it broke so that all of the thread is stuck in the frame. I guess we can try and drill it out. Or make the hole bigger, use a larger bolt and nut on top?
The front cross member that holds the motor mount decided that it would break off one of the 2 bolts holding it onto the front frame. It is now stuck part way up in the threads and doesn't want to come out... Can I run just 1 bolt instead of 2 on this piece?
It's hard to tell what is toast but he whole engine flexes enough that 2 things hit each other and make a clunk, so I parked the car till I can order some mounts
Got my friend to look at my car and it seems like one or all of the mounts are toast... I see kits selling the "inserts" do these ones just need the oem rubber scraped out?If anyone has any links as for what's recommended that would be appreciated. Looking for something lower in price too.
Just recently when I am driving and tap the gas and let off I hear a clunk sound, we tested it in the driveway and the engine is moving forward and back ALOT more than I think is good... sounds like it goes so far something is tapping on another piece and making the sound. Is this usually just...
The thing is it says im boosting 13 psi on the gauge but no power at all and I can hear it popping. I used to run 20 psi and it did the same thing so I lowered it.
On my 96 tsi awd I have a big 28 with 550 cc injectors and all supporting mods etc. I am tuned with safc. When I push on the gas a bit I can hear the turbo spooling and it shows its building boost but hardly moving at all for acceleration, if I floor it you can hear it sounding kind of like the...
I had a mbc that started leaking so I took it out and connected the line just as if the mbc wasnt there... It gets to only 13 psi max and nothing feels wrong. Is it ok to run it like this?Also I got my timing belt done and it has been running fine, but somtimes during idle it sounds like I...
I woulda done the alternator myself if it wasn't so coldI got the belt back on and tightened it back up, drove it around and it was good with no squeeling, then I drove it to work this morning and it came loose again!! Any suggestions? I was sure we tightened the 3 nuts properly and the slack...
Oh so it is for sure the same belt? That makes sense then. I had the alternator replaced a few weeks ago and the guy did the belt too, must have done a bad job..
No I was almost home when it happened. Does the alternator belt connected to the power steering belt in some way? I'm confused as to why the power steering went at the same time
So I was going around a corner and I hear a noise, then all the sudden no power steering. Drove it home and the belt that right besides the alternator belt is really lose (like 3 inches off the track)NOW the battery light is on for some reason? What does this mean? I just got a new...
How can I disable my alarm? Can I just pull the fuse on it?The problem is when I open the door about 5 percent of the time it sets off the alarm for some reason, and I have to take a wrench and take off the battery terminal to disable it
I solved all electrical issues by replacing the alternator :DNow onto the boost leak. The test it was coming out by the throttle body... Seems hard to fix
Seems to be leaking around the throttle body and some from boost controller area... Hard to pinpoint. I did a boost leak test.What should my battery voltage be with car running ?
First off when I am driving my stereo just turns off whenever theres a bass hit on the song, it never used to do this. Also my headlights will flicker and my dashboard will dim... What could be the reason for this? (I just got a brand new battery)Second when I press more than 50 percent...
No the turbosmart is not supposed to leak at all. I'm just wondering if it's safe to run the way I set it up, until I can get it fixed. This was purely the problem.
I did a boost leak test and most of it was coming out of my manual boost controller on the 2 sides. How can I fix this? It is a turbosmart bc.Also I took the mbc out and directly attached the lines with a tee. Is this safe to run it like this? It only hits 12-13 psi max like this.
the 2g tank is 60 liters and I will pull 500 kilometers out of it with spirited driving in the city. thats with 20 psi on a big t28 tuned with safc on 550s
Does anyone know how much using the a/c decreases fuel mileage? Right now with my awd tsi I'll get about 500km for 60 liters in the city. How much would this decrease using the a/c the whole tank?
SOme of my pipes do have the ribs on them. Here's the thing, sometimes I can floor it and it will pull to redline fine, other times theres a couple 'hiccups' during acceleration. Not sure if it's a boost leak or something else?
I have all hard pipes for my intercooler and I swapped all the connecters with sylicone couplers and tclamps. It was great for a few days, then sometimes when I punch it from 30-80 lets say, you can feel a couple 'surges' ( i don't know what to call it) then other times I can punch it and it's...
Could the rpm issue have to do with my battery connections? I was driving down the road and it would cut out every once in a while like the car died, then would instantly fire back up because the clutch is engaged. The stereo would also cut out too sometimes.Plus when I'm parking and turning...
