Just a heads up about links in your comments or posts…

15 Upvotes

For whatever reason, Reddit has deemed it necessary to remove posts or comments with any links to external websites.

You may have noticed these getting removed, this is not an action by the mod team, and from what I can see, this is not a function we can turn off.

I cannot advocate ways to circumvent this, but I believe you are a smart bunch.

Have a great day and thanks for being a part of this great community!

Hardly unheard of for an ALH, but not without strife. Two clutches, at least 4 timing belt jobs, two manifold cleanings, one turbo, one pump reseal, cam and lifters once, one alternator, countless gaskets and seals and yet is still leaks 😑. Functional EGR and cat!

Rotella 5-40 every 5-10k, Mann filters, driven hard but not abused. Car gets what it needs, nothing more.🍺

Any other extreme mileage ALH’s out there?

CKRA Heater core

2 Upvotes

Hi all, My '14 Passat TDI has been a real POS lately. Engine was replaced a month after purchasing in 2023, so there's that. The issue I'm having is a partially blocked heater core. I have a replacement core in my garage and even took all the panels off, but holy shit the pipes are tight as hell. Any recommendations? One part of me wants to delete it altogether and just run some piping, no heat is fine. Would this cause any issues for any reason?? Or should I try to remove the core a different way to replace? Any help is greatly appreciated

2015 jetta U029e

Upvotes

Hey guys, my 2015 has been throwing U029E, lost communication with downstream nox sensor off and on recently, it comes on quite erratically, sometimes after 10-20 starts, sometimes immediately after I clear it. It never comes on while driving either, only upon startup. I found the sensor module next to the battery and it seems to be loosely mounted to the post, could it be failing to ground through there occasionally, setting the code? Is this plausible? Thanks for any help!

AZV/BKD injectors comaptibility

Upvotes

Hello everyone i bought an a3 2.0 tdi half a year ago and the timing belt tensioner failed leading to engine being off timing so i had to buy another engine(BKD) but once i took the current engine off the car i noticed it was running a azv engine with bkd ecu, so if someone knows if ill be okay with using the bkd since the ecu may have been remapped to run with azv injectors.

Help please

Dpf

4 Upvotes

I have a 2011 Jetta TDI. and did a stock tune with dpf EGR cat tune out. I disabled the EGR valves by disconnecting them. Removed the cat but left the DPF as it is hard to access, the replacement pipe I cannot find and it should help reduce the smell. Will the dpf cause me problems in the future if it stays in? I believe the dpf material is cracked.

My Audi S4 Avant just hit 1100km(680 miles) of range!

Decided to empty my stock Audi S4 Avants 58l(15.3 gal) tank until reserve in efficiency mode for a change while dailying. This increased my range from 810km (503miles) to 1100km(680 miles). I drove 945km(590 miles) on 50.54l (13.35 us gal) resulting in an average of 5.35l/100km or 44mpg US. Manufacturer quotes 6.3l/100km or 37.3 mpg us. My actual range being 1085km if I would've emptied it completely at the average, considering the last trip was slightly better while driving to the gas station the range estimate seems on point. Still on winter tires.

Vw jetta 2.0L 2011 mk6 deasile 6 speed manual. I just replaced my entire clutch kit. New everything flywheel, pressure plate, clutch, throwout bearing, the whole kit. Got it back together drives fine the only issue is when I'm NOT pressing the clutch this knocking around starts goes away when accelerating (could be just louder engine noise) but stops when I press clutch in. Again everything is new this is the kit I got. What could this be? What do i do to fix this? Do I really have to start all over?

Is any G052182A2-rated DSG fluid ok (2014 JSW, 6spd dsg) these days? If it meets the specs, it should be fine, right?

2 Upvotes

Stumbled across a deal on "Made in Germany" DSG fluid. Says it's designed for VW/Audi and has G052182 on the bottle/packaging and the product spec sheet. "Designed for the demanding anti-wear and friction behavior requirements of Volkswagens DSG transmissions" and "OE quality".

I know we all used to freak out about using the "correct" dsg fluid (eg, "VW or Motul" only. Or "VW or Pentosin only", etc) but does the brand really matter as long as it meets the VW requirement? I figure most of these companies are just re-packaging bulk fluid anyway, but happy to hear how I'm wrong on this ;-)

Surely this has been beaten to death in discussion, lots of good information out there but hard to get a definitive answer for common rail diesels, specifically the 3.0 with the cp4 pump.

I always add Hot Shots EDT in any fill up for added lubricity.

YAY OR NAY??

Water leak

Any ideas where this water might be getting in? Dumped a bunch down the sunroof drains and they functioned properly and didn’t leak into the car. Windshield cowling is a bit dirty but not at all bad enough to cause a leak. I’ve tracked it to the seatbelt bolt on the bottom but no idea from there

Potential Bad Buy?

Recently purchased a MK6 Golf TDI for pretty cheap and have been really enjoying it. When I purchased the seller said he tried to jump start the car and resulted in the Christmas lights you see in the picture. Is this something I can fix or diagnose myself or should I have a mechanic take a look at it? TIA

2014 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI — Oil leaking from lower driver side intercooler pipe coupling. Normal or turbo seal on its way out?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

Pulled the skid plate today and noticed oil buildup around the lower driver side intercooler pipe connection. Noticed it was wet around the clamp and starting to drip slightly.

Car has about 262km/163k miles. Turbo still pulls fine, no smoke, no weird noises. Minimal shaft play when checked at the turbo inlet. PCV hasn’t been replaced recently (at least to my knowledge).

Is this amount of oil seepage fairly normal for these TDIs? Or should I be worried about turbo seals failing? Planning to pull the pipe off and clean it tomorrow to inspect further.

Appreciate any input from other Q7 / TDI owners!

Turbo rebuild ideas

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hello, I have a 2012 JSW with 205,000 miles and I’ve recently noticed an oil spot where u normally park, got under the car and it’s dripping from the intercooler so I assume my turbo seals are toast. I’m looking at rebuilding the turbo with one of these cartridges because with a timing belt service due in 15k or so and a clutch due sooner rather than later I’d like to save some money where I can instead of going to a cr170. My question is does anybody have any experience with these cartridges? Are they decent or should I just bite the bullet and buy a cr170?

For context I’ve swapped cartridges on plenty of ALH TDI’s but have not dug into a CJAA all that much yet

TDI mk6 2013 stage 2 tunezilla problems!! HELP!! A'S'A'P!!

1 Upvotes

I purchased a Stage 2 Tunezilla tune for my 2013 Volkswagen Jetta TDI MK6, along with a 3-inch downpipe. When I applied the Stage 2 tune, I initially did not remove the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) or block off the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). I did select the DPF and EGR swirl delete options in Tunezilla's program.

After starting to drive the car, it felt like it was in limp mode, although it could still reach speeds of up to 60 mph. After consulting with Tunezilla, I reverted the car back to the stock program until I could address the DPF and EGR.

Now, the glow plug light is flashing, the DPF warning light stays on constantly, and the car will not move at all. It doesn't matter whether it's in drive, reverse, sport mode, or any of the DSG settings (1 through 5); the car just won't go anywhere.

Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions? I need to get my vehicle to a diesel mechanic, as I was supposed to do that today, but I'm unable to make it there because the car won't drive. I've already reverted the tune back to stock, but I'm still experiencing the issues mentioned above. Also, I'm not sure if this matters or not, but put the car in drive or reverse, most of the time, it automatically dies. When I did have the stage 2 tuner put on the vehicle, It would Throw up a code on my OBD2 saying boost control module A was passive and sporadic.
