^Sorry I have no idea. Just put some stoptech street performance pads in the GTI. Have a track day on Sunday, looking forward to it!

New MAF did nothing for my lean condition issue. Dumped the Big Pig off at Audi this morning. I'm nearly certain there is a vacuum leak caused by the tech last time they had my intake manifold off. I told them they need to get it fixed.

Called the dealer to get a quote on the 40k server for my 11 TDI. They quoted 420(heh) which includes oil change, fuel filter, pollen filter, oil filter and the standard "inspection". Should I just change my oil and filter this time around and save a few bucks since I'm planning on trading the car in as soon as I can get my hands on a 16 R? How much of a pain is it to do an oil change on the TDI? First 3 services were included with the free maintenance. Or would I be able to leverage having all my service done at the dealership where I"m buying the new car when I go to trade in?

If you don't have VCDS you'll need someone with it to do the fuel filter. If it's a DSG don't forget the 40k service. If it's not a DSG $420 is crazy high.

BraveUlysses posted:won't quote regular service interval work over the phone? sounds like a lovely shop They did my tune on my 2004 and were pretty easy to work with. I kind of had the same question. I don't think they work on TDI's much. They guy said they usually like to do a full inspection first to see if there are any other issues that might need to be handled (90 bucks). I was like, eh.

If you can, just do the oil and oil filter yourself and find a trusted mechanic off the map from tdiclub.com to do the fuel filter.

Why do you need vcds to do the fuel filter? To run the fuel pump so the HPFP isnt run dry? My experience ends around the ALH era.

If you quote individual items you need instead of the 40k service it winds up being cheaper, at least for the local dealers here.

I may just have them do the oil change and fuel filter change just so that it is logged when I go to trade the car in that everything has been done. I'm not paying 50 bucks in labor to switch out a pollen filter or have them "inspect" my car that is still tight as a drum. Called a different dealer and 229 for oil/fuel/pollen filter change. not sure why it costs an extra 170 bucks to do the inspections on crap I know is working just fine. veedubfreak fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Apr 24, 2015 |

Anyone have a wiring diagram for a MKV GTI? Or can tell me where the other end of the MAF harness terminates so I can hook up a multimeter and see if I have a break in any of the wires?

Unplug the MAF with the car running. If the idle changes, your wires are intact.

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3298776&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=158#post444065899 I have a MAF code. The system is reading an open signal as if there were no MAF (from what I understand). Unplugging it would have no change as the car isn't using the MAF to run at the moment. The sensor is good (replaced with a known good one). The PCV is good. Up next is seeing if the harness is okay.

Alabamarama posted:Apologies if this has been covered before, but I am interested to know what it would be like living with a 95 audi s6 avant. My urs6 is my daily driver and has been for over two years now. Mostly it's pretty ok to work on, the engine bay is roomy, and everything is laid out reasonably well. S-car specific parts can be a bother to get, as you mentioned, but regular stuff isn't bad at all. The Quattro world forums are a wealth of information,read through their FAQ to get an idea of what to expect. Overall the car has been as reliable as one can expect a 20 year old luxury car to be, mostly neglected maintenance items. The seats are some of the most comfortable I've had, the ride is good, and it's quick enough for me (for now)

I don't know what they did, but the car feels brand new after the service. I think it was probably the 40k mile old fuel filter. Oh wait, I just remembered, there was apparently a computer update. I think that may be why it has a bit more pep. Wondering if it got rid of the 1800rpm stutter that it has had forever that most TDI owners hate. "Improved ECM software calibration to stabilize O2 sensor MAF diagnosis and to improve drivability. O2 sensor diagnosis too sensitive and contamination of the O2 sensor causing MIL ON with DTCs P0136, P0139, P2271, P00D5, P013B and or P320C. MAF sensor, detection at low battery voltage too sensitive causing MIL ON with faults P0101 and/or P0102. DO NOT replace MAF sensor for the faults described here." veedubfreak fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Apr 29, 2015 |

Does VAG still put the fuel filter in a stupid spot like in the B5's (above the tank)? That was such a pain in the rear end.

On Mk 5 and 6 golfs, it's tucked under the body right by the rear passenger side wheel. Out of the way, but not too bad to get to (just have to be careful not to get a face full of gas).

The B6 Passat is even better, its integrated into the top of the fuel tank. It has a retaining ring that is a bitch and a half to get installed correctly, and its super easy to gently caress up the gasket that makes the seal. Ask me how I know! At least my VW dealer is cool and hooked me up the next day, and installed it for the cost of the flange since I had tons of dealer points to use. http://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Passat_B6-FWD-2.0T/ES345247/

I've got a 2000 passat wagon, and I some how managed to break off the attachment point for the hatch lift support. Does any body know how to reattach it to the car? I figured I would just have to take the trim off and bolt it back on, but there is no way to access it. Pictures to try and make this clearer: Hole I need to attach mount to http://seldomseencd.smugmug.com/Other/Random-Stuff/i-3QqK7DV/0/M/20150503_133937-M.jpg What I need to attach http://seldomseencd.smugmug.com/Other/Random-Stuff/i-MK2JZ3c/0/M/20150503_134000-M.jpg Reverse of the pillar http://seldomseencd.smugmug.com/Other/Random-Stuff/i-XNPQ3LV/0/M/20150503_134008-M.jpg Unfortunely, the hole shown on the back of the pillar does not give access.

Might be a bit late, but there should be a little lever-off button on each side to allow access to the bolt that holds in the rear lights, on the fuel-tank side, underneath the button there should also be little red thing to pull on to release the filler door, but you might need to fish it out a bit.

Hi, folks. I was wondering if any of you have succesfully installed an aux-adapter on a RCD 300 radio (I have ha Golf V, 2006). I bought this adapter, connected it to the radio from the back and pressed CD twice, which supposedly was it, but it didn't work. I'm wondering if the problem is that the CD changer input which the aux-adapter is connected to is not activated? Can it be activated using VCDS? And if so, how (I've never used it before)?

Got a 2002 GTi 1.8t with 110k miles, manual transmission. I'm starting to get a nasty grinding sound when putting my car into gear while the clutch is engaged. Specifically, when in highish RPM's going from 2nd to 3rd. One time I it was accompanied by a wonderful burning smell. It's also somewhat less smooth putting it into first from a stop and will make an audible "ka-chunk". I did some minimal searching and I think it could either be my synchros, my hydraulic fluid for the clutch (not engaging all the way) or something worse. Would something as simple as Pennzoil Synchromesh work? And where would I check my hydraulic fluid levels? If that's turns out to be the issue would it be an easy fix (topping it off) or would I need to bleed my system? Or maybe I just have no idea what I'm talking about...

Could be any number of things. Worn shift balls on shifter arm, stretched cables, old fluid, failing syncros, bad clutch. Start with the easy stuff that should be done like change the gearbox oil. See if your clutch is slipping at all or is stiff to press down. Next make sure your cables are adjusted and that the ball connectors aren't worn. I've always found the 02J transmissions to be finicky and want to grind and crunch on fast shifts from 2-3.
