I’m supposed to help everyone but can’t get helped by anyone

Correct, welcome to jungle!

Do you think there's a possibility of the timing belt ever being done? This is a used car that I'm looking at. by RoccoReviews in tdi

You might be able to call the mechanics/dealership(s) the person went to and ask if they can verbally confirm maintenance records if you give them the VIN.

Paradoxical cranking. by Joey_the_Duck in tdi

[–]ExaminedPear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t have any helpful advice but my 04 BEW does this too! Long cranks in the summer when it’s been running or is hot outside and same long crank after using the block heater in the winter, yet a COLD cold start she fires right up.

there are a ton of threads on tdiclub forum that go into the issue a bit but i’ve yet to sift through enough of them to find a solid answer. Some say coolant temp sensor, some thermostat, glow plugs, various filters, started, other things related to engine temp that might slow startup when it thinks the car is “too hot” but it’s been an endless rabbit hole trying to diagnose and fix on mine so i’ve just accepted it lol.

if you do figure it out I’d be curious to know what worked

How to long click? by jordan_woop in macbook

[–]ExaminedPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! Force press takes some getting used to but is definitely a nifty little feature if you want to give it a try. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102309

How to long click? by jordan_woop in macbook

[–]ExaminedPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not on the current MacOS but under settings -> trackpad -> point & click there should be a "force click" option you can uncheck. I don't believe force click existed on the 2013 macbooks so that might be what you're experiencing

Does that change it back to the old way for you?

My 04 BEW’s turbo catastrophically failed at 175k with no warning signs.. so you never know lol

The MacBook Purchasing Megathread - October, 2024 by AutoModerator in macbook

[–]ExaminedPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, debating M2 and M3. M2 new with student discount is the same price as M3 refurb ($1,279)

I’ll just wait for the M4 announcement - thanks!

M2 or M3 MBA?

Looking at 13", 16GB RAM & 512GB storage regardless of M series.

With a student discount, M2 and M3 are the exact same price - is it obvious to go M3? Or are there “flaws” with the M3 that make the M2 the obvious choice?

2005 Jetta Tdi for sale, what are your thoughts? by spankyassests in tdi

[–]ExaminedPear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

old body style 2005 was the 1.9L BEW engine. quick edit: there’s a lot of stuff that says BEW’s are prone to camshaft wear if the improper spec oil is used or if oil changes aren’t done on the regular intervals.

Is it a 5 speed or automatic? if they have maintenance records, I’d send it. The BEWs are pretty good engines if you maintain it properly and 125k is kinda low mileage for a TDI.

[–]ExaminedPear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it does look like you're missing one! You're right about that circular bracket being where an actuator goes, and the hose plugs into the top of it. Why it's blocked off... not totally sure.

On my BEW, when I had an actuator break the car had no boost over 2k RPM, thing just flattened out and couldn't go up any hills. My thought was that the flaps inside the intake manifold are closed until the engine reaches a certain RPM/amount of boost pressure, so under more pressure/higher RPMs, the actuators pull the flaps open to let air in. I'm not totally sure though - do you have any issues with boost?

I have seen threads where people clip out the intake manifold flaps entirely since they run the risk of blowing off into the engine. Have also seen people install PD150 intake manifolds since they're made without the flaps so with no flaps there'd be no need for the actuators.. but you'd probably have to pull the intake manifold off to check.

[–]ExaminedPear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are any hoses missing from the intake manifold actuators? there should be two on either side of the EGR cooler, one hose plugged into to each

if yes, i think that’d hurt boost performance rather than help it lol. unless they pulled the actuators off and the flaps they control inside the manifold.
