, and I will post it up either tonight or tomorrow morning.

oh, and good talking to you Randy! I still have the car, and while it is still technically for sale, I am very close to taking it off the market and just keeping it. There are a few things going on with it right now (including what I now think is excessive cam wear) and basically, if I spend...

OK, thanks for the info guys. I just wanted some updated info listing the "top tuners" here on TDI Club right now, and that's what I got. Honestly, I am probably leaning towards getting RC, but that may change. I will update when I start the process though!

OK, so I am seriously considering chipping my car in the near future. I've been out of touch with the TDI community for a while, and I just wanted to get the most current info on my chipping options. I am not interested in going with Karma TDI (not even sure if they are still operating), and...

Hey everybody, I know its been a long time since I posted, but I'm back! I was actually going to sell my Jetta for a while, in order to get some extra money to help cover my tuition and help my sister with her tuition. But, it is looking like that situation has resolved itself, and I am...

congrats man!

Believe me man, I know the feeling all too well.

Thanks Randy, I may be doing that. I hate to say it right now, but it is looking like I will most likely be selling the car in the very near future though. I honestly hate to let it go...like you said, I am getting quite close to having a completely "fixed" car with no factory defects...
