I'm so lost and have no one to ask. Facebook, for the last month, has been little to no help. I've asked friends, different groups, strangers, etc. I'm getting no where. I'm about to pay someone to overhaul my site but not sure what to look out for or who to trust. I know I get what I pay for...

Hey guys, I've got a problem and a probable solution. I bought this car with a bad motor and swapped it in. It now runs.I've got a cel light and numbers: 13, 14, 21, 25Car idles "normal" but there's black smoke. I've swapped the maf, fixed the wires going to the cts. The maf wires are fubar...

So I basically have been working on this turd for a few days on and off. It has spark(after a new Ign Mod), it has compression and fuel to the rail but the injectors aren't firing. None of them. I checked all 4 with a noid light and none of them are firing. I found that the #1 injector has a bad...

So I picked up a tsi awd for fairly cheap and the retard put an MLS head gasket on the car with a new head but didn't bother to clean the old gasket off the block. So thinking the 30,0,0,60 issue was due to rings, I bought a set and decided even though the bottom end is probably fine i'll do...

So, a local guy dooped me into buying a nt front case(surprise)... Well he obviously isn't answering after I figured out the problem. Can I use this non turbo front case with my originally turbo car?

So basically, I lived in an apartment complex in a good neigborhood and my 94 TSI AWD with a bad motor and cough 85k miles cough got vandalized. Slashed tires, broken 'anything plastic/flimsy', so I stored it at my father in laws for the last 6 months while I bought tires and put a motor...

So i've been out of the DSM game for a while, considering coming back... and as i'm thinking about this, i'm realizing this is a really dumb post. Anyway, I've been in the Audi scene lately and curious about what I've missed. I'm considering dropping forged internals in a project 94 tsi awd, 85k...

So my main relay isn't turning off when the key is out. I'm getting power to pins: 7(4.5v), 10(12v) and 3(4.5v) Something doesn't seem right. I've tried two different main relays and it still happening. It's bad enough to drain my battery QUICKLY. I have the factory service manual for a 92...

So I bought this car a while back. 92 tsi awd With the battery connected the turn signals illuminate on the dash. They don't blink but stay green. I've checked the relay and it's fine. The flashers work accordingly.

So I bought a car with a shit motor(an entirely different story). Bring it home and rebuild it. Install the motor and start it up. Little did I know I was getting 3 CEL's 13, 31, 21. Maf, knock sensor and Coolant temp wires(I think). All fixable. BUT, when I started it and as it ran for a few...

So I just picked up a 93 TSI AWD with a 6 bolt. It was converted from Auto to 5 speed a few years back. Guy also did a tuck job. Didn't look like he did that bad of a job but it didn't concern me much until now. I bought it not running. It cranks and cranks and cranks but wont fire. The guy said...

Looked through about 40 different threads on the same issue and this one is easy but I just don't want to start throwing money/effort at this car. Car runs great. It boosts fine, runs strong and feels awesome.....after you start driving. It's random, sometimes it will stay running and other...

So basically I bought a 90 tsi thats pretty much stock. It needed a catback since the downpipe rusted off. I had a stock catback in the backyard so I threw it on.Now, the car runs like a non turbo. I wont boost at all and runs pretty sluggish... is the muffler clogged?? This morning I had to...

Found this over on my Audi forums. Applies to everyone though. Evo III anyone? I also stopped and verified that this was the actual white house website.http://www.quattroworld.com/blog/sig...awesome-audis/Registration & signing both petitions took less than 3mins.Regards,H. Kurt...

I've read a lot of threads about people actually putting the timing plate behind the crank pulley on backwards. I never read which way was actually CORRECT just that they flipped it over and all was good.Which direction does it go? Does it angle towards the block or angle away from the block??

Ok fella's, I dunno if i'm spoiled because all of my automotive websites are ALMOST instantly responsed to, but I'm looking to figure out my iphone issue. Basically every 2 minutes, it doesn't have service then has full bars, then decreases to no service. It's seriously left me stranded for...

So i've been pretty active in the DSM scene for almost 10 years now. I've been so fed up with them since the last year that I was on the look for a new platform. I traded a 98 Eagle Talon TSI fwd auto that I bought for 500 bucks for an 00 Grand Cherokee. I was bored with that pretty quickly...

So here I am, I live with my two brothers in a 3/1. It's a pretty small house. Well I'm the 2nd oldest in the house. My younger brother has the smallest room and my older brother the largest.Well he had his g/f move in with him. Then they got a nicer house to live in and moved out. Well Once...

So I sold a giftcard online, I had a family emergency and wasn't able to send it out, I asked someone close to me to send it out while I was away and they forgot. As soon as I got back, I see that it hasn't been shipped out so without even blinking, I head straight to the post office and send...

I already torqued my rod and main bearings into their respective places at factory torque. I'm curious, can I unbolt everything and then retorque each bearing exactly where it came from? Ooorr, do I need to get new bearings?

Ok fellas, i've been dealing with dsm's all effin weekend. I have a 98 tsi with a 1g 7 bolt. I JUST did a head gasket on it a few days ago. I finished it up this morning, drove it, parked it and tried starting it up tonight and all it does is crank. Here's what i've done: new plugs rewired...

This is the only one that looks like this the rest have shavings in them.

I have a block that had a bearing spin inside of it due to a bad oil pump.Is it ok to reuse something like this?

Guy is willing to trade a 92 3000gt vr4 with a top end issue and a bent frame, for my 98 talon TSI fwd Auto with a fmic and a 16g.Cars been put back together but doesn't line up. My buddies also got a same year make model and color 3kgt frame for me to transfer everything onto.What do yall...

