Golf IV R32 :: How To Undo Resonator Delete Mod
I am looking at buying a MKIV R32 and it's in great condition, almost completely stock, and less than 50k miles on it. Although It has the flapper mod, and resonator delete mod installed. I know how to undo the flapper mod, but I was wondering how I could undo the resonator mod.

View 7 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Loss Of Power - High Pressure Fuel Pump Went Out
My wife was driving our 08 B6 yesterday and suddenly had a loss of power. Check engine light was on. Took it to the dealer and we heard back today that the high pressure fuel pump had gone out. I had heard of the TDI's having this problem and I know BMW had to do a recall on the same issue. I didn't know that the 2.0 TSI had this problem.
I'm a little bit concerned 'cause we leased the car for 3 years and didn't have a single problem. I thought it was very solid so we decided to buy the car last month Now my confidence in the car is a little bit rattled.
The car is under warranty. I just hope that this is not the kind of thing that's going to go out every 20K miles! Out of warranty, this repair would have been costly.
Passat (B6) :: 2007 - 2.0t Placement Of Resonator
I have a question about the placement of the resonator. I have searched but I would just like confirmation due to the fact that I only found 1 thread with pics.
Following the tips, what is the correct order. I believe that it is tips, muffler, and then the large resonator. Meaning that the resonator is the closest to the engine. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but there is only 1 resonator in the b6 2.0t right.
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Oil Pressure Loss Suddenly?
Carb rebuild and tune-up on my 370 and took for a test run. All of a sudden oil pressure was lost. I know catastrophic happened but was conned into dropping oil pan and put in high volume oil pump. now at 2000 rpm I have enough oil pressure to keep rods and mains from rattling but lifters are collapsed. At idle oil pressure drops to zero. It is a mechanical oil gauge. I know the tune-up had nothing to do with it but I did drive the truck about an hour before. A machine shop said the only way he knows oil pressure can be lost like this is for a cam bearing to come out [catastrophic].

Had my trans rebuilt in August because of a lagging reverse and loss of shift pressure. Had it rebuilt and beefed up a little and I've had problems getting the trans to be like it was new and seven years ago. I had enough of my head gasket oil leak and loosing my job recently so I bought a trans pressure kit and hooked it up today, all I can say is I now have another problem to get corrected. I'll list my pressures and I took videos so I'll upload them to YouTube and link it that way.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2014 - EGR Delete - CEL On?
I have a 2014 ford F350. Was flood damaged, all fixed and running great except a couple of small problems.
Was trying to solve a mykey problem with volume being restricted to 49% and IDS said it had found new PCM and TCM software and should it update.
Me being a dork, (forgetting that the truck is not stock has EGR delete and other stuff that I'm not even sure of) said 'sure go ahead!!'
As soon as it was reflashed, it came up with errors
ENGINE IDLE SPEED
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION ERROR
REDUCED POWER
did some googling and it seems (possibly) that when the truck was modified, the PCM was reflashed. When I upgraded the PCM I screwed it up as it set it back to original factory settings.
Do I need to buy an SCT tuner? Is there any way in IDS to disable EGR (I have a clone and I cannot find it). Am I best to take it to a shop that know what they are doing and have the reprogram the PCM.
Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Turbo Is Out - EBPV Delete
While my turbo is out I decided to delete the EBPV. I removed the butterfly and rod, & pounded in some 3/4 inch freeze plugs. Are there any mods that need to be done to the pedestal, or can I just leave it the EBPV plunger unhooked? It's not leaking, but will it leak if left unhooked? Or do I have to gut it and tig weld the oil gallery's

on Friday i was down 2qts of oil so i topped it off and went for a 40-50 mile drive. as i got to my destination, i noticed the pressure going down from 190 to maybe 170? and when i took off from a stop light, i noticed that it just accelerated for awhile like the car was in neutral, then it caught the gears and continued on my way. when i got to the destination, i had some oil leak/tranny leak. not sure yet and also smoking in the engine bay like oil spilled on the exhaust manifold.

