    02E Mechatronic solenoids galore

    AllData -cluster(bleep)

    Wow, I happened to get into AllData.diy. I guess you get what you pay for. There is a very good chance if you pay for this site for a later model like a 2010 or 2009, I would guess there is about a 50% chance that you will be wasting your money. Specifically, the site's 2010 CJAA Cam Position...

    Mann filter at Advanced Auto Parts

    Hi Guys, Normally I use the best on expensive, complex equipment like my 2009 TDI. I had always considered the VW dealer oil filter to be the best, it had a nice chevron pattern on the filter media that I liked. I really have no other reason to think it was the best. Anyhow, I have my...

    Top speed, WOT, sqarshed some bugs

    What's top speed? I have a Jetta 2009 manual and the speedo goes to 160 with a redline at 4500. Today in 6th gear at 50 mph, the tach showed 1500 rpm. At 80 mph the tach showed 2500 RPM. This is a 30 mph increase in speed with an increase of 1000 rpm in engine speed. I know that the change in...

    How expensive should a torque wrench be

    New dmf tolerance

    New dmf flywheel has about the same rotational play that the old one has. Over an inch of rotational play! The new one came with the packaging disturbed and a nice oil smudge on the flywheel face. Made me think it was a return, and restocked then sold to me. I'm visiting at a hospital and have...

    Gear oil for 6 speed manual

    I had my TDI bubble busted by driveline noise that ended up being a bad Luk dual mass clutch. My Luk ran out so to speak. At any rate, I had the 6 speed manual bearings all replaced by the local expert. He and I both agreed that some of the bearings looked great, but 2 counter shaft bearings had...

Transmission is on the bench and open; checking bearings for wear related to noise/thumping vibration. The DMF flywheel has rotational movement...
