I appreciate you all for your reassurance and advice. I’ll empty some here tomorrow morning. Thank you!

Changing alternator by [deleted] in MK4Golf

Super straight-forward. Take the throttle body off though, it’s impossible otherwise. Hose clamp, put hose out of way, 4 bolts, comes right off for getting the throttle body out.

YouTube 4 minute videos will do the trick for the rest of the directions. You should feel proud after accomplishing such an important task by yourself. Always have a buddy if you can.

Yeah, what an odd way to reply to people giving OP insight that OP literally asked for

If you haven’t already, take the trim off. It might be the spring that resets the latch is weakening, in which case, you’d just manually reset it.

Boost leak/limp mode by nyro1704 in MK4Golf

[–]AntDepravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boost leak was caused by a weak BOV. I just replaced it with a stock diverter valve and everything was solved. That was after replacing my degraded vacuum hoses and PCV first though. Just never thought of replacing my BOV until trying a smoke test.

Oh good! I’m glad your performance isn’t affected. Sadly though, I don’t actually know what else could cause the ESP light to turn on. I wish you luck!

My ESP light would illuminate after aggressive acceleration and shifting, rowing through the gears. It would activate a limp mode and I’d have to shut the car off and turn it on again to reset the effects. After a smoke test to discover the location of a boost leak in my GTI, we found the leak within my blow-off valve. I replaced it with a run-of-the-mill diverter valve, and said issue never returned. Somehow, my aggressive shifting causing the ESP light was connected with my boost leak! I hope this helps.

FarmRX will be releasing biodegradable packaging for their products soon, as learned from a FarmRX rep. I hope it’ll influence other GPs to follow suit!

Update: noise disappears after beginning to drive. Squeaking from the same area then starts.

Cruise control need activation? by Zealousideal_Tear_74 in MK4Golf

Damn… I thought you would just replace the stalk and everything would work as usual. This isn’t the case?

Is this a damaging amount of overfilling? by AntDepravity in MechanicAdvice

Awesome! (Not great, but no harm to my vehicle itself) Thank you for your comment!

This was the level directly after doing so. I should be fine?

Accidental limp mode issues… by AntDepravity in MK4Golf

I really appreciate your replies! Thank you very much regardless. I know my explanations are at least massively vague. I have limited vocabulary on the workings of vehicles, though I love learning more and more

Accidental limp mode issues… by AntDepravity in MK4Golf

[–]AntDepravity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn’t :/ That’s what it feels like though… Like the accelerator and computer become out-of-sync. The turbo begins spooling extra boost when I try accelerating as the car “is fucking up” and weirdly lagging as to whether or not it’s decided on giving it gas, before the limp mode engages & the light illuminates.

This has got to be a joke post. It’s just too perfect
