The crunchy noise is probably the bumper/wheel wells. Pretty sure the bumper was cracked too so when you were driving fast and it hit a slight bump everything crunched or hit the new tires. You can drill small holes for now and use cable ties to stitch them together to improve it until replacement can be done. Awesome job, Ray.

I worked as a VAG technician. The unit injectors system is called "Pumpe Duse" in German. The camshaft driven pump (called the "unit pump") supplies fuel at a pressure of around six bar through ports inside the cylinder head. The injectors are operated on by the camshaft lobes to boost that pressure to approx 2000 bar. The injectors then inject fuel when signalled via the electrical connections. Unused fuel is returned to the fuel tank via a fuel cooler located under the vehicle. Pretty reliable system though some suffer from camshaft wear. (Edited to correct errors caused by my phone).

Hey Ray greeting from across the pond, love your videos. With the priming of the VW Diesel fuel filter when you take the old filter out place the new one in place an then hold the old filter over the new one, where the black feed pushes into the filter and just turn the white or black plastic piece on the bottom of the old filter and the diesel will drain from the old to the new filter and save having to turn the engine over to prime it.

Also...he can only work on what the customer asked for (on the work order). The only reason he cleaned the EGR valve is he had to remove it to access the valve cover; technically I suppose he could have just knocked the excess off and put it back in. About all he can do is recommend further disassembly to give valves and intake a good cleaning.

All have do is put diesel cleaner in cleans out quick. Will see black smoke for awhile then clears. Diesel engines are in no way like gasoline, they will run off anything slightly combustible. Which is good and bad, bad because can "run" away continue running on just oil and tear themselves apart.

From a TDI fanatic i can tell you all that carbon is why we have our ecus programed to turn off the egr. Then we completely pull the intake manifold when doing timing belt replacement and i personally use liquid lye drain cleaner inside the intake manifold while i plug up the intake hole with plumbing expandable hole plug. Boils out all that oil and carbon deposits in intake.

I've had some interesting experiences with merging and changing lanes. The first memorable time was shortly after movie to Atlanta and getting in I-75. A person in a BMW decided to speed up, I just kept merging. They laid on the horn and we both kept going. Person's good was about at my B pillar, but I kept going and the BMW finally yielded. Never understood people's hostility while in the protection of the metal fortress. I won't bore you with other examples and don't willingly act the jerk, but I definitely had to learn to be more assertive here. I was taught to plan ahead while driving and even have my GPS set up so that I can see future turns just to avoid setting off someone's road rage. Anyway, so glad to not have to commute 30 miles every day anymore.

Ray, what are your thoughts on replacing that timing belt while you had the timing and valve cover off? Replacement interval on those is around 75k if I am not mistaken. Our Jetta threw the timing belt and we had to rebuilt the head due to the interference engine. Is this because it is a diesel?

@dopiaza2006 2 жыл бұрын

There's a huge amount more work to replace the belt - removing the valve cover isn't even part of changing the timing belt.
