Just a heads up. I have a dead Passat at this time. Serious wrenching is about to commence in the next week or so. If it is not resurrected, I won't be able to make the trip. Too many people with jobs, not enough cars.

Forget the question. I searched your recent posts. I hope all goes well.

Well I mad the 4250 mile round trip and now have my westy home. Drove it around some today and all I have to say is you better have a lot of time to travel. A good comfortable speed is about 50-52. I will be cleaning it out inside so its liveable and I plan to drive it to the GTG.

I just got my TB change done by Deafbug, and he noticed my intake manifold is a bit cruddy down in the smaller passages.
If Old Navy has a pressure washer and maybe someone can show me how its removed I'm up for getting down and dirty with some elbow grease and brushes, otherwise I can use Deafbug's services in the spring if removing the manifold is a pita and not doing other engine work.

I think I can borrow a friends power washer and in back yard I have a concrete pad where that can be done. However it might be a lot less time comsumming, messy, and whole lot easier if you got Paramedick to just ship me an intake. I can ship your old one to him as a swap out deal. His intakes have been tank cleaned to look like new, and he has been doing this for some time and he has done it here at the my GTG in the past.
Paramedick charges a small fee to to cover the cost of having the intake cleaned and this is the only way to go in my opinion. You can switch out the intakes is an hour or less, the other way will require several hours, get you ungodly dirty, requiring a second set of clothes to change into for the work and then throw away when done.

I'll hope he gets his Passat back to life in that case. Photo opportunity of looking like 'Fudgems' the Dominoes Pizza character might be funny too.Old Navy said:

PM the guy and see if he has a intake he can swap out with you and what he will charge for that switch.TDI'watcher said:
If still planning on cleaning your own bring safety glasses. I will post your job in the work list.
an intake cleaning isn't hard to do
i had the KC TDI guys help me do an intake cleaning in June, it was pretty easy really. granted there were about 15 of us working on it, but it took about 45 mins to get out, i went with 3 other guys to power wash it out and left some others to clean the EGR while we were gone. bout another hour to put everything back together, definately less than 2.5 total.
if you are gonna clean it yourself, make sure to have a cleaner of some kind on hand. there was definately some crud stuck way on the inside that i couldn't get to with the car wash power sprayer. just get 1gal of BioD and you should be good to go.

Work List:
TB List:
As per MOGolf: B4's require: timing belt, timing belt tensioner, idler roller, serpentine belt, power steering/water pump v-belt, serpentine belt tensioner pulley. Optional is water pump as these last a very long time typically. Usually only the part with the impeller is needed, however if bolts break off then you're better off with the entire assmbly with new o-rings for mating to the block and thermosat. Replacing the entire assembly takes a lot longer than just the impeller housing. Some vendors sell the entire assembly for less than just the impeller housing with gasket.
1.) Jerry Stringer: TB on '97 Passat
2.) Kneebull: TB on '96 Passat
3.) mcolmsted: TB on '03 Jetta Wagon
4.) Bookerdog: TB on '02 Golf
General maintenace & trouble shooting:
1.) Cardinarky: vacuum problems? brake bleeding.
2.) Old Navy: Brake bleeding on Magnum. (maybe)
3.) ensanity: Door handle adjustment to prevent pulling off arms.
4.) marauderer: Provent install and TS Performance MP-8 power module and their Multi purpose display module to install on '05 CRD.
5.) TDI'watcher: Intake cleaning.

Has anybody heard anything from MOGolf lately? I sent him a PM to see if getting a fourth on the list was OK and haven't heard anything. I searched, and the last post from him on the board was mid-July.
Frankly, I'm a little worried... That's a long absence for him.

Last I heard he was working a lot of hours and did not have much free time, (very similar to Oilhammer)Bookerdog said:
MAKE SURE you have Qtips with you to clean out the ports after you remove the injectors. i did nozzles at the KC GTG (well others did them really, i watched) and we forgot to have some handy. if you could get your hands on some of those medical swabs those might be even better... you know, Qtips with longer wooden handles and cotton only on 1 end. also have something ready to clean the threads on the injector so that the nozzles willl fit in neatly. other than those 2 things, mine were a total snap. thanks again to NitroWolf and the crew.woofie2 said:

98 Jetta. Count me in for a timing belt change also. I'm also going to do the water pump. I think this would be a good time to get the water pump changed. Already have all the parts, G12 and distilled water for the coolant.

We are really loading up the work list and I am not sure MOGolf can or will want to do 5 TB job's in one day. The general mantaince & trouble shooting has to be worked in also, however with two bays we may get it all done. I am here by closing the work list unless MOGolf says otherwise, no need to be working here in the garage until 2 am Sunday.

i hate to jump on the bandwagon late, but as long as we're working on doors....Old Navy said:
my passenger door inside handle no longer works. to exit from the front passenger seat, you must either be let out from the outside, or roll the window down to reach the outter handle on your own. anyone had this problem before?
basically, i'm just looking for anyone who can help me take apart a door. i assume we will NOT be able to fix it at the GTG, but if someone can help me open the door to diagnose it and put it back together, i'll be able to get whatever parts and repeat the door dismantle when i get back to omaha.
i'll glady take a spot near the end of the list due to the insignificance of this problem, as well as my late request for help. thanks.

That's easy.MrErlo said:
If it's a nice day we can do it in the parking area.
it is one of two things, unclipped hook or broken cable, hook is easy to fix at the GTG, cable may not be so easy.

I really don't want to do any work but I could bring tools. If anyoe wants to pull their injectors I can bring the slide hammer. I can also bring timing tools as well. With the Westy I will have plenty of room. Just don't want to weigh it down to much because it will already be a sloooow trip.
Also if anyone needs anything thing in the way of Cat filter stuff or injector installation kits let me know before hand.

I just found out that I won't be attending...arrgh...not even 2hrs away from me, and I can't go.
It's my alma maters homecoming, and I had already told the wifey, and the boys from the fraternity that I would be attending this year. I didn't realize until today that the two were conflicting.
Any chance on a spring GTG ON???
Little early, yeah I know!
