New 95 tsi awd

[Haytees]

Just got a 95 awd for 600 bucks...was running just needed a tie rod to drive.

front drivers fender is rolled and dented from the tire coming off, and it has some sunfade

power steering pump is bad and its running pretty rich hitting fuel cut at higher rpms

obd2 tested it and got 9 codes

p1103 waste gate actuator

p0136 heated o2 bank 1 sensor 2

p1500 alternator fr circuit or something

p1105 read only solenoid circuit

p0125 coolant temp always low

p0170 fuel trim bank

p0141 heater condition h02s12

p0443 evap purge/vent solenoid

p0403 egr system fault


okay and as for mods it has evo 3 exh mani and b16g, mbc set at 18lbs, greddy style bov capped of. 3inch turbo back straight pipe to muffler hard radiator hoses and a generic style intake + boost guage

cars runs solid and then starts hitting fuel cut in higher gears like 3rd/4th around 4-5000rpms

im looking up some of these codes and im getting mixed results.. like the wastegate one.. read some people get it because they hit fuel cut or some because the psi is over 16lbs

any tips in the direction i should try to go with getting these codes taken care of??

and was it a good buy for the car itself?

Cant help with codes or anything but it sounds like a good find! How the body of it besides that fender any rust issues or anything? I am picking up a 95 tsi this weekend and droppig a 6 bolt in it

 

[slickers111]

Most those codes are most likely from the modifications.
Stock fuel system on a 16g probably isnt the best idea.

Maintenance first.

 

[nismoz]

Start here because you know nothing about this car yet-->
Erase all codes with a scan tool not by removing the neg cable.
Unplug the boost controller(no need to get unhappy -
Plug back to the stock solenoid. U should be around 10psi.. If not mbc an set it there
Change the spark plugs!!!! Gap them correctly

Drive 20 miles if running ok and then see what codes you get.maybe none
Go from there...
You mentioned nothing about a 255 pump? Got one. 18psi 16g is pushing your luck,that fuel cut maybe leaning out...
16psi on a 14b is getting close to a stock systems limit.
No mention of tuning for 18psi from that 16g either? Is it or no safc or nothing?

Good price btw

front drivers fender is rolled and dented from the tire coming off, and it has some sunfade

power steering pump is bad and its running pretty rich hitting fuel cut at higher rpms

obd2 tested it and got 9 codes

p1103 waste gate actuator Possible code due to overboost past solenoid

p0136 heated o2 bank 1 sensor 2 Rear o2 sensor malfunction. Check circuit or replace o2

p1500 alternator fr circuit or something Check Generator relay next to Boost contol solenoid

p1105 read only solenoid circuit Fuel pressure solenoid might be disconnected or eliminated

p0125 coolant temp always low Check CTS sensor on thermostat housing

p0170 fuel trim bank Fuel cut possible triggered, reset codes and try again.

p0141 heater condition h02s12 Again Rear o2, test it for resistance or if wires are damaged.

p0443 evap purge/vent solenoid Evap solenoid disconnected or vacuums deleted etc.

p0403 egr system fault Egr solenoid disconnected or vacuum deleted

and was it a good buy for the car itself?

The 3 solenoids on the firewall, are they eliminated ? You can connect the sensors to them if present and loop the vacuum lines if deleting emissions
The rear 02 can be tested and/or replaced. Lower the boost, if you have no tuning fuel management. Fix some of the issues and delete codes with scanner and drive until all moitors are complete usually around 80 miles and go from there. Hope this helps

Still a nice find for around here if been lookin for months for a steal.

theres alot of sunfade and a little spot of surface rust on the quarter panel not bad at all really but the drivers fender is pretty dented and the front bumper and rear is cracked a bit but nothing too horrible strut towers look pretty good

it wasnt hitting fuel cut until it sat for a couple months thats the thing

well i changed the plugsto some ngk at .028 getting like twice the fuel milage i was getting

im waiting for my bluetooth adaptor to come in so i can mess with the codes

once my adaptor comes in im going to start messing with it, been driving fine hardly boosting and when i do get on it, its fassstt until i get to about 4.5-5kish
its doing it noticebly less with the new plugs though, ran some bad gas outta it and its doing a lil better

Still a nice find for around here if been lookin for months for a steal.

yeah i got it from moline just a week or two ago =p

 

[nismoz]

Jus remember when gaping plugs if you get to small it will idle like shyt dont think its a problem with something else.
Also you said bad gas..... Fill that b***h with 93 an maybe a lil av fuel if you got an airport nearby..
Do you have a wideband? Is it tuned with anything?

