ok well i think i figured it out...someone switched my overflow line with the line that runs into the bottle so it would leak coolent out around the edge of the bottle then suck in air from the bottle instead of the coolant. so i switched the lines back to where they should be now i just have to...

i dont have air in the system ive burped it everytime i fill it up and it pushs the air out like normal so that rules out head gasket and my plugs are normal color. i did notice bubbles coming out of the line that right as it connects to the overflow bottle so im going to replace that line. the...

Ok ive got a 98 tsi and im having a problem with the cooling system. my car overheats every few days if i dont fill it with coolant. the problem is that it overflows into the overflow bottle when it gets hot but when it cools it wont suck it back into the radiator. i changed the rad. cap and...

thanks ill give it a try!!

My car seems to be over heating just a bit right now and i dont think its my water pump because it doesnt do it at idle. and my over flow bottle keeps filling up. i thought it was my t-stat so i replaced it and it fixed the problem for a little bit but then started again. any ideas? Bad t-stat...

Ive got a 98 Talon TSI with Evo 3 turbo thats made for a 1g. im looking to buy a fmic since its a 1g turbo do i need to get a 1g intercooler? will it fit right? or do i need to get a 2g intercooler then do a custom pipe for it to fit the j-pipe?

Im trying to find out if a 1g oil pan is the same size and everything of a 2g or if there is another car that i can get one off of. one of my oil return line bolts is stripped out so i was just going to pick one up from a junk yard but im not quite sure if i can only get one off a 2g turbo or not.

i already rebuilt it got bearings everything is fine but it needs to be balanced!! none of this is helping right now haha so if you know of a place that i CAN get it balanced let me kno

Need to get a turbo balanced and cant find a place to do it...really need hel pif anone knows of a place let me kno!

no it didnt solve anything because his blades were shot and sucked all the pieces up and destroyed his rings...so now he needs those and a new turbo atleast

yes i bought a rebuild kit with all new seals and bearings but the guy that i got them from sent me the wrong bearings so i had to get some made from a machine shop. i took them the turbo and had them make the bearings. and the reason i didnt order another set of bearings was because the right...

i would but i would rather try and fix it by myself just for more experience on turbos and there isnt a shop near me that specializes in turbo rebuilds or anything anyway. :(

Ok i just put in a rebuilt 16g turbo on my car that i built myself and had a machine shop make the bushings (bearings). when i got it back it had very minimal shaft play(back and forth not in and out). i put it in and there are no leaks. but my problem is that it howls pretty loud at about 1lb...

Ok so my problem is that my oil light will come on and flash on n off as i drive. i checked the oil and its a little low but not enough to cause the problem i dont think. the light will come on as a drive and flicker then when i come to a stop half the time it will turn off or it will stay...

if your wastegate is stuck open/shut you will be either gettin ALOT of boost or NO boost at all. When i first got my Tsi it would sputter like that after about 4k rpm when i would hit about 6lbs of boost...all i had to do was replace the plugs and wires and i was fine. but if you say you...

i would go with ported evo headers! i went that way and i havent been let down yet by the. but if not that the definatily go with FP the are very reliable when it comes to dsm parts

i made my 91 talon look fine with a fmic. all u need to do it a test and tun e basically with ## fmic... put ## fmic on and c how close ## bumper fits if it don fit well take it off and cutt a little off wherever its rubbing then try it again ect ect...till u find out what works best for u...

thatblondechik is right cam seals and feed lines are easy fix's those would be my first two guess' as well

yea its a bad ground. clean your terminals on the battery and the connections on the wires if that doesnt work then get new cables

i had the same problem on mine 98Tsi. i replaced the egr (make sure all of the lines are hooked up right also coming from the egr), O2 sensors, cat, and fuel regulator before it ran right. turns out it was the fuel regulator that was bad and i changed everything else for no reason haha if you...

I wouldn go past 14lbs of boost after that u need to get a fuel pump and get a wiring kit for it to raise the volts goin to the pump...it wont go past 12v and u would need it to get 15v to properly get enough fuel through
