Actually….. they do fail painful slowly. They leak until….. as my step daughter’s Jetta tdi is leaking and cranking. Need to replace it.
yeah, im looking at them right now... quite nice.
Oh im for sure getting rid of my aux pump. One less thing to worry about failing. Especially since I take this thing on many far road trips
Your cam timing is off. I had the same issue when I finished mine had to adjust timing. If you cannot get your cam pin in at TDC you will need to adjust.
Thanks guys - install went well, so it left the garage in time at least haha
Unfortunately you have to pull it apart again make sure you can get your cam pin in at TDC after two crank rotations. I was close but it has to be dead on.
What prompted you to pull the codes? Did you get a CEL first, then pull the codes or was the car just not running properly? I finished up my Timing Belt Service about two weeks. Car is running fine, no CEL. But I haven't checked for any codes.
So what did you do to address the issue?
If you're asking me - it's the wife's daily, it was having issues starting when warm; still unsure what the issue is, but I swapped her vehicles and I'll dig in when I have time.
@calimustang @Timma100 Could you share why warm climate only? I like less lines but I'm cold climate.
i also asked this before but didnt get an answer.. would love to know too!
You can adjust it like the torsion value on a PD TDI, but only within the window allowed by the slots in the cam sproket. With the car running and warm check vcds measuring block 051, idle stabilization value, and see if it gives you a number that charges slightly with revving the motor.
You kept the CCV system to the turbo entrance?Add my name to the list of CP3 pumps conversions.
Finally finished up the Timing Belt, T-Stat, CP3 and CR170 Turbocharger installation. I am embarrassed to admit to how long this project took me.
Some highlights in no particular order:
1. Putting the car in Service Position was very helpful and allowed ample working access for the front of the engine.
2. No need to remove the Oil Filter housing to install the T'Stat. Just make sure you have a small / short 1/4" set of square drives.
3. Removal of the passenger side axle makes it much easier to remove / install the Turbocharger.
4. No need to remove the engine mount when performing the Timing Belt service. With the fuel pump deleted, there is plenty of room to work. The Diesel Geek video is extremely helpful.
5. Test fit the engine oil dipstick tube and apply heat to make a slight bent to clear the CP3 high pressure fuel line fitting. Then use a 3/8" spacer to reinstall to the side of the flapper valve.
6. Reuse parts of the deleted auxiliary fuel pump frame to secure the fuel lines. I didn't take any pictures, but I modified the frame to remove unnecessary metal tabs, so all that remain are the two plastic fuel line supports.
7. Trim the engine cover so that it does not rub on any fuel lines
8. Allow plenty of time to do this project, I ran into challenges with the CP3 installation that took time to solve.
Some pictures below of the finished install:
I have a Golf 6 GTD "CR170" and idk what to do with the CCV system, that heater does what and whats the benefit off removing it?
You can use a catchcan if you want. I cannibalized the old system and jb welded the setup to work (CR140 -> CR170)
So I am not saying there is any benefit to removing the CCV Heater, I am just saying that the CR170 turbo inlet manifold, that I used for the conversion from a CR140 to a CR170 turbo, does not provide for keeping the CCV heater.
in the same sense your CP3 will also eventually fail...
I found this, is it the same?@Garrison cc, while the darkside one will work, it is too expensive!!! buy the OEM one, here is the PNyou're welcome.
03N906054
2700 BAR Common Rail Fuel Pressure Sensor
(edit: it looks like the darkside one comes with a washer..... i dont find that worth $150, so, any copper crush washer of the right size will work. hit up your local park rose, true value, home depot, etc. you should be able to source a copper crush / sealing washer for pennies..)
looks like it, yes
I just checked mine, and the format looks the same, I think it is plug & play
the tune will need to be updated, but yeah
some are luckier than others. I’ve also seen posts from members saying their cp4 died after end of warranty….
i have seen this too, but i've often found those people did not do service to a T. they would "skip" a fuel filter service, even if only by 10k miles!
yeah, i did my original belt at 119k miles, but it was 8ish years old then. maybe 7. i figure i'd do it "early" just in case, but currently i am on track to do my second belt at 130k interval. so 250k miles.
