I was trying to check the o-ring on the BISS because i have crappy idle. Anyways, I tried unscrewing it and it was unscrewing fine until the end, i can't get a grip on it, it's still in the hole but it's like, out of threading. What should i do? and shouldn't the BISS come out to the point...

Hook me up if you can, [email protected] in advance man!

Sounds stupid, but I just got an o2 housing, and I'm curious what everyone uses to bolt the downpipe up to the o2 housing with? What bolts/nuts? And where did you get them from? The o2 housing doesn't have studs in it like the stock ones..-rivet0r

Whoops, forgot to update this post. I also used the 90 degree needle nose, and it works just fine. Car is running great, aside from the possible oil leak from the headgasket ;\Thanks for everyones help, it's a lot easier than it is made out to be.

Do not run the car, as oil impregnates the timing belt and causes stretching. The last thing you want is to jump timing and bend some valves. I just got done with a timing belt job due to oil soaking the tbelt. I would suspect the cam seals if you're lucky, and I would possibly look into the...

Mine is leaking pretty bad actually. Enough to get on the axle and all the way down the control arm. Unless of course it's yet another leak that I don't see.Let's just say I blew some seals, which soaked my tbelt, and I just got finished replacing the whole side. Start it up, and of...

Haha, thanks steve. Don't take my previous thread personally, I appreciate the help. Although I was waiting for them because had had spoken with them about it previously.Thanks, rivet0r

I just noticed oil running down the block from my knock sensor, is it shot?Kind of strange, any help would be great.

Thanks a lot for the help, I've been waiting for either you or BUCK to get online so I could PM you guys and ask you for help, perfect timing.Thanks to everyone else that added some input, I appreciate it.-rivet0r

Is that what it's supposed to do? If the tensioner is putting tension on the belt, are you sure the holes in the tensioner body and the tensioner rod are supposed to line up? After I pull the pin, I can stick it right back in if I want.. That doesn't sound right to me, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm in the middle of doing my tbelt job, but im kind of stuck. I got the belt on and everything lined up, and torqued the tensioner pulley until the pin in the auto tensioner moved freely, then tightened the bolt. I remove the pin, and it doesn't move, I can stick it back in if i wanted.I...

Okay, so right now the front of my motor is torn down ready to put on the timing belt. But my question is, should I be using some loctite on anything? Waterpump? Tensioners? Crank nut? And if so, what loctite should I use? The lowest I found at the local auto parts store was medium...

Anyways, I'm in the middle of doing a tbelt job on my car, and to make a long story short, after I removed the belt, the cams are off. When I try to put it back in time, it gets hard and once I let go it goes back to where it was. How can I get the cams to stay in place?Any help is greatly...

How do you apply the proper torque to the pulley with that method?

I'm doing a timing belt job on my car most likely tomorrow, and as I was reading through the vfaq on it, I came across this step :Loosen the tensioner pulley center bolt, attach special tool no. MD998752 (part # changed to MD998767, contact Miller Tool for this tool - 800-801-5420) and apply...

Just an update. I think I found the oil leak.. hopefully it's not coming from more than one place. I see oil dripping down from around the cam seal, and I spray it off with brake cleaner, and it starts dripping again. Very odd considering this is done on a cold motor that has no oil pressure...

I'll definitely have to get under the car today and remove the lower timing belt cover. As for a possible turbo seal, I don't understand how it could have blown, it's still boosting great, no smoke, etc. But there are litterally puddles of oil in my intake system, and I have no idea why.As...

The catchcan is no longer an issue, as I removed it and it's back in stock form. My concern is what seals I may have blown and what I should look for? I can't where it's coming from, it's not from the valve cover gasket or cam seals for sure. I was under the impression that the vent is for...

Let me start off by refering you to my thread I started when this all happened :http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138491Now a quick run-down.. I installed a catchcan, and to make it short I plugged the other end. So I pretty much just made a plug for the vent off the...

I ran an open dp for close to a year. It's loud and sometimes gets annoying, but the power gains are incredible. I didn't want to spend the ridiculous ammount of money that these vendors want for damn piping, so I made it free. If you have a passenger in the car, don't plan on having a...

Standard on a 1g, turbo :164psi standard. 121psi service limit.

You're telling me. The other week after I pulled my transmission for the 3rd time (don't ask), I couldn't get the damn passenger side axle in the damn tranny. I was litterally trying for close to 2 hours. Finally, I prayed to God that it would go in, and right after that, it popped right in...

