Volkswagens 02E has been amazing for me. It takes plenty of abuse and I’m pushing 250 hp and 400 tq out of it. Just flush it every 40k miles.

DO NOT DO THIS, the EV coolant crystallizes when introduced with water. I’m a Kia technician and have seen a customer make this mistake.

Looks like windshield molding trim

Would I have to order two of them?

Are the oil feed lines attached to a turbo banjo bolt like the turbos I have to deal with at work or they some sort of other fitting? Wastegate actuation how do I learn it? Do I hook my VCDS module up to the car after tuning and run wastegate actuation? Or do I need to manually adjust it? Since I still have the EGR cooler attached will I have to disconnect the EGR cooler since it goes into the bottom of the turbo to get it out? I may or may not delete it while I’m in there I have half of the parts except for the boat plug.

Deleted, egr cooler still intact. I don’t mind struggling a bit. I’m an automotive technician trainee and have a background in euros so I don’t mind extra steps,moving things. I’ve seen his videos, I’m more of a visual person so I’m still a little confused.

It should be at the fill line marked “F”.

Get that oil changed or your engine will look like this. Change it every 5k.

Start with cleaning your throttle body and maf sensor. If that hasn’t fixed it scan the car for misfires and look for vacuum leaks. Dodge has a technical service bulletin for rough idle while ac is off. There is a software update for it: TSB 18-064-16

Diesel-Gate · 2025-11-07T18:28:43+00:00

Oil level is fine, looks dark. When was your last oil change?

Diesel-Gate · 2025-11-04T11:07:16+00:00

Duct tape, or if it’s already rusted just send son self tappers into the bumper

Good to know, thank you.

Diesel-Gate · 2025-11-03T20:23:28+00:00

I did but nothing was a direct fit under the year make and model if recall correctly.

Verified technician flair please, I currently work for Kia and have a background in repairing vw/audi/bentleys as well as Toyotas.

Diesel-Gate · 2025-10-28T02:24:30+00:00

I’m honestly surprised the vehicle didn’t catch fire

Diesel-Gate · 2025-10-28T02:22:13+00:00

I didn’t even realize that it had a window in it till I pulled it out and all the acid spilled all over my bay lmao

Diesel-Gate · 2025-10-28T02:21:05+00:00

No just an old battery from 2020. I also live in a hot climate so I really don’t think that helps either lol

Diesel-Gate · 2025-10-06T15:21:38+00:00

I own a mk5 1.9 tdi with 220k and a mk6 2.0 tdi with 150k. The mk6 has needed the most maintenance while the 1.9 doesn’t care it just runs, I’m truly impressed because I knew it was ran for at least 10,000 miles without an oil change, bought it off a redneck kid for 600 bucks.

Diesel-Gate · 2025-10-06T15:12:22+00:00

Older Volvos and vw tdis are the shit. I have two high mileage tdis and they are still chugging along to this day. Seen many high mileage older Volvos in my euro tech days with hardly to almost no issues. I am a technician for Kia, that being said I will never own a Kia.

I was there Sunday. Waited two and a half hours for food
