looking to pickup a working used automatic tranny for my 95 TSi. Please post with price and location. The sooner the better as im losing hope with this damn thing :D pm away =)damn tranny that was in my car decided to take a tumble while moving it around an broke a huge peice off the...

Okay my engine spun a bearing an peppered it completely through the entire engine. Ive been looking for a 7bolt motor for a while now and yet to have any success till recently. A local garage here in pittsburgh has a 7bolt that came out of a wrecked 95 TSI. He claims it ran fine when he pulled...

lol don't tempt me =) I just may!

lol i can't even keep her running long enough to day dream about tuning. Running at stock everything seems to be a major hurdle for this thing.

Would there be any DSMr's in northern pittsburgh up and around tarentum/natrona heights area that would be willing to help me diagnose a nock sound im getting. I can't tell if its in the block or the head. Never truly heard either of the two in person before to determine which it is. Would just...

annndd count me out...went for a ride today...the motor has been blessed with a terrible rod knock. =( =( =( neone got a block for sale that is ready to be driven on? Used or not i don't care =) ahh joy....nothin like workin on a dsm on a gravel driveway. lol....

Count me in...finally got my little auto up an tickin again!

Thanks guys, appreciate it. Hopefully it won't take mitsu 2 weeks to order me a damn bolt.

Okay my previous balance shaft kit that was installed before i owned the car, failed, resulting in the bolt that holds the stubby shaft centered with the gear came loose and ended up being destroyed. I need to know...is this a specific bolt, or could I use any equal length grade 8 bolt? Silly...

...god damn it... got the oil pump removed from the car today. First suprise I found was A. oil pan removed and what do I see? "Stubby" from the balance shaft removal that must have been done half assed by a previous owner. This thing was chewed to hell an mangled just sitting in the oil pan...

yes balance shafts are removed, but the whine didn't start untill months after they have been out. Guess ima buy the OEM pump. Anyone got a 95 3 pc timing cover laying around they want to sell? mines trashed. lol

Alright well to start, I tore into the timing belt side of the motor removing everything too find what was causing a wicked whining sound, also to find out why my car is no longer getting spark. Checked everything else, figured it had to be crank angle sensor an cam angle. So im replacing both...

Okay so I was driving home from dropping off the female "friend". Pulling out from an intersection the front end just drops as if I lost all power or it stalled. Like just a instant no power engine off. Instantly I was thinking wtf? timing belt broke my luck. I recently replaced the belt and...

I have tried 2 different 2g bovs and a uncrushed 2g bov and crushed 2g bov. The crushed 2g BOV held boost fine on another car but wont on mine under boost leak test. does that make any sense at all?As far as 02 sensor goes...that is gonna hafta be one thing i try when i get the money. I...

Okay after a few months of hunting down boost leaks, and fixing timing issues and other random BS thats been going on with the idle bla bla. I made a trip from pittsburgh to Cleveland for the steelers/browns game last night. The car did pretty well the whole way there and back. Temp gauge...

All that has been in it is ATF. Never DOT fluid dear lord no lol. Its been fine up untill now...this is a crazy issue. I even bled the system by going stop to stop for 15 seconds at each checked fluid level an repeated untill fluid was full after going from stop to stop. And still does the same...

Okay I was down pittsburgh for light up night last night and as I was getting ready to leave from a stop sign, I noticed my PS pump was making the typical low fluid sound. So I drove it straight home. When I got home I opened the hood to see power steering fluid pushing out from under the...

Thanks a million, thats exactly what i was looking for! big help!!! kudos to you!-------------Resolved---------------

Yeah i know to use the feeler guage on the set screw to open the butterfly slightly. My problem is im not sure where exactly the set screw is supposed to be adjusted too? and if there is any process or way to get it correctly in the right spot.

Okay guys just to start out I removed my entire Throttle body an replace all seals, completely disassembled everything, including the idle stop screw for the throttle butterfly. Now my idle is a bit odd its semi steady with just a tad of fluctuation. In park i can get it to idle at 750 but as...

Check the timing marks on the cams, line them up according to the Vfaq at VFAQ Site - Visual Frequently Answered Questions . I just solved this very similar issue with my newly purchased 95 tsi. Rough idle, sputtered, stalled, vacuum was only around 10psi at idle and next to no power during...

damn, fixed my car tonight too...damn timing was off 1 tooth. Was gonna head down there to see if neone was there. Maybe some other time. Now that my car actually idles, boosts, and runs like a dsm <3!Lookin forward to meetin some of you locals, all my current buddies are v8 lovers.

I just finally fixed a huge idle issue on my turbo 2.0 which was very lopey and unstable bouncing between 200-750 etc etc almost as if it souned cammed up, also smoked black smoke as if it was running rich.Problem ended up being the exhaust cam was out of time by 1 tooth. So it couldn't...

