noo. i took a video on my phone but the sound quality sucks. if i can find a nice camera ill get a clip. it only happens at like 1500-2500 rpms, and it almost is like a click that bounces around. I'm sorry but my description probably doesn't help.

i will get a video clip asap. no i didn't do anything but start it when this happend, and tomorrow i will probably spend all day on it. i will check the timing also

ok so the other day i was going to change my oil at my buddy's house and his friend was like "fire it up I want to hear" so i started it and it made a very unpleasant "clunk" noise. I was playing with the throttle and at like 1500-2500 rpms it makes a noise like a chain going over a metal table...

my apologies

I didn't know where else to put this so I'll do it here. I'm going to get some goodies today..6 bolt head ( finally have all my sensors and what not ), so when I get the 7 bolt head out, I will be trying to get rid of it. I'll keep posted.:)

ya i figured it was my headlight fluid (haha). im gunna run injector cleaner i just wanted to see if i pulled them if i could visually check

i dont seem to have fuel problems. it has been below zero here for a while so maybe that has something to do with it. it wants to idle funny like almost to a stall

my girl gets off to boost. just sayin..

how do i figure out if theyre clogged?

i just wanna know if that hood can even pop off the latch by itself

i have a new hero

ok sorry i havent been on but i took it down to the towns local "tuners shop" and figured he had something laying around i need. nope. he also wasn't sure if oil or coolant ran thru those lines..i couldn't answer that haha so he pointed me to a hydrolic shop in town. ill be heading there for...

so we had a big snow storm in western pa a few weeks ago (surprise) and after a night of messing around the local mall and not having any close calls..i do a three point turn and ever so softly tap a curb.. did more damage than i imagined.. i got home and relized my intercooler bracket was bent...

no more snow. i want my car to be white again

is your ebrake frozen? it could be the aux drum. they like to do that

alright. ill test it. but correct me if im wrong but would it pull more vacuum if i had a leak somewhere or does it make no difference?i know im making this harder than it has to be, i apologize

i had the same problem but my radio would turn off if i had too much stuff on. last place i checked was the terminals .. i could move the negative with my hand

see i thought so too it almost seems like i spool faster too. could be a figment of my imagination haha. but it does kinda jerk hard when i let off hard boost.. it did this when i got the car because the bov recirc hose was disconnected. and i checked all the hose clamps and couplers but theyre...

the intercooler is fine. its a little twisted but no fins are damaged and everything is back in place. the car itself doesnt run any different. i just wanted to know why i would be getting more vacuum and if it was bad. i lack knowledge about vacuum haha

im still getting full boost tho

ok so the other day i gently slid into a curb and bent my fmic bracket and pushed the coupler into the alternater..so after i pulled the bracket out and go everything straight ive been driving around and before this all happend i was getting about 18lbs of vaccum (thru the boost gauge) and now...

i never ignored the advice?..but alright

i believe ebay has a combo package, its a black housing headlight with a cheapo projector and the hid ballast bulb, ect. ive looked into it myself and i personally know someone that has hid's with the pop up function still in tact.

alright, thanks i figured that would be the case, i havent performed a leak test(its 20 degrees out) but since its black around the gasket its almost guaranteed thats where its coming from. thanks again

ok so ive read up on several boost leak problems but when i first started my car today, i got the urge to look over things under the hood. i see exhuast coming from the turbo area. it appears that its escaping at the jpipe? its black around the contact point ( probably a bad gasket ) but would...

okay thanks. i think ive got it figured out. i talked to the kid i bought it off of, he said that i dont need the dash tach to work correctly. so im just going to think of it as a luxury i dont have haha. but he said that the noise filter is bad? idk why he couldnt just say that in the first place

its the stock tach. idk what is going on with it. hes convinced theres no way around it. i dont even know the true benefits of having the 7 bolt head but im half tempted to buy a used 6bolt head or get one from dsm graveyard because its real frustrating.

ok so i got a 1990 tsi awd..the kid i bought it off of is supposedly a dsm 'guru'.my car has a 7bolt head( 6 bolt block ) my tach is hooked up to a noise sensor he put on the block? so after idle my needle either spazzes up and down or down to zero. he claimed the only way to get it to work is...
