Golf/GTI VI :: Turbo Sounds Much Meaner / Significant Increase In Throttle Response

I just installed the BSH turbo inlet pipe as well as the Neuspeed P-Flo intake.

Install was pretty simple, the only things that gave me trouble were those stupid clamps on the inlet of the turbo and on the maf, just because they are a pain in to get off ..but anyway im very impressed with it so far. It looks great and high quality. It sounds amazing! Not too loud that it gets annoying, but still gives that p hhhhh sssss sound that everyone loves.. The turbo sounds much meaner and there seems to be a significant increase in throttle response. At first i didnt really notice much power gains, but after driving it for about two days, i've noticed that my top end is a lot better and it pulls alot harder on the freeway and in 6th gear.

I also installed the forge diverter valve yesterday and like everyone says, its not much louder than with the stock diverter but it did gave the intake more of a flutter sound.

Passat (B5) :: Turbo Sounded Pretty Loud And Made Whoosh When Throttle Released

Ok first of all i know this sounds really stupid. I got curious of the intake system and I unbolted the tube that does down to the (turbo i think) anyways I figured it was the intake for the engine. Anyways I went for a quick little drive, and it was not the intake for the engine it was the for the turbo. The turbo sounded pretty loud and made a whoosh when the throttle was released. Cool. 2 min later the car shut off i started it back up drove home, and put every back the way it was suppose to be! and there is a check engine light. My question is... How do I reset the light myself instead of the dealer doing it, I thought i remembered how to do it somehow without anything. Btw was doing that anyway harmful?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 - Loud Backfire - Replaced Chain Guide Still Rattling - Only 3 Cylinders Working?

So, I was driving down the road one day at like 50mph or so and had the loudest backfire I've ever heard. As I was putting my car on the dolly to tow home I heard a bunch of rattling and thought maybe it was a rod bearing or something. I pulled the oil pan and found chunks of my upper chain guide (rod bearings were fine).

I replaced the chain guide and checked the timing hoping it would fix the problem, but it didn't. The rattling was gone but I was only running on 3 cylinders. Did a compression check and had 0 compression in Cyl5 and about 60-70 in Cyl2. I don't remember exactly what the compression was for the other cylinders since it was a while ago.

Started thinking it was bent valves, so I just recently pulled the head off to check them. They all looked like they were seating properly and none looked bent from what I could tell. I'm about to try to put some compressed air through it to see if the valves are leaking anywhere. the plugs, wires, and coilpack are all functioning properly.

Golf/GTI VII :: Rough Idles And Stalls Out / Bank 1 And 4 Misfiring

My gti with 5k miles will be in the dealership 3weeks on Monday! No one has been able to diagnose the problem! I called VW corporate and they told me that the dealer was working with their tech support and engineers.

The problem is has really rough idle were it stalls out. Bank 1 and Bank 4 are misfiring. This is the part were they are stuck. Once they remove the oil cap the car runs perfect! It stops all misfires and idles perfect. They've ran smoke test, compression test, vacuum test. Replaced pcv, high flow fuel pump, intake manifold.

Cherokee :: 1998 Jeep Started Shaking When Engine Started - Backfire

My '98 4.0 has 213k on it and the other day I started the engine and the jeep started shaking like crazy. Eventually the engine quit and refused to turn over so I looked under the hood and quickly discovered the problem, a deteriorated rubber elbow on the left manifold. The elbow connects to a threaded breather type valve in the manifold and has a thin piece of black plastic routing to the purge solenoid next to the left fender/air box.

When I removed the rubber elbow from the manifold the engine eventually turned over and idled fine, I then headed to autozone and found replacements of the same diameter, I cut them down a bit to match the length of the originals. Since its been a while I changed the plugs and wires, coil pack along with cap and rotor while I was at it. I replaced one plug and wire at a time to ensure I didn't mix things up, same goes for the cap. Now the jeep seems to take a few more seconds to get started but once it does it idles fine.

Now when I hit the gas hard the jeep will hesitate and then backfire. If I'm smooth on the gas the jeep drives good, whether city or highway. When coming to a stop the jeep will sometimes buck slightly like it wants to cut but doesn't. The backfire sounds like its coming from the air box and oddly enough, my aftermarket radio no longer plays in the accessory position, probably a separate issue. So far there's been no check engine light.

I really need to keep this jeep for a few more months and I would hate to put big money into at this stage.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 VR6 Engine Idles Sometimes At 600 Rpm But Drops And Nearly Stalls After Revving

I have an '01 gti glx that I just swapped a motor into. I got the motor out of an '01 jetta glx, exact match AFP engine code.

I get cylinder 2 misfires mostly (high number) but I also get 5 and 6 intermittently as well as a P0300 code.

Sometimes I also need to hold the gas down just to get it to start even after the crank sensor.

The engine idles sometimes at 600 rpm but drops and nearly stalls after revving at all.

