I removed the snowscreen from my Golf (2002) and now the underside of my air filter gets clogged up with leaves and other dirt and debris. My car is getting up...
I assume you don't have a boost gauge. This sounds a lot like what I was seeing - it corresponded to the car overboosting. The 'lag' happened when the car was...
Ok so i found the snow screen and i also just simply removed it. It is behind the light and there is not going to be alot of stuff that is large. That is why...
John- that sensor is the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. It tells the computer how much boost is being generated in "absolute" PSI, meaning PSI...
Nope, no boost gauge, but I do have VAG-Com. I'll try the cleaning of the MAF and if that doesn't work, I'll replace it. Nice to at least sortof know that this...
I'm in the same boat. My 98 NB, 115k, is running fine, but has no power and no apparent turbo boost. I'm going through all the basic things for diagnosis, and...
Iam not 100% sure if the 98 is the same as mine, but i had to change my VNT-17 turbo gate vacuum valve. I had off and on turbo problems and when it acted up...
I had the same issue with my 2003 Golf. I put a new actuator on the turbo and the boost was back. You can check the vacuum system first to see if that's...
I am looking for a T connector to hook up trailer lights on my 03 beetle TDI. It is supposed to connect in line with the wiring harness. I find them listed...
Don't know the answer to your question, but make sure you get a converter box type, not just wire taps. The tap style will overload the brake light driver...
I pull an ATV with my TDI Jetta. I got hitch and wiring kit from http://www.etrailer.com . Worked great, good quality, easy instructions. I recommend them. ...
There is a TDI beetle specific group where the current thread is just what you are asking, not the electrical parts. I have towed a lot with trailers up to...
re: I often only use 4th gear and not 5th gear to keep the engine cooling better but I have had no trouble at all. (Stretch) Heat generated by engine is...
Water circulation through the radiator is dependant on the speed of the engine. I was using a data port scanner. As I said I had no trouble. I have had...
here is pic http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VW-TDI/photos/album/833914006/pic/list during oil change i found this. i put camera above the right axle shaft to...
... Is there a coolant flange attached to the cylinder head over the transmission? If it is plastic they usually crack, at least on the 2.0l gas engines. Then...
If it is coolant then the engine coolant temp sensor leaks and also the plastic part it mounts into leaks as well. ... -- Sent from my mobile device Paul L...
I had a massive coolant leak in my 2001 TDI Jetta a couple weekends ago in about the same vicinity, and it turned out to be a defective little plastic "U"...
To be honest I'm not exactly sure what happened with the clip. It appears that one side of the clip "let go", allowing the coolant temp sensor to pop out a...
The plastic U clip isn't actually U shaped. The inside of the legs actually have a round cutout. Paul L Fisher TDI-less. For now. Check out my website:...
after further review as you guys recommended it appears the slow leak is coming from the coolant glowplug housing area and working its way down. maybe bad...
I continue to have a problem with the turbo in my 02 jetta tdi. I had the boost pressure valve replace in January, but the problem remains. The car runs fine...
Before you do that... check the VNT-17... it is located behind the engine. i have an 02 jetta as well so if reach down behind the engine from the passenger...
It's quite possible it's a clogged intake. The MAP sensor is waaaay upstream, in the top of the intercooler. If the intake or EGR is plugged, the turbo will...
Donald, I had the exact same issue when I replace my the turbo actuator. The actuator was out of adjustment (rod was at first set too short). When the...
OK 3 persistent codes I can't get rid of - - engine light for GP circuit; - washer fluid light (!); - ABS light so I went to the local VW mechanic yesterday...
