Andrewcupra TDI's ride

[Andrewcupra TDI]

seemed like engine choking , not clutch

need to get that catch can fitted

any ideas on checjing injectors without removing and sending off

 

[jonjay]

Vagcom but cant remember which block. You can see how much they are injecting. etc..

Must be massive over fueling

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

at 30mpg i can believe it lol

i also checked injection quantities the other day and still out massivly (using block 13)
Cyl1 -1.67
cyl2 -1.25
cyl3 -0.16
cyl4 +2.99

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

any ideas how i can find out i have the correct tandem pump fitted to my engine , as i had one replaced when the whole shamonga happened

as their on ebay for £50 used , thinking is it worth me getting one and take a chance ,
as some descriptions state they cover a whole range of part codes ?

also this jerking has started more now , seems lower down the rev range , and seems as if it down want to rev much further than 3 -3500 rpm

put some millers in yesterday and most of it seemed to have dissapeared again , not sure if theres $hit in tank , ?

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ive just ordered some bits from tps
oil 19.35
oil filter 2.60
fuel filter 10.15
total inc vat was £38.52

so thats on the to do list .....

any ideas if a neuspeed rear arb is any good , and how much they worth second hand ??



also found the new part number for the tandem pump 038 145 209Q

will search for a pump on that number

 

[MarkWales]

need to check mine for you will try and look later

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

well took the plunge and did the service

also bought x2 wynns injector cleaner and filled the fuel filter up with them instead of priming with diesel
then bought 10k boost to spray in intake to clean up

got to say car feels much more responsive

car also hit 90k


after hols il buy the tandem pump for it too

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

well back from a week in tenby then a week in blandford @ dorset steam fair
car seems more responsive now since the service was done

still smoking like a bitch on tickover though

any thoughts on turbo seals would this blow blue smoke

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

not much to report apart from i took my roofbox and bars off after a month

cars done about 92k now

its been suggested that the valve stem oil seals may have worn / gone ,

allowing this to pass through , im no expert so its like pi$$ing in the wind to me


should start a new build thread on my van i bought kitting out as a race camper van for my new hobby motocrosss

seems to be taking up my time at the moment

 

[MATTCR]

what bike you got?

i got a trailer last year and was close to buying one, but seems theres nowhere to ride want a kx125

 

[MarkWales]

Lets see the van thread then

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

will get one sorted

four stroke all the way

YZF 250 07 model

i also have a 10 plate XJ6 roadbike (600cc )i bought last year but not got much time for that lately
its only done 2400miles since i bought it new last year !!

Also found a new product for cleaning i bought at a mx race meeting called Rhino Goo

the guy who owns the company is from abergavenny and its getting massive on the mx scene

i washed my mx bike monday , van tueday and done the leon last night , i sprayed it on the wheels and exhaust and all the clayed on soot & brake dust just fell off with no effort or aggitation required

so heres one for Maz to check over as it says no harmfull chemicals to destroy things with

[MarkWales]

rhino goo sounds good

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ye tis really good

any ideas on best / cheapest place to get 12v wiring for my van lighting to be wired up

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

well took the plunge and did the service

also bought x2 wynns injector cleaner and filled the fuel filter up with them instead of priming with diesel
then bought 10k boost to spray in intake to clean up

got to say car feels much more responsive

car also hit 90k


after hols il buy the tandem pump for it too

well its been a while now , car is still smoking , seems like 50 fags a day !

its hardly used any oil since the oil change plus i never checked it after the change
checked it last night with a bit over 92k and on the dipstick its still 3 quarters full of the min/max so cant seem to be using much oil
