Subject: Re: w reg passat tdi 115 pd Author: Niner3d (It can't breath!) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:45:39 04/08/07 Sun In reply to: paul 's message, "w reg passat tdi 115 pd" on 11:03:24 07/25/06 Tue Try cleaning the carbon deposits (can sometimes be extremely restrictive) out of the intake manifold. The egr valve was a mistake in the tdi design and leads to horrible disgusting intake clooging problems from carbon build up. Youll have to remove the manifold and scrub it clean with a thin wire brush and a good pick in a kerosene bath. Cut the erg valve off (years 1996-1998) leaving a slight lip and run an extended rubber hose and plug the exhaust manifold with a custom made plate from the flange of the stainless exhaust tube. You'll get an engine light but no more carbon build up ever again. For 1999-2003 dieselgeek.com has a racing pipe to replace that ridiculous egr valve contraption. (niner3d@charter.net says so) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
