    I need a break from TDIClub.com

    How often should I be removing the intercooler? Is that something I should be doing regularly? I would love to delete the EGR and all that plumbing associated with it as well...

    I need a break from TDIClub.com

    I have the snowscreen removed. I have no codes either. Now if the anti-shudder valve is broken, it would still run? Only other thing I really want to do asap is pull the intake manifold and give it a good cleaning and remove the EGR valve and 'catch' the CCV oil. But I don't want to do any...

    I need a break from TDIClub.com

    Because everytime I come here to read up on what I think might be a little issue, I break into nervous hives! It seems as though every little thing, no matter how minor it is can lead to catastrophic engine failure! :rolleyes: Most recently (this morning) I had a case of the temporary limp...

    Finally going down the K-Line road... Can't scan

    Well, I learned that even though I unplugged my stereo all together that my cheap autozone Actron scanner wouldn't read because I likely fried the K-Line input on it. Took it to Jiffy Lube where they scanned it and cleared it for me for $20. The installer had a "remote" wire hooked up to that...

    Finally going down the K-Line road... Can't scan

    So I realized finally why I can't scan my ECU and it's because I have an aftermarket stereo. Only problem is, I disconnected the stereo all together, nothing plugged into the wiring harness whatsoever and I still have 10.46V on pin 7 of the diagnostic connector and reader still cannot...

    Hissing noise coming from passenger side footwell?? Sounds like compressed air

    I had identical situation and it WAS my charge air hose. Luckily for me it was the upper from the intercooler to the EGR. Faint hissing sounded like it came from passenger footwell area...

    Air in fuel lines, losing prime. Help.

    I just did this myself. Replaced only the top cover seal as I found that one to be my culprit and I was a little too nervous about the whole rotating the engine bit and getting that just right for the head seal...

    A new challenge. Power loss above 3000 rpm

    I had a similar situation with my Jetta, above around 3000RPM. No codes, etc. but it was because of the small leak in my charge air hose. Not low enough boost to cause a code, but low enough to notice...

    injection pump and nozzles

    I'm interested in bigger nozzles too if what I understand is true. I have the stock 10mm pump, stock turbo and stock clutch. Can I order these 764's and simply twist the stock injectors out, twist these in and go? Or do I need to do any 'tuning' or VagCom work?

    My first TDI!

    Just curious - with your busy schedule and the need to avoid repairs, etc. Why take on such a project? Find a running car and get a good head start?

    will this intercooler work?

    That ad says it is not compatible with the TDI

    Lost Prime trying to re-establish it

    The seal kit arrived yesterday. I was still very nervous about pulling that pump apart so I tried one other attempt at priming the pump. I suspended a bottle of diesel from the hood and gravity fed the pump while sucking on the return with my MityVac. Success! I got the pump primed! Cracked...

    2003 Jetta TDI not getting fuel

    I just went through this myself. I pumped and pumped on the MityVac on the Return side and I was prepared to pull the IP apart and replace all the seals until I finally suspended a bottle of diesel and gravity fed it. It finally primed and I was able to see that just the top seal was seeping a...
