i blew into port 1 and flow was through port 3. i applied 12 volts and heard and felt the valve operate, but there was no change in where the flow was-still #1 to #3. called the friend i got them from and we know they were good 2 weeks before. so i installed them under the assurance they would work....

yeah i did that but when i triggered the solinoid, nothing changed, and with both switches.i mayn have to plumb them up and try.

if your MIL light isn't on and assuming the motor has good compression and there doesn't seem to have any other issues, it's probably the MAF sensor. But I've also seen turbo's be shot and not light the MIL. The easy thing to try first is get under the car and see if the wastegate lever moves[about ...

I got some good used frybrid 3 port switches, but the guy who gave them to me didn't take them off and so doesn't know which ports are in/out/vege. If anybody has installed any of these could you let me know which is which.
thanks

i never did say that they won't be reliable, however until vw and all the service departments get a handle on what causes and how to correct the problems they'll have when they fail, then good luck when something does f..k up. Anthing elecrical is probably the vehicule electronic control electrical ...

well i really don't want to get into a big debate or argument about this, but since i've been at vw through 5 generations of models i can tell you what my impressions are. It seems since the a4 models came out what i call the corporate build mentality has completely changed. They seem to have adapte...

i'm quitting vw after 21 years partly because of 2006 jettas[no 2005's in canada]

as long as the body is solid[gotta look out for that in these parts] then if the cost is low-buy i. mechanically anything can be fixed or repaired.

as far as we've seen at work[vw dealership] synthetic oil seems to help the keep motor cleaner-it helps to prevent coking. personnally i recommend a 98 tdi highly, possibly the best allround car i,ve ever owned.

Hey stopping. yeah i had a place on 15th ave and the met but good thing i didn't sign the lease because there are NO garage licenses to be had in montreal. I will work at home for now until i can buy or rent a garage with the permits. Just got the jetta chipped today; gonna change the nozzles for th...

i'm just about to convert my 98 tdi to run on vegediesel and was told that i will have to have the ecm flashed to adapt the fuel/timing map to compensate. Anybody ever run across this issue, will accept all advice.I am going to have the nozzles modified so they won't clog.

i was thinking more for someone who doesn't have the expertise, place,or money to fabricate the motor mount, oil plumbing,etc. By just pushing the compression i would think you get maybe 60-79 hp and 90 lbs of torque and it would be basically just an engine swap. Not as much as a turbo, but better t...

there may be a thread about this somewhere else, but how about installing an aaz or iz or ahu motor without the turbo,and instead bumping the compression with a thinner headgasket? i'm sure someone has tried this somewhere. If i remember the compression on those motors is 19:1. couldn't you put it u...