That's exactly what I said after it had happened. I honestly don't know what the hell I was thinking when I capped it off, but apparently it seemed like a good idea at the time, sigh. It's worrying me now, because after it happened my car is dripping oil like crazy, underneath the car, and not...

As far as the oil out of the oilcap, is that excessive blow-by? Meaning a bad thing? Or is it normal?

A breather vent? It's got a little breather filter on the inside of the clear container, and it has two nipples. I had hooked up the top nipple to the breather hose from the valve cover, and I plugged the other nipple off. So basically I'm thinking that the excess crankcase pressure had no...

Well I got a new exhaust and an intake and I installed both of them. Drove it afterwards with no problems at all. After that I also installed a catchcan and it was fine as well. The next day I was on my way to class on the freeway and I noticed smoke coming from my exhaust when I revved it or...

I appreciate the help. What exactly do you mean by shimmed? I have a feeling I'm going to have to drop the tranny, again. Sounds fun :thumb:

I replaced it with a brand new OEM fork. As far as adjusting the master rod, I shouldn't need to considering it was fine before the stock clutch fork broke. All that I changed was the clutch fork, and that was with another OEM one. Although the new fork didn't look exactly like my stock one...

To make a long story short, I installed my act 2600 awhile ago, and it's been fine. The other day my clutch fork broke, so of course I tore it apart and replaced the fork. I get it all back together, bleed the clutch, and ends up being a ton of play in the pedal.Does this make any sense at...

My back hates me today.

Today as I was on my way home, my clutch pedal dropped to the floor, with somewhat of a "crunch" to it. I obviously pull over as my clutch pedal has no pressure whatsoever and won't return. First thing I check is the pedal assembly, but it wasn't that. Next, I looked under the car at the...

No, a 6bolt block is not difficult to "fit". There are a slight modifications needed to get a 6bolt running in your 2g. But as far as fitment goes, you just need to trim the motor mount to clear the waterpump assembly.There are a few other things needed, that I'm not going to list.. but...

Definitely have to be more specific than that. What color is this "fluid?" Does it smell like gas or oil?My guess would definitely be gasoline.

I don't think my car has had any major problems since I bought it over a year ago, and driven close to 20,000 miles. It's the way people treat their car that is unbelievable to me. People expect to abuse a 14 year old car and not have any problems.If the car is properly taken care of, I...

You're running lean. Your timing shouldn't be pulled so much.. be careful. How much knock did you log?

Sounds like your turbo went.

Mine also does the same. It's the starter motor.You would be surprised how many people have the same problem..http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19720&perpage=25&pagenumber=3

Would the low voltage cause my exhaust to puff? I'm not even sure where to begin. This happened all of a sudden, on my way back home from work.. it was fine until I noticed the voltage drop and won't go above 11.5v. Any clue as to why?

Title may sound strange, but as I was driving home, I noticed my voltage was only at 11.3v, and I rolled down my windows and my exhaust is puffing. My exhaust has "puffed" or "popped" ever since I changed my spark plug wires (and yes I tried putting the old ones back in, but it still did it, go...

Did I mention this was for 91 octane? ;/

You're about to be flamed. I just payed $2.57 a gallon the other week. :thumbdown

If you can't already tell, this will be my first rebuild.. :shhh:Gotta learn somehow.

So far the rust on the t-belt side has been surface rust. If there is rust on the bearing surfaces, am I able to scotch-pad the rust off?-rivet0r

I picked up a 6bolt longblock that has been sitting outside for close to a year, and unfortunetly it has been rained on. When i drained the "oil", water had poured out. My question is, is this motor even worth rebuilding? I'm afraid that the inside of the block and everything else is rusted...

Well I picked up some longer bolts from Ace's hardware, but I was wondering what grade is acceptable to hold the engine without problem. I picked up some grade 8 bolts..-rivet0r

That's what I figured.. thanks guys. Anyone know the thread size/count?-rivet0r

My guess would be the master/slave cylinders are shot. Check for leaks and take it from there.

I picked up a 6bolt for my 95 tsi (walked), and also an engine stand. I was wondering what the best place would be to bolt up to on the block? Also, what bolts should I use and where can I get some? I don't have any spare bolts or anything I can use, so I need to buy some either way.Any...

I would assume it is not grounded properly. My stock stereo does the same thing, as it is not bolted down and barely touching the frame, which is its ground.
