Trying to find out if my 2004 frankenpassat has had the delete done. I have a scope, just don't know what to look for...
Find that, and post the link. I'll wait.I have read on here if your oil change takes 4.5 quarts, the BSM is deleted. If it takes the normal 4 or just under, BSM still present.
good to know. I’m no expert and have a TB and delete to do in 1500 miles.Find that, and post the link. I'll wait.
The counter rotating balance shafts don't sit in the oil. They have no volumetric displacement to raise the surface level of the oil.
and I took off with that presumption.Helical gears driving the balance shaft module vs. a single roller chain.
Just to confirm, the tell tale resistance is when the BSM is still present. That correct?I would feel confident in testing just by using the dipstick, there's a tell tale resistance increase with maybe an inch to go
Yeah, and if you stick a boroscope down the dipstick tube on one with an intact BSM you'll see why: the dipstick rubs on the housing. With no BSM, it's loosey goosey all the way to the bottom.Just to confirm, the tell tale resistance is when the BSM is still present. That correct?
