The car is now back on the road just one problem the shudder in 1st gear is still there although it is reduced.....so I'm now at a loss to understand whats going on.........

Had to pull the gearbox.....the plastic web holding the balls in place on the main shaft bearing had broke alloying the shaft to move about.....resulting in the car vibrating in 1st and 2nd gear. Anyway the box is now rebuilt with a new main bearing and new synchro rings on 2nd gear as it was gettin...

Solid flywheel and paddle clutch fitted......the car now revs out freely and picks up quicker out on the road.....just one problem the 1st gear shake at clutch bite is now worse and also now affecting 2nd gear and reverse. During fitting I noticed a small amount of grease at the back of the gearbox ...

Yes duty cycle of the EGR can be adjusted using Vag-com....did it years ago on my TDI golf, however just removed the complete egr on my passat and fitted an allard straight through pipe. Just one problem the ecu has thrown a CEL which will be removed when the car is remapped next week. The real diff...

Have a look at my thread in the newbie section......soon be hitting 230+hp.....after that different injectors required to max out the turbo and an uprated cam will be fitted.....currently hope to hit 240+ when all work is complete after that a custom turbo install will be required....possibly a gtb2...

Haven't been on in a while, however I've now got the Ferriday thermal gasket fitted to the intake and the clutch will be fitted tomorrow if all goes to plan.....then at last the car will be remapped......

Sorted.....throttle pedal sensor..

Going smf with the aim of about 230hp and 350lbs ft with present set up then a set of uprated injectors will be fitted and a cam if I can get one ground from a blank....so ultimately hoping for 250hp and 380lbs ft......regards the clutch doesn't really worry me as I've a heavily tuned 2001 ALH VP37 ...

More goodies this time from Kerma TDI arrived which should resolve my boost leak problems....

This weeks piece of homework has arrived....

The cars a late 2006 1.9TDI SE with the following faults: 00550-032 Start of injection regulation 00551-224 Cat temperature too high The glow plug light comes on and the car will drop into limp mode..... Based on my experience of the older TDI and PD cars I would have thought it might be a temp. sen...

I like the look of your car with the monoblocks.....been considering them for my wagon but even the reps are hard to get at present at a decent price.....

Bit of an update on the passat....been fitting a fmic.... This pic gives an idea of the size of the fmic http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww100/leon10tagg/SNV33743a.jpg The straps supplied with the kit to hold it in place were useless so I made my own and welded them to the crash bar... http://i70...

Yes 1/4's planned just to see what it can do, as I'm working on a 1999 golf for the quarters....a bit lighter but still a tdi...

Where you at?

It's reasonably nippy at present even though its a bit of a heavy weight :???: . Torque Tronix's in Kells NI will be doing the mapping on his hub dyno pack. With all the inlet and outlet mods I would like 220+hp 350+lbs ft.....but lets wait and see what the dyno says and I'll post up the print out :...
