    I've been floating around the webs and this site trying to problem solve a p0299 issue I am having. A few months back I had my car in for inspection. It had a SAI CEL and my mechanic traced the issue to cracked PCV hardware. He ended up replacing most if not all of the PCV plastic bits and...

    I just replaced my old worn out diverter valve with a 710N. Now around 2,000-2,500 RPM I get this really annoying groaning noise that will go away if I let off the throttle or accelerate. I know this has been discussed and I've read every thread I can find on the subject. But, they all kind of...

    our 2001 passat was running very lean, its running at 25% on the trim, O2 sensor is chalk white... I found the crank case breather pipe was broken right where it enters the case under the intake manifold. That didn't make any changes so I looked around and found the diaphragm was torn on the...

    1.8t 2002 Wagon - ~150k miles I've noticed a strange (to me) sound coming from the car when I accelerate, especially uphill - usually when the RPMs hit around 18 and in the mid 20s. It's a slight metallic pinging/fluttering sound. I can't decide if it is the bicycle-card-in-spokes sound that is...

    I just replaced my seized ko3 with a ko4 as a first step to what I'm sure will be a long line of modifications to my 01'. First thing I noticed was the intermittent boosting I was experiencing. If I eased into the throttle it will be fine until I hit about 2500-3000 rpms then it start bucking...

    Hello. i have notice a vacuum hose just dangling by the diverter valve. it runs straight to the intake. I assume this should be plugged into the top of the dv? so i put it together and zip tied it for the time being. however once i did this when i floored the car it would cut in and out and make...
