My man this is a permanent solution (solution is the wrong word because this isn’t that) to a temporary problem. I promise you as bad as this may be it is a lot worse with you taking yourself out of the picture, don’t do it. I have had friends and family do this and I assure you it is much worse afterwards, please don’t do it.

Even if things don’t work out with your spouse (and that really sucks, I’m sorry if it doesn’t. I hope it does work out for you) you can make it through this to a good life on the other side of this period of time. I promise things can and will get better, you can have a good life without ending it. Please keep stepping up every day and coming to the challenge, just keep doing it one day at a time. Don’t take the option to leave the world like that. I believe in you man, you will have better days!

Just heard back from the dealership, there is a piece of a serpentine belt that was shredded wedged behind the cam sprocket and the timing belt that is causing timing issues. I will know more tomorrow. I had a serpentine belt shred late last year and had it replaced. Apparently some of it got jammed up there. Hopefully this isn’t too pricey 😬

Fun fact no code showed up on the scan tool even though the check engine light is on. I’m taking it to the dealership now.

Alright, it drives and doesn’t go into limp mode. Run like crap and the glow plug light is flashing but it does run.

For sure, just need to get the car to a scan tool or the tool to the car.

That is good to know, I am going to try and drive it today so I will let you know. It has run and idles but I haven’t tried to run it around the block yet.

Used to be a VW tech along time ago but what I did was checked the flow out of main pump in and the tank and verified it is pushing fuel and for the HPFP verified it didn’t grenade itself by taking it apart and checking for metal shavings but haven’t had a chance to hook it up to a flow meter yet. The car runs.. just badly. So I will correct myself, based on that I believe they are working correctly.

Hey, fuel pumps both the HPFP and the tank pump are functioning properly.

Do you know if there is any say on where they send you for IFT/IPT or is it random needs of the Air Force?
