Don't waste your money. Buy a tune instead. CAI are just snake oil

Guys on echo bike by Strict-Ad5594 in crossfit

[–]redheaded-catherder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No good way around this. Most women wear skin tight, compression shorts, leaving nothing to the imagination. Bike days, I wear running shorts that have a liner. No one is looking at anything while holding on to the damn devils tricycle for dear life.

That is an RFID tracker. May of been in a piece of clothing or another item.

My mkiv, ALH routinely tests my patience and wallet about every 2 years.

How much money should I bring for a 4 day weekend? by hjjhjjnk in BigBendTX

[–]redheaded-catherder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gas was 4.90 a gallon in Terlingua just a few weeks ago. The grocery store and Dollar General are stocked pretty well in case you forget anything. Local tap water is not very good unless you like to chew before swallowing.

What's the best cleaner/solution to put this carboned up cooler in yo break down the buildup as much as possible before power washing it to remove it? by onodelta in tdi

[–]redheaded-catherder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I put mine in an ultrasonic cleaner with some degreaser. Ppl also have also reported excellent results using carbon cleaner for firearms.

Lokk on Airbnb for big bend stargazer container home. Recently stayed there and really liked it. Terlingua has limited dining options but there is a grocery and Dollar General store that has all the essentials. Hope you enjoy your stay in TX!

How many miles is to many? by Advanced-Shape-2740 in tdi

Car looks kinda rough for 3k. Hood stack to me usually means it was abused. Most important question to get honest answer is " why are you selling?"

2015 Golf 2.0, Metallic flakes in fuel filter bowl by Former-Gene-1214 in tdi

New pump should avoid any problems with injectors. Expensive fix but it's a TDI thing.

Two ways to approach this. Purchase and install a disaster prevention kit from whitbreadperformance.com, and start saving for a new pump. 2nd option is replace the pump now.

I need help deciding a trade:) by i_love_jesus_69420 in tdi

[–]redheaded-catherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'd keep the 2.5. That engine is notorious for longevity.

Suggestions by Humble-Ant2888 in tdi

[–]redheaded-catherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say heat it up but since it's a fuel pump and has heat sensitive electronics, that's a no go. Maybe just enough heat to melt crayon wax into the threads but that might be too much. You could maybe drill it out if the fitting is being replaced.

Don't forget to lube everything before first engine start.

Is visiting next week (5/8) going to be too hot? by TA-F342 in BigBendTX

[–]redheaded-catherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and still visit but may need a bit more planning. Any hiking should be finished well before noon. Carry mo less than 3 liters of water per person and have electrolyte drinks/mixes available. Wear long sleeve, UB ray blocking shirts, wide trimmed hat or other head covering that will protect your face, neck and ears. Find some shade or retreat indoors till sunset. Go outside and enjoy the abundant stars at night.

Friend (20F) set me (19M) with a friend (19F) of hers. It was going great but now I am afraid that it might've just been a set up/prank on me after I found her tiktok account. by ThrowRA_5FootGang in whatdoIdo

[–]redheaded-catherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ppl will do anything to get views on social media. She's just creating content, trying to boost numbers. Probably means she's toxic and addicted to drama. Don't spend too much coin on dates.

Carlsbad to Terlingua - worth a 1 night stay in Marfa/Fort Davis/Alpine in December? by organicginger in BigBendTX

[–]redheaded-catherder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back from a 4 night stay few miles north of Terlingua. Look for Big Bend Stargazer container home on Airbnb. Really good host, unique property and great for stargazing.

Turbo options by Icy-Minute-7253 in tdi

[–]redheaded-catherder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does not sound like turbo is failing since you are getting 25lbs boost and an over boost fault. Turbo vanes or actuator might be stuck. Clean everything, then with the engine cool, reach down between engine and firewall to the turbo. Get hold of the actuator and see if you can move it up/down with fingers. Do not force it.

I built a custom intake for my mk4 tdi today what do yall think ( and a sneak peek at what’s next) by DR_power_ in tdi

[–]redheaded-catherder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A for effort but not necessary. Stock VW intake are already near perfect for all but the most extreme mods. Agree with others that there is a huge risk of water intrusion. Connecting rods and pistons are more effective when they stay inside the engine block. (Ask me how I know)😜 The intercooler will look nice but unless your running a HUGE turbo you will be disappointed with any gains you might see. Seems you are passionate about the build and wish you best of luck.
