    Replaced clutch & flywheel and now clutch wont disengage, please help!

    I'm having the same problem as you. Replaced a leaking slave cylinder, adjusted clutch pedal and bled the system several times with no luck. After researching the problem, I have come to the conclusion that my clutch fork is bent or the ball it rides on is worn out, most likely both, not...

    Alternator Help

    Get your battery tested. Sounds like it is not holding a charge. Our cars don't respond well to running off just the altenator. Check you battery voltage on your datalogger when the key is on and when the car is started. You should see about 12v with the key on and 13.8v when running. I run...

    Suspension and cooling issues

    Have you tried a 180 degree thermostat. I had the same problem with the 195 thermostat and it fixed my problems with the FMIC blocking airflow. My temps were at 206 and they dropped to 179.

    Cam alingment with crank

    I'm now at the put it back to gether stage, but was wondering if I could be one tooth off on the exhaust cam as now I'm pulling 20" of vacuum at idle and the throttle seems a little sluggish now too. I put the exhaust cam one tooth clockwise vs the intake cam as per the instuctions and thought...

    Cam alingment with crank

    I'm in the process of pulling the balance shafts right now and will reset everything before I put the new belt in. When the crank pully notch aligns with the arrow that is Top Dead Center correct?

    Our cars made for women?

    I like my car, sometimes my car don't like me. I guess if someone rode me hard and put me away wet, I would be mad too. So does that make it a girl car?

    fuel trims

    Weather must be nice everyone is gone? Anyways, you are running rich with low fuel trims, you need to lean out the mixture a small amount at a time. It takes quite awhile of driving for the ecu to make any fuel trim changes. That is what I have run into with my 90 TSI anyways. Low FT is...

    Cam alingment with crank

    I said in the above post that I pulled the belt away from the intake cam gear and the cam "moved" a few teeth off. How do I check the alignment/timing from the crankshaft to the cams? I know how to align the cam gears together, and the crank and oil gears together, but just wanted to make sure...

    Cam alingment with crank

    Long story short. Blew the balance shaft belt and did not loose the timing belt. Lucky meOMG Car was running great when I shut it off, no ticking or bad idle and so on. I have all the covers off and am inspecting the belt, guess i was pulling on it and it was stretched out enough that I...

    ECU chip question

    I run the ostrich emulator and I like it alot. Chip burning on the fly. I use a Maft to fine tune, but I don't like it. Personally I would buy an SAFC next time and use a 2G Maf. www.moates.net can hook you up with the emulator. Nice company to deal with.

    carbon fiber hood weight vs stock

    I have a 2880 pound daily driver without a carbon fiber hood. Yeah, if I get in a wreck i'm screwed with no bumpers, but it sure is fun have a light ass AWD.
