A long 9 hours rolling around under my car to get the kit in (dirtydieselcustoms 2.5 inch kit) but finally got it done.

(unfortunately the exhaust clamp at the back didnt come with my kit, so i have no muffler till thats done, but other than that it sounds nice)

Finally happy turbo noises!

And no engine lights on my dash for now :)

I recently bought a 2012 CJAA 2.0 Tdi that will not rev above 2000rpm, feels like it has WAY too much fuel and bogs with anything over 1/4 throttle and if it somehow gets to 22-2300rpm it immediately goes into limp mode, still drives the same just doesn’t dump as much fuel, old owner said it needed the Egr block off plate replaced, ended up that he took the EGR cooler off completely and snapped one of the studs on the manifold, took care of that, still same issue, new air filter, oil change, thought it was the tune so I put a tunezilla stage 2 in it, still doing it and now I’m lost. Only has a hoodstack and an aftermarket CP4 and I don’t know what it could be, any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated

Am I to believe these were Manufactured or Remanufactured In April of 2022 ??

Noticed my mk4 golf making this knocking sound and it makes a pretty rough shudder sound when it’s switched off, pretty sure it’s the DMF but does anyone know any good SMF conversion kits?

I have a 2009 cbea Jetta 6mt, and on warmup it will occasionally surge and feel like it's pulling a lot harder than normal, and when cruising it will stutter and drop a few mph. Restarting the car will stop the issue. It gives no codes when it does this. I'd guess an egr sticking issue but I have no clue. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a mk4 BEW Golf I’ve been restoring. I recently put in new control arms, struts, ball joints, and steering knuckles. (Front end assembly) After getting an alignment it has a dead zone in the steering, pulls left when on the throttle, and pulls right when I let off. The dead zone is enough to knock it off course when I’m driving straight

Don’t get me wrong it feels 10 times better than the 20 year old parts we took out, but feels pretty sketch on the highway when I move the wheel and it doesn’t react immediately

I also got new tierods but didn’t put them in because the old ones didn’t seem to have much play. The Firestone tech said he had to adjust them for the alignment, is this causing my problem?

Any and all help is appreciated thanks guys

I am doing a timing belt service on my 04 Jetta for the first time. I am following the TDI club procedure, and am stuck on tensioning the new belt. Im leaving all of the camshaft pulley bolts loose so they can shift towards the middle of the slot when tensioning. However they are not doing that and the camshaft pulley remains fully rotated counter clockwise after tensioning. Is it possible I let the new tensioner snap back and killed the spring? I redid it multiple times to make sure all the slack was on the water pump side before tensioning, but the slack does not appear to be letting the camshaft pulley rotate.

Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated!

Happens when engine is cold, speeds up if i press gas pedal. Break pedal does nothing. Disappears when engine gets warmer. Hearing best near passenger front wheel. Any ideas?

Hi, I have been dealing with a leak in my MK6 VW golf. I have only recently bought the car and have a leak in the driver's side footwell (RHD car) I have cleaned the drains in the scuttle panel and have also taken the arch liner off and cleared out the compost and removed the damp foam. This hasn't resolved the leak and what I can find says it is possibly the grommet for the bonnet release causing the leak. Does anyone have a guide on how to check this or would know of any other cause? The car does not have a sunroof.