View 4 RepliesFord 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Fuel Bowel Drain Delete Or Plug Up?
My fuel bowel drain valve is leaking again. I plan to do the hutch mod in the next month or so. Have the kit already. So I can't do the fuel bowel delete yet. it seems one of the mount holes for the drain Valve is stripped. The top rh screw won't snug up. I swapped out the orings and it still leaks. I'm sure it's from that screw. So I'm thinking about a flange bolt and an oring from the inside of the fuel bowel. It's going to be a temporary fix.
View 2 RepliesFord 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: F350 - EBP Delete / Truck Won't Make More Than 3 PSI Of Boost
I bought a 99 f350 truck. it has a van turbo and exhaust back pressure delete. The truck wont make more than 3 PSI of boost. Ive got a p1690 wastegate actuator circuit code. unplugging the waste actuator does nothing. With the van turbo, is the actuator required? Is this code stopping the ecu from fueling and creating boost? I did a cylinder balance test, and cylinder 8 failed. Is a single injector not quite balanced enough to make it not boost past 3 psi? The turbo appears brand new (previous owner said it was), charge pipes hold pressure (tested), EBP Sensor tube is clean (shows up to 24 psi). I tested the wastegate actuator, OnDemand5 says if its over 50 ohms, its bad and replace it. its 69.5 ohms. Again, i dont want to replace it if i dont have to, as its not being used (no wastegate on van turbo), but if the ecu is preventing it from spooling because of the solenoid, ill change it.

I want to build a fuel bowl delete/regulated return fuel system for my 2000 f250 . I would like to make a really neat kit and attach all products used so people that want to build their own would have a useful source. I understand that it will probably cost the same but I want to design my own and route it the way I want . I have 3/8 1/2 5/16 and 1/4 stainless tubing as well as a bunch of unions and 90* 45* fittings and a couple tees. What size is the ports for the fuel lines that go into the four corners of the heads . I am a pipe fitter pipe welder by trade so this is basically a mini version of what I do everyday at work. Looking for some size details of the head port sizes so I can get the correct fittings?

I bought a 99 Suburban 4x4 with 205,000 miles for hunting, I recently took it to my property in the Texas Hill Country. The road to my property consists of dirt with large rocks, you are required to lock in 4 low and to the climb, on a very steep hill I reached about 3/4 of the way up when the suburban had no power, it idled but my foot was all the way down on the pedal and the tires would not turn or spin out, I backed down and tried going a little faster, same place it stopped moving and this time the oil pressure dropped and the check your gauges light came on, once again I backed it down. On a level surface it drives great but on a steep incline it develops this problem.
View 2 RepliesJeep - Grandcherokee :: Loss Of Oil Pressure
I have a problem with my jeep grand Cherokee Laredo 5.2v8 losing oil pressure when the engine reaches normal operating temperature. the jeep sat for 2 years but we got it to run. when normal engine temperature occurs, the engine drops oil pressure and stalls. I have changed fuel pump,oil pump and oil pan gasket. also ran a cleaner through the engine. it doesn't matter if its winter or summer. the only way I can keep it running is to keep my foot on the gas pedal. if I don't do this the jeep stalls. a mechanic said it was the bearings. I don't believe this because there is no knocking noise when the engine is running. it has 103663 miles on it. it has just city and highway miles on it. never has been off road.

I have a 99 VW Passat wagon with 140K miles. 4,000 miles ago, the oil pressure light was triggered and I had about $1200 worth of work on the engine (oil change replaced with syntec, replaced oil filter, washer, pump, restrictor, sealant, and gasket). Last week, the oil pressure light was blinking again so I took it back to the same service shop at our local dealership. They said that I need a new engine.

How will a muffler delete on stock exhaust sound? I don't want to remove the cat because I don't want it to be too loud. I want it to sound good but not too much whistle (considering my truck is a 2003 the whistle would be very loud) Should I just to a delete pipe on the stock exhaust, or do a cat-back 4 inch straight pipe? what will sound better? Also doing the cat back exhaust will cost a lot more.. but is it worth it? What I should do.

View 19 RepliesToyota - Tundra :: 2000 - Oil Pressure Loss
Okay, 2000 Tundra (185,000 miles) starts out with usual pressure. After driving a ways pressure drops down to dangerously low and stays there (not detectable when driving, other than gauge). Mechanics measure same pressure drop using alternate pressure gauge at engine. They assumed oil pump, which would mean pulling engine, but were advised bad oil pump is very unlikely on that Tundra (and I don't think the symptoms quite suggest that), and also advised that oil suction tube could be clogged, also necessitating pulling engine, but oil has been kept fairly clean. Car also sits for long periods.
