RobSinclair Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 For the last few years I suffered through a problem with my Jetta TDI. Whenever it was under heavy load like accelerating up a steep hill or towing a trailer the turbo would shut off. I always said once I had a garage I would tear it apart and figure it out. I got the garage in January and finally got around to my turbo yesterday. Thanks to RobMcC and a new variable vane actuator I have my turbo back! Jenny the Jetta has her mojo! Ill post some garage porn pics in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekmac Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I was bored, so I put a Plasti Dip strip on the hood. I only had about half a can left, so I was kind of limited on how much I could do. I also finished up my box to keep some stuff in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yesterday I had a left tailpipe put on. I have custom dual exhaust. We had ripped it off at 2010(?) Fox run and I had jury rigged it after that for inspection but it was mostly off. At that time we had also drove the exhaust sideways into the gas tank and made a hole (which has a BOTTOM skid plate), which ended our run for the day, and we also pretzeled the tie rod. We trailered it home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SQRLPWR Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 actually, I was out today on highway 2 up towards Enfield and some of those twisty 80km/h roads are scary with the backend bouncing around!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Finally found the clank coming from the front end; it's been driving me nuts for weeks! Loose front sway bar end link; couple turns and fixed! And before you post 97 cherokee...(based on your sig), I know in your mind I'm a lesser man for keeping the front one, but I do tow shi+ ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
