Hoo, niitä saa täältäkin ! - Mitäs nuo kustantaa !?! (I'm asking the pricing )

Re: factory fill oil for \'03 ti "They use one oil for all TDI engines. The way I understand it from a mechanic I worked with who used to work in a VW assembly plant, was that all the engines are filled with oil and test fired at the factory before they are crated up and shipped to the assembly...

Re: factory fill oil for \'03 ti The euro factory fill is indeed 503/506 (I.e. NOT 505 !!). All new TDIs are long service interval - >30tkm. (And it's only possible with 506 oils in case of TDIs.) And ALL 506 oils are 0W-30 !! These simple facts are somehow very difficult to understand in the...

Re: Let\'s design the ULTIMATE injectors! About the holes ... Larger holes let more fuel to flow, yes - BUT the fuel spray is now longer in lenght. I.e. More fuel in the spray - more fuel to evaporate and ignite when flying towards the piston crown .. -> The fuel droplets get's nearer to the...

Re: JE won\'t make diesel pistons "I’m sure REV (the guys that make titanium everything) can whip a set of tulip intakes for a TDI no problem." Titanium everything = titanium pistons !? .. The would'n crack from the heat nor melt !! (OK - The thermal expansion could be a problem..)

Kerma is selling some PowerPlus nozzles !? What are these ? (The number cannot be the whole size in um - can it ? Then those holes would be ~0.5mm !! Way big !!) Any data-sheets etc. ?

Re: If a VW tech can reflash the ECU, why can\'t a chip tuner do the same? There is only one flash chip in the ECU because of cost resons.. (For the same reson some older ECUs did use two cheap chips ..) Anyway the program and data is stored on the same programmable chip(s) - So both are...

Re: If a VW tech can reflash the ECU, why can\'t a chip tuner do the same? Older ECUs do have OTP-ROMs (One-Time-Programmable). Some do have factory programmable flash. (So this cannot be flashed via SW.) All newer ECUs are fully SW-flashable via the diagnostic bus. (These are in PD-TDIs and...

It has the plastic underbody from factory ... If you would like something better then search for 'factory skid plate' in upgrades-forum. (With this skid plate make sure you have the room with the air conditioning compressor. If you have a non-factory installed AC this may be a problem..)

Just put 1V zener diode from the +5V to MAF signal output and 10kOhm resitor from there to ground. I.e. Here you emulate the MAF that gives maximum flow indication ... (Search the forums for a better explanation !) This should give you the maximum power - It'll smoke if you dont have clean...

My tip : Take a flat metal bar (thick sheet) and drill a hole for the bolt. Lube the rivnut and bolt threads - But not the metal bar nor rivnut flange area. Now use the metal bar as a handle when tightening the bolt / rivnut. (In between the bolt and rivnut ) The friction between the...

PLEASE, PLEASE - Could someone translate the .pdf to english !?

About MAFs ... Have you checked the supply voltage to the MAF when running ? I have heard that some chargers (the integrated regulator) gives too high voltage. Hence the battery voltage and any other directly derived voltage is then too high. This high voltage has caused shortened bulb life and...

The original EGR doesn't seem to be too restrictive (when clean ) .. .. AND if it still makes 4hp difference (which I still doubt ) .. .. Then how much could be gained from those very restrictive IC tubes !?! Any tries on the lower & upper IC tubes ? (Dynos !?)

They do sell all kinds of crap : http://www.moton-chemicals.com/en/ka105.html http://www.mach-mit-spar-sprit.de/umic.HTM and http://www.rvs-tec.com/English/index.html I wouldn't add any kind of 'sand' (nor Teflon-goo) to my engine

Ah - we are back again on the fumigation ! Yes, methanol and ethanol will work .. .. ALSO fumigated diesel oil will work (this is documented in several SAE papers) ! The trick is that fuel / air mixture must be lean enough. If the mixture is very lean those spontaneously oxidized fuel...

Re: No info about 5w-40 on Castrol\'s website?! "Syntec 5W-40 exceeds the engine protection requirements including Volkswagen 502 00, 505 00 " "Doesn't tell me any more than the lable on the bottle." VW 505.00 = Oil is tested and approved by VAG to use in TDI (non-PD) engines with the base...

ARRRGGHHH - I just found this (from that on-line russian catalog) : (1) 1J0 018 930 D Engine/gearbox assy skid plate for vehicles with air condit. TDI,DSI,V5 So the -B part is the wrong part !! I'll try to change it ... Otherwise the parts are same .. (BTW- There are two different types...

I have Skoda Octavia (same as Bora / Jetta). The parts are 1J0 018 930 B and 1J0 018 885 A . So the parts should be right ... The mounting holes etc. align perfectly and it seems fine .. before you try to attach it to T-supports. The air-con compressor is in the way !! The belt wheel and...

Hey - slow down !! I cannot follow all these new threads about the same issua .. .. How you can write so fast (and so much misinformation ) "Going back to PWM's claims - there are only 3 oils, none available in the US, which are xW-30 and meet VW506.00." This is true - there aren't too many...
