I don't like the term throttle body just because many people wouldn't think of it as part of the throttle

No confusion there with a diesel having no throttle

Didn't realise the paid section had gone..

PM me for import tax if needed.

Yep lol I'm think next one might not be a vw.......

Ah yes ok. Why unfortunately? Can be confusing as there's swirl flaps, flap valve in the rocker cover (some engines?) anti shudder valve and EGR valve all closely related/located...

Test the ccv by loosening the oil fill cap and seeing if there is rushing out of blowby gases. Also after turning engine off, remove oil cap while check if pressure is built up in there (cap "pops off") on my later engine there is a flap which closes the crankcase vent off from the intake ...

So that's the anti shudder valve?!

Wow wonder if they do eibach sport spring kits for b6 saloon?!

Good call if you can just solve it by wd40 on the electrical connector? If you cycle the ignition with the rear seat off maybe you'll hear better if its priming for 2 secs when key inserted...

Pump you mean? No it eventually stops the engine I think. They usually go noisy like a humming from the back seat.

I have them pirellis on the front as well. I like them, will likely replace the rears with those too, put the new ones on the front and move the fronts to the back.

Ok so changed the valve cover for another one but it's settled the same after a couple weeks so I'll put a new part on. New pn is 03g 103 469 aa apparently a few revisions later!

Don't s'pose anyone can check/ tell the vw price for that?

Cheers Dan

Yep sure can quite a few of us have bought bulbs from him

er.. nobody is using LED indicator/turn bulbs are they???

My method- look ahead and slow down when you see the patrol or camera... If you can't monitor the road well enough, then you're driving too fast and without due care. You would be lucky to get points compared to ploughing into someone/something... It's to force us to drive better...

No a flap inside restricts flow from crankcase into intake at high boost ie when there could be large depression. Changed the top cover and it's better, drives loads better and has smoked/stumbled on idle only a few times now. Will change the vacuum actuator when the new part comes, hopefully that w...

I think there's a flap in there to close off the crankcase from the inlet at engine shutdown. It's staying closed or blocked closed. Have a replacement cover ready. Will test for vacuum from the actuator and for leak in the diaphragm later and replace the cover I think. Depending what I find.

Pirelli cinturato p7 blue on front of my b6 sel saloon... Seems like they're gonna last a long time. I do 12k pa mostly motorway. 17" cost 220 for 2 fitted I think.

Any tips? There seems to be more and more valve covers with separators and whatnot inside them...

Yeah but....
A MILLENNIUM FALCON......!!!

I found I had tapatalk and tapatalk pro.. Except not both are on the App Store any more... Confused which one I now have, I've deleted one and seem to be able to be here so must have dropped the right one. Installed on my tablet the other day and it looked awful... Won't be using that unless I can s...

Maybe it's due a battery and plugs? And turbo could be sooty- perhaps run some turbo cleaner thru it and clean it up. N75 - try checking that the egr and turbo and any other vacuum diaphragms are not leaking as they all depend on good vacuum supply. What miles she got?


Tapatalk wtf?!

I saw someone in a kuga 2.0 diesel, complained to me about the low mpg... But they are ALWAYS in wrong gear and ALWAYS hold car on slipping clutch instead of handbrake lol... "No wonder" I thought to myself...


Tapatalk wtf?!

I always quite liked the fade out torque curve of the AVF pd130 engine. It looked like a massive spike at 1950rpm sloping downwards with a straight line towards 5krpm or whatever. That makes a good drive feel I think. Torque where you want it and not a gear change or several thousand revs away... Co...

Above is confirmed... The separator is built into the cover and is choked. Looks like I'll need to take it off to clean it thru unless anyone knows another trick?