Fixed the problem, My timing was off 1 on the exhaust and 1 on the intake. Took it to the garage in Tarentum PA, argued with the mechanic there that did the work on my car telling him its off and showed him. He argued back telling me hes done hundreds of these cars and he knows how to do it. He...

would love to go...but car is outta commission till tuesday...cams both off by one tooth untill tues >.< Unless neone wants to help me tomarrow night fix my timing lol...i have no garage so im fkd atm.Is it supposta be warm out? if so...maybe i'll stroll down on the bike.

Thats exactly what its doing, its progressively gotten worse in the last 1.5 months i had it. When i bought it, it sounded like it had a very slight miss, but i was told thats just the vibrations from the Bshafts being removed. But obviously thats not true nemore lol.nope no check engine...

The head has been shaved, and number 2 piston was supposedly replaced aswell as the rest reringed an honed. Valve job has been done aswell..so I imagine that would have something to do with the high numbers. Just can't figure out the rest of whats going on...I let it crank for aobut 5...

ECU appears to be clean and damage free, top and bottom. Wish I knew someone with a 95 ECU to swap with real quick... can't afford to just go buy one. Did learn though that my ECU is EPProm or w/e which will be nice in future.Boost leak test goes upto 20 psi bleeds down to about 10 psi an...

gotta find out how to check the CAS. Will search up the process on that. Do u mean the Camshat sensor? or the crankshaft sensor? Just got finished opening the ECU to see if there was any problems inside. Found out its a 95 5sp turbo ECU in my 95 Auto Turbo talon. Auto / 5speed ecu wouldn't make...

okay guys ive been working on maintence last few weeks trying to get to the bottom of this goofy idle. When i bought the car it had a very slight miss every once in a while and bad idle surge. I found loads of boost leaks at the throttle body gaskets, shaft seals and biss valve seal. I replaced...

in the same boat as you man....hope u figure it out...i'll let u know if i have any luck myself.

Looking too buy a used hard upper IC pipe with a 1g BOV flange. I can't afford too go for a brand new one...but my damn 2g BOV is a leaky bastard and it is extremely annoying to hear your turbo killing itself to make a measely 10lbs of boost while it pours out the bov lol So if neone has any...

Hey there guys, From tarentum...bout 20 mins north of pittsburgh. Just wanna say hello! Got my talon about a month ago...still working out the boost leaks and doin maintence repairs. If neone in the area has an Upper IC pipe with a 1g bov flange for sale, it would be greatly appreciated. Neway...

ty jay, much appreciated, got her up an running today...boosting alot better than when i got her...dunno if its the replaced hotside, or the new 02... either way...<3 the new found stock hp..instead of havin cavileirs and safelite autoglass vans ride my @ss everyday to work!

Okay i got a stock 95 tsi turbo on my automatic car. The hotside that bolts to the manifold is cracked/ broken where the manifold bolts bolt in not allowing me to torque it down properly. I have an extra turbo from a 95 tsi that was a 5 speed. I know the turbos are different...but can i swap the...

I live up in Tarentum bout 20 mins north on 28. Just picked up a 2g TSI...pity its Auto >< Still rocks my old civic regardless =)

Great, thanks guys! Swapped the sender unit out and now the light is out an all is good! Time to start fixing the TB leaks and small oil leaks!

Wonderfull thank you very much, I'll swap it out tomarrow. I was gonna change the other one thinking that was it. I would have been quite frustrated lol. Hopefully it fixes my problem so I can return to my damn boost leaks with my new seals an gaskets for the TB.

I guess to simplify my overly annoying detailed question. Does the sending unit control the oil pressure guage and the light? or just the light only? If only the light..i'll swap the units tomarrow from my extra motor.

Checked the oil. The oil is full. When the rpms go up the light is now staying on no matter what. As soon as i start the car the light is now on full time. I just dont understand why the light would be on, if the oil is full and I still have oil pressure.

Check oil light has came on, and will not turn off. It was not on while I was driving, I turned the car off and about 30 minutes later I start it back up and the light was on.Oil pressure normally rests at the L, when rpms rise, pressure rises to just above the first normal line. The...

Thanks for the response. I swung buy autozone they pulled the code for me it ended up being P0443 which i guess is Evap solenoid / purge valve?Im picking up an entire 41k mile 95 TSI that caught fire inside from a cigarette recently*ha* so interior is shot. Engine bay is great though. So...

Its the thought that counts ;) thanks.

Hey there guys, im new to the forum, just picked up a AT 95 TSI. Curious if any experienced dsmrs in northern pittsburgh / tarentum area would care to check out my talon an help me decide if its ready to be modded? I don't want to make the mistake of going an spending cash on mods when i should...

Okay guys I just picked up a very sharp 95 TSI that is in great looking shape with 115k miles on it for $2600.00. Hell the hatch even still stays up with no problems at all and the windows go up an down like it was new OMGFirst off here is a run down on the car...The dealer gave me...
