Please give advice for my continuing oil leaks
Hey guys. I come here because I always get great advice which I appreciate. Here's the skinny: I just replaced my oil pump and pan gasket because I had leaking and also my oil buzzer was coming on at idle (I have brand new oil sensors). I'm still getting a lot of oil leaking out from what looks like...

New Injectors and #4 Still Leaks
Hey guys. Just replaced all of my injectors...torqued them to 52 foot pounds like the Bentley Manual says. He's running great but just trying to get my leaks under control...What else could cause #4 Injector to leak out of the bottom and the center? I bought them rebuilt from partsplaceinc.

Are the lines secured together with those clip thingies? Yeah they are supposed to prevent vibration. It's easier to just replace all 4 with new ones that are clamped together then frig around with the clamps. What's worse is that it's way too easy for the clamps to fall apart in your hand and drop...

Seems like someone was on here with the same problem. ..and someone is making new injector lines with a slightly different bend on #2. Price wasn't bad either. That's something I'd look into, myself. I pretty much bought all of the used injector lines in the area. However, recently deciding to repl...

Injector #2 pressure line cracked open 3 times same spot
I have replaced my #2 Injector line from the pump to the injector three different times. It keeps blowing and getting Diesel or WVO all over the engine. I fix it immediately after it happens. -My pressure lines are hooked up correctly with the appropriate holding pieces to prevent vibration. -The sp...

Hey guys...I'm still having wobbling issues, seems to be worse now starting at around 55mph. Recent attempts at a fix: 1. Alignment at a NAPA garage. 2. Put the LF tire on the back and the LR tire on the front. So the one that started to wear from not having an alignment is on the rear now...and I d...

Well I've been checking prices of mechanical fuel pressure gauges and the cheapest one I could find was for $30. I'm not trying to be a penny pincher, I've just spent a lot of money on a lot of things lately. What if I just replaced the sensor on the block and the sensor on the oil filter flange? Gi...

This guy grabs used gauges and senders from local salvage yards. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4601968 $25 shipped is a pretty good price. With stock, electrical gauges/senders you don't end up with a pressureized tube of oil in the passenger compartment. That's a good deal thanks for th...
