Hey guys been reading some stuff on this forum I'm a newb to tdi but always wanted one !
I have learned a bit already but now that I have one I figured I'd like to join !
So I. Bought a 02 jetta gls tdi I got it for a good deal as he went off the rd and wrecked the front bumper and windshield!
The cars been straight piped its got 280000 kilometers on it and I notice its smoking quite a bit ! Not crazy but enough havent driven the car much yet still working on it ! .. I took the charge piping off and drained the intercooler there was prob close to half cup of oil in it and the piping is oily ! So I cleaned everything took off the pcv checked the play in the turbo and put it back together noticed the wires for the o2 senser are cut but no code ? Its not smoking as bad but just wondering if it will clear up with driving or ... I have something else to look at ? It did have a code 1556 when I got the car but cleared it .. Hasn't come back yet but only drove the car a couple hundred kilometers so ya any feedback would be greatly appreciated thank you ...
Play in the turbo seemed in check with a couple threads I read on here so ya just wondering if it being straight piped would smoke more too?
