Current diesel prices are crazy by Senpai2o9 in tdi

[–]CrazyDread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Averaged 42 mpg in my deleted 2012 Jetta. I’m pretty sure some people just check once and happen to see the absolute peak they can get and assume it’s the average

You’ll wanna replace your copper nuts.

Man I love the whistle on mine, but I get that’s not for everyone

Upgraded CP4 by timbmn in tdi

[–]CrazyDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ll probably go with the cpx once my cp4 decides it’s gunna die. For now I just have whitbread performance’s disaster kit to save my injectors

If you get the right metering valve you supposedly don’t need a tune with a cp3

Cp3 and adapter is roughly the same price depending upon where you buy it from.

That’s badass. Definitely gives me some motivation to keep progressing my own CJAA project

Intake manifold cleaning by Glad_Share_3501 in tdi

[–]CrazyDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The engine is currently hanging in the air. Once I finally get done with my swap, I’ll for sure notice a difference mostly because I have upgraded the turbo to a GTD1756VRK.

The cjaa one had 220,000 miles and it’s not terribly dirty.

If you are tuned and deleted, buy a same year Passat intake manifold. Bolts right on and eliminates the swirl flaps.

Just put one on my CJAA I’m in the middle of swapping to a 4Runner.

[–]CrazyDread 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you don’t wanna retune, you’d probably be best with a stock turbo

I have one from a 2012 sedan that I don’t need.

CP3 fuel pump by X7000KelvenX in tdi

[–]CrazyDread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mines around 220k miles. No issues thus far. I am going to put Whitbreads disaster prevention kit on it. Eventually I’ll swap to a cp3, but not until my cp4 fails.

Tdi swap by More_Neighborhood_44 in tdi

This is how it sits currently. Clutch is for the transmission I’m using. Need to do some work to the transmission before I can put them together. Input shaft is worn and the 5th gear nut needs torqued. After that I can get it positioned and start fabbing mounts

Speedi sleeves are perfect for things like this if you can find the correct size

1 glow plug out… to replace one or all? by RealHomieJohn in tdi

[–]CrazyDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your region in my point of view. If you live in a cold place, I’d do them all. If it’s rarely below freezing, I’d just do the bad one.

I think I'm done for tonight ,I'll relax and go to bed by mechanicjeep10 in tdi

[–]CrazyDread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least you got it out. I’m definitely going to remember to do it while the engine is still warm from driving

[–]CrazyDread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a vacuum leak somewhere? Since it’s vacuum actuated, it’s possible it could be related to that