So hypothetically, if my super afc were stolen or something and I needed to get to work tomorrow, how would I reconnect the wires at the snipped end to bypass it temporarily?

So I have a 94 talon tsi awd and i've been struggling with keeping a solid motor in this car for almost a year, i'm on my 5th motor. It's got a 6 bolt with a Forward facing oil filter with only the gauge sending unit. The motors just been put together by me and everything was installed without...

So I know the cam gears aren't perfect. They're close but with a real straight edge they never line up precisely. They're off just a smidge. Now i've always timed my cars where the inside tick marks are above my straight edge. Should the middle marks be a little below my straight edge or a...

I know this is retarded but I just picked up my 4th dsm tonight. Its a 91 GSX that needs a lot of work BUT its a clean title and its straight. Not to mention my 93 tsi awd, 94 tsi awd and my 98 tsi fwd. All of them need work. One, i'm in the middle of head gasket change, the other has knock...

So I lived in state 1, had a license for a few years, then moved to state 2 and got another license. After receiving a license in state 2, I got a few tickets in state 1 on vacation. Since I didn't live in state 1 anymore, and being VERY immature, I didn't pay them. The tickets in state 1 would...

So I know this is somewhat of a ridiculous question but in everyone's opinion, whats the best field out there for me?I love DSM's, I taught myself how to build/fix laptops, desktops, tv's, ipods, etc... I also grew up a gear head. I'm 25 and have a VERY on/off, 0/1 mind. Its either right or...

So I just got my car back up and running. Weeelll, I've got a strange issue.I leave my battery connected over night and its completely dead in the morning. No lights, no nothing.I disconnect my battery over night and reconnect and it starts fine.I take the car to Advance and have...

So I'm baffled. Heres how it goes. I put a motor together with a freshly polished crank from a reputable shop and spun a bearing. I pulled the head off pulled all the rods and pistons, installed a 'machine shop verified' GOOD set of rods/pistons and new bearings and buttoned her back up. I put...

So here we are, my first Auto. When I come to a stop it takes forever to start going again. t takes about 5-6 seconds before I can drive normally. The kicker? It shifts through all the gears... So it's not in limp mode... I checked the TCU codes just to be sure... Nothing.The car, a 94 TSI...

This is an example of what I need to identify.

So I dont even know where to start...This is by far the worst year I have ever and probably will ever have. I havn't heard anyone with this sort of luck(which I bring on myself). Usually its one big disaster like a hurricane, tornado but this is shit fest 2010. Not looking for sympathy just...

So there I was, on the shitter, I was looking at a JE piston ad in the new Modified Mag. I was thinking, why can't we design the piston to not contact the valves if the belt breaks? I would buy a solid set in a heartbeat. Is this possible or am I R tarded?

Ok, So I threw this motor together and now i'm second guessing myself. I started the car once already and the #1 rod spun the bearing immediately. I have fresh bearings going in but before I button up the oil pan, I need to verify I installed the rods correctly. I'm freaking out since this...

Ok guys so I bought a 93 TSI AWD and after about 3000 miles I started hearing a slight ticking. It eventually blossomed into to some really radical rod knock. The original 200k 7 bolt had enough. I drove it until it died one evening.I had a fresh 6 bolt almost finished. After the disaster...

So I have only checked the shaft play on the turbo, nothing else. I'm buying the car and havn't had a chance to get it home yet. Heres my issue:Driving normally and once you get into boost it only boosts to 3-5 psi. No weird noises. The previous owner got rid of the boost controller and ran...

So about 5 years ago, I bought my galant in pieces, pieced the interior back together, bought a used built engine in good shape, had my head resurfaced and 3g lifters, all stock for the most part and went at it. It took me about 5 broke ass years buying parts when I could, COUNTLESS tows to each...

Ok so i'm driving my galant for the first time after rebuilding it. I'm trying to get it home from my old apartment.I start it up, drive to the gas station, put about 3 gallons in it. Start her up again and take off. So my fans also are not hooked up right but the radiator keeps her cool...

I'm trying to figure out if this was flashed, fixed, etc...

So here we go... 1720/2000, GVR4Built motor with good compression stock everything else.I've fixed all the hack job ecu work. reconnected all the wires where they should be. No CEL's Verified pump works by connecting it 100% to the battery.(even during starting and such) I've fixed...

This is on a Galant Vr4 No idea where it goes. Nothing missing on the ecu harness. As far as I can see...

Ok, i'm using this picture to see that one black wire is sheilded and one black wire is not. I have the shielded black wire sitting next to my ecu cut by the previous owner. I need to know where on the ecu this wire is supposed to be connected to.

I'm selling a my old Assistant manager a 300CF oxy bottle for welding. How much do they go for?? It's out of date, so it needs recertified.Btw, I dont really like him...:hellyeah:

1990 Eagle Talon TSI AWDWTF

So I know that my results point to a little bit of both, valve seals and rings but I wanted to get every bodies consensus.Left to right, dry/wet92/112 94/104 100/115 60/75I can understand the rings being "tired" but with what they're supposed to be... would it be safe to say that new...

Ok guys,Doubt any of you know. I bought two cars for the price of a 6 pack. The 92 was hit in the rear end and the 91 had a wrecked valve situation. So i'm combining the two to make a single good car.The wiring and everything in the 92 is untouched. Pristine. The boost control solenoid...

Ok fella's, have about 800 to spend. I know this is probably all over the web but these are deals like right now...Quick backround. I spent 2 hours at best buy determined to buy a tv. Little did I know that my lady found a coupon online for 12% which pretty much takes care of taxes. I walked...