 

[clipto]

$600 just cost u $3000 in parts when could bought runnning car. >.< Well u got work to do there tons info research the codes on dsmtuners and get it back to running. Hopefully u save some pocket money for gas when its all done. ;P the life of a racecar.

no wideband yet i have a afpr and guage im gonna throw on and try to get some tuning form my buddy and i filled her up with 92, and not trying to go get av fuel i got em gapped right because it was idling funny before i changed them out also like it would warm up and idle 1000-1500 now its sitting at about 900 steady

i think you missunderstood the posstt.. 3000 in parts? i paid 600 for the car and 8 dollars for a tie rod and drove it home

 

[clipto]

Start with these things then.. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/ecmlink-tuning-log-file-advice/443297-please-read-before-you-ask-ecmlink-dsmlink-log-advice.html Not that you have ecmlink but those things are just general stuff in the first place. Now depending what you wanna do with the car just drive it or mod it there is a few things like a real wideband and other miscellaneous stuff that need to be fixed. Other wise if if it's all stock then there should really be no issues unless it was all hacked up when you bought it and your in for a head ache. Best of wishes man I just seen alot of dms go for cheap and people run into issues like wtf did I just get. Remember u pay for what u get but its more or less fixable with some time and money. ;P money money money MONAY! I just don't wanna make sure u bandaid all the stuff with a tune but none the less a tune will help. Go over general maintenance and from also sounding maybe the egr system is removed to an exstent.

 

[nismoz]

no wideband yet i have a afpr and guage im gonna throw on and try to get some tuning form my buddy afpr isnt goin to help if injcs are stock, an your buddy cant tune if theres nothing to tune with...safc/dsmlink or something of that nature.

Exactly, not 3grand where that come from..

Just wait yall will spend $3,000 in your dsm eventually. What happens when buy hacked up dsms. I wish people shop smarter with cars, not saying $600 wasnt a good deal I just yet to see someone come clean out of a rat nest without breaking some of there piggy bank. Just a fyi heads up thing. Just speaking some that hard dsm truth the fact people post here means they need help and they got some work in front of them to do if they dont know about em.

 

[Haytees]

well ijust bought everything for a boost leak tester, 15ft of vac hose new boost guage hose and a little radiator hose

the cars not really all that hacked up like i think i may have over exaggerated abit or something... but i dont plan to do anything to crazy with it.. just wanna get a better fuel system fmicand some tuning software + guages and call her gooooood

 

[zcox122]

Post some pics of this find

 

[Haytees]

checkk out the pics tell me what you think??besides the drivers fender and roof its not in too bad of shape

 

[zcox122]

Dirty engine bay!!! But all kidding aside how's the bottom of the strut towers look inside the wheel wells? They mostly get the rust cancer before the top does because of all thus horrible salt here. It looks good though if you ever need help or parts just pm me.

 

[Haytees]

hopefully it warms up here in the next few days just got my boost leak tester made and i wanna replace that skimpy boost gauge plastic hose but i dont even want to go walk to the car let alone sit out there for a bit

 

[buhay6]

Thats a steal of a deal!

 

[luisgil]

Definitley a great buy. Good job.

 

[WES_393]

Check the build date, it's on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb. If the car was built before 11/94 then it's an "Early 95" model which came with a few goodies like Viscous LSD, larger/vented rear brakes, and EPROM ECU (perfect for DSMLink).

Also, Clipto's advice is pretty accurate. The DSM mod bug is very contagious. Most of us started out with a few mild plans yet ended up with filthy race cars.

Congrats on the purchase and welcome!

Nobody else noticed or brought up the fact he is venting to atmosphere, and also has what looks like two tees off the bov line?

It sounds like you're hitting fuel cut as stated previously. An easy fix is running wastegate pressure for now until you can afford the right mods.

Does the car ever die or almost die when you get on it and then let off? That's from the bov not being plumbed back into the intake. You should also only have a single line going from the intake manifold to the bov, you will have to buy more hose and find another vac source for whatever is tee'd into it.

Ill look at the pics again and see if anything else jumps out.

yeah I was wondering about that tee, likeIsaidIknowforafactbefore it sat it wasn't cutting so maybe there's a bigger pump but my vac lines corrodedfrom the cold
