    Loss of power. possible air restriction

    Vagcom says my car is requesting ~ 400-800 ml of air but actual is 200-600 ml. Turbo seems fine as I can see the manifold pressure rise to 2000+ mbar. I've cleaned my K&N filter and tried to run with a new paper one. I've also idled the car without a filter in place at all, but still cannot get...

    Need a new head.

    That's how I purchased it. It won't be in a lift for me to check the crank for about a month. But the price was right, and I didn't want to pass it up. The engine runs and the cam seems to be well oiled. So I'm guessing the kid I bought it from ran it low on oil. And the cam should be the first...

While hoping to just replace those, I found that the block needs to be replaced as well. the cam seats in the block are all chewed up. I already have a new cam/lifters and from what i...

    Help purchasing 01 tdi

    I'm looking to purchase my 2nd tdi, an 01 jetta. it has heavy lifter and cam wear. I found it on CL. and the owner states that the cam wore through the lifters. 260k on the motor, and from what i'm gathering here and from my current 02 jetta, that's not the norm. I'm guessing the oil pump is bad...

    Diagnosing and Fixing Limp mode for A4 1.9TDI [low power troubleshooting]

    Sounds to me like a leak in your fuel line on the suction side. allowing a steady flow of air bubbles in. Does your rubber fuel line look wet? it doesn't necessarily leak fuel, like i said i think it's the suction side so fuel wouldn't come out it would let air in, however when the engine is...

Somewhere along the way i misplaced the bolt that holds down the turbo to the block near the oil return line on the underside of the turbo. I assume it...

    Blower motor resistors

    My blower motor is acting very flaky. Working when it wants to and not when i want it to. I recently rebuilt the motor itself checked the brushes and bearings, all that seems just fine and the motor turns when i hook 12v to it on the bench. So i'm starting to think that the resistor pack might...