What I've tried so far:

working cam sensor from my old vr

brand new crank sensor

brand ned wires/plugs

new fuel filter

swapped injectors of misfiring cylinders from old motor

lined up the timing 3 times now and its still perfect

I know the coil pack works because it was on my old motor, which ran fine, just leaked oil.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 GLS Idles Around 1000 RPMs When Started

So lately my 2000 Jetta GLS hasn't been running that smooth I can tell when I'm changing gearing and when I start the car and the car idles around 1000 RPMs. I think it may be the engine miss firing because some times I can feel the car shaking but I have no check engine light. Lucky... Also the coolant is leaking idk what the exact problem is but everywhere I go there is a puddle of coolant under my car.

Golf/GTI VI :: Loud Turbo Whoosh Noise - Boost Leak?

2012 TDI ... OK so out of nowhere, my car is making loud turbo whoosh noise, while I love the way it sounds, it's not normal or intentional, so I don't like it lol. I have an AWE intake, and a gutted turbo resonance damper. Is been fine and same sound ever since those mods but now out of nowhere it is really loud with the whooshing of the turbo.

Small video of it... [URL] ....

Pictures of turbo area .....

Anything look wrong? I circled that one area but wouldn't know if that's normal or not....

Golf/GTI VI :: 2010 TDI Started To Misfire When Going Easy On Throttle

My 2010 Sportwagen TDI has recently started to misfire. This only seems to happen when I'm going easy on the throttle. It also seems to happen after about 10 seconds after I've come to a stop and began moving again. It only appears to misfire once, then it goes away for a couple of minutes, then it sometimes returns. I haven't been able to track it to a specific RPM, speed, or gear, but it does seem to be more frequent around 1600-2000 RPM and about 30 mph. It feels more pronounced in the lower gears, but this is probably due to the gear ratio effect. There are no engine lights. I have not taken it in for a dealer scan. It has 32,000 miles, I always use name-brand diesel along with Diesel Kleen at every fuel up.

Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Loud Backfire While Down Shifting

OK about 3 months ago I bought my first vw, a 99 Passat 1.8t. Car was great. Only problem at the time was a loud backfire while down shifting no clue on y either. Let me say this is my first turboed car too. Anyway after about 2-3 days my cel came on. I threw my scanner on it and got evap leak. I filled her up right after that and smelled real bad gas. Found a screw hole in the trunk patched it cleared the code an she ran great again. Well for a few days now after every fill up I have to keep my foot on the throttle or it stalls out. Keep getting same code. Also when I go to jump on it it'll like studdar an hesitate before going. No more gas smell either. The kid I bought her from did some work an I'm getting 15lbs of boost but at times will jump to 17-18 lbs. I have no problem doing the work to get just need some guidance on what to do. I've been told change charcoal canister, fuel filter charcoal canister purge valve, I guess there's 2 cause I was told to change both. I love this car, this is the best and my favorite car I've ever had. J wanna get her all nice and healthy.

Yesterday and again today from initial takeoff i noticed a whistling sound from about 20 mph up to about 40 mph.and it seemed to increase as i applied throttle. Is there some kind of vacuum to do with the choke maybe causing it?

I didnt notice the whistle after car was operating temp.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: No Throttle - Car Will Start But No Increase In RPMs With Pedal Input

2002 Elantra auto trans issue.

We are experiencing NO throttle after the car sits over night. But Not every time. When I write "NO throttle" the car will start but will not increase rpms with pedal input/movement. Runs at idle only. After a few minutes, it picks up the pedal input and is fine until is sits over night, sometimes.

I have changed out the TPS and no change. The car has just over 80000 miles and otherwise runs like a champ. There is no check engine light or any stored codes. The cable rotates freely at the TB. I read in the forums that the TPS replacements can be suspect.

Chevrolet - Camaro :: Loud Backfire And Loss Of Power

I own a 1988 Camaro Iroc-Z with a 5.7 350 TPI motor. I was driving the car onto I-95 at a speed of 65 when I heard a loud boom under my car, and pulled over to see what had happened. I couldn't see what happened, so I drove the car slowly to a friends garage to find the exhaust pipe from the converter back to the muffler had split and blew apart. I took my car to another shop to repair the pipe, but when I left the shop after the repair, I accellerated to about 40 mile per hour, I get another loud backfire and loss of power. The pipe is still intact, but I cannot figure out what is causing the backfire. My friend from the first garage says it is a failing fuel pump. I never heard of such a thing to be honest.I am at a loss and I have to correct the issue soon, as this is my only car to drive.

Golf IV R32 :: Rattling / Chattering Noise - Throttle Started Making Awful Squealing

My R has 56k on it. it sat for just over a year and a half and i just got it back on the road a week ago. Two days ago i started it to pull it on my rack and change the oil and it was making a rattling/chattering noise. The noise was going away when i pushed the clutch in but not anymore and the noise goes away in the higher rpm's. on the way home it threw a code and the check engine light came on and with throttle it started making an awful squealing noise. I am kinda scared to drive it.... I guess ill start pulling the motor, transmission or both tomorrow...
