My daughter's 2005 Jetta BEW just had a CEL that cleared and left this turd in the punchbowl, same as OP:
18628 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1
P2196 - 000 - Signal too High (Rich) - Intermittent
..
I see a Bosch O2 sensor for $132 at worldimpex. The car makes good power but has driveability...
4 year bump for question about OEM vs Viton
Hello fellow members. When I had my ALH Golf I had a TDI guru replace the stock OEM, twisty and kinky fuel lines with straight VITON. These are the lines from firewall to filter and filter to head. They worked normally and I felt a bit better about...
Thanks for the quick response. I did notice the "OR" in his recommendation. The confusion lied in what looked like a negative suggestion, ie don't change under either circumstance (less than 10-15K miles or 2 years).
My mistake. It's a whichever comes first suggestion, which makes sense. :o
Whoa!
My daughter recently got a 2005 BEW. Are you saying if she puts 40,000 miles in 18 months she should still wait for 2 years, pending OA results?
Thanks
My daughter recently bought a 2005 Jetta TDI (BEW)
Am I to understand that you can't set Adaptation on the EGR like I did on my 2000 Golf?
Also, when I tried to Login with 12233 it said code not accepted.
When I take the boot off I can see the spring is very stiff, especially noticeable when releasing out of reverse.
Anybody have an idea what downstream from the shifter might cause this? Thanks.
Actually it shifts OK running or not... EXCEPT reverse.
I'm now having to put a lot of downward pressure to engage and upward pressure to disengage.
The word "jam" comes to mind.
Or all of the above.
I know the throw out bearing is shot. I'm not having any stiffness in the other gears. Feels like something is jamming.
Thanks for your reply, Bob.
Bumping this up...
I'm having alarming difficulty getting it into and out of reverse. This has slowly been getting worse. About a year ago I had a Diesegeek first gear getter installed.
It takes a real shove now to get shifter to go down to engage reverse.
I'd appreciate any feedback.
