Oxygen Sensor Delete?

Hello guys, so I am towards the end of my build. I have a polo 1.6 TDI which had a CLN engine (got the car without a engine). I have managed to get the 1.6 TDI CAY (engine, ECU, BCM, cluster, wiring loom, lock set). Even took the down pipe. The car starts and goes well however I have to clear the oxygen sensor and egr fault codes every time otherwise it will be in limb mode.

The problem is that there is no place to plug the oxygen and egr sensors on the wiring loom or anywhere. Getting oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor 1.

What will happen if I do a delete for the oxygen sensors on the ECU?

I know I’ll be able to delete the EGR

Thanx!

** Re-post** Grinding/Scraping sound from front center of car while going over bumps - 2012 Jetta TDI

Re-posting because I’m an idiot who made the last video a gif

Hi folks,

I recently did my struts, lower control arms and sway bar links on my Jetta (111,000 miles). I have tightened all bolts up to spec but ever since doing that job, I’ve been hearing this sound on bumpy (cobblestone) roads and also while going over bumps on regular pavement. Even though I did the drivers side first, and finished the passenger side on the following weekend, the sound started in the week after I did the drivers side. The sound also appears to come from the front center of the car.

I’m attaching a video that show what kind of sound this is. The first and the second (very faint) sound are at the 2-3 second mark and there is a third and loud sound at the 4 second mark. The car has had an alignment since the suspension job.

Any idea what this could be?

Thanks!

Looking for a new daily SUV.

I've been in the market for a new daily and I'd like to get and SUV preferably in the mid size range. I've pretty much rabbit holed down the Audi Q5/Q7 path. My question is should I be considering the BMW X5 ( which the wife likes the styling of more) or a couple Jaguar F-Paces have popped up in my area and price range. Just looking for a little feedback good or bad is welcome.

Never owned a diesel before but experience with other VW’s/Audi’s. Is this a good buy at $12,500?

Nothing wrong with it, the dealer is actually a guy I went to high school with that specializes in German vehicles. He recommended this when I came in looking for a Tiguan, citing the diesel will last longer and is a better bang for buck. Car drove fantastic though and was in top shape. Pic includes all the details, but he just got it in yesterday so no pictures yet that I can share of the car itself. It looks fantastic though no damage and a clean carfax.

14 vw Jsw tdi fueling issue

Hey guys new to this sub. So I've been having issues putting diesel in my car for a while now takes 20 minutes to put 4 gallons in my tank. When inspecting my fuel filler I can see a black thing lodged in the fuel filler neck, just wondering if anyone on this sub knows if this is supposed to be in there or is this the culprit?

Diesel additive (Injectors and Fuel system cleaner) for 2.0TDI Skoda Octavia MK3 RS 184HP

Hello,

I would like to hear your opinions and experiences with diesel additives. My Skoda has 150,000km on clock and often engine cranks longer than usual maybe 4 sec when starting cold. Battery is ok, I thought maybe injectors is dirty after all those kms and 10 years. Would using additive be useful? Thats my first diesel and I never used additives, I am afraid to damage something on engine.

A fun run

Any idea, what was wrong on this one? No faults, no warning lights, just started to knock without any warnings and lost power.

Towed in to a garage, mechanics made investigation and found out that camshaft was worn out.

2003 ALH/5 speed motor/transmission mounts

I'm looking to replace all my mounts. I've heard horror stories about endless vibrations after some people change them, so I'm curious which ones to get? OEM vs aftermarket.

2015 Passat TDI Coolant Temperature Drops Rapidly

So I'm driving my parents car today and after driving for 5 minutes the coolant temperature on the gauge raised to ~60-70C on the temp gauge, then the gauge immediately drops back down to the "zero" ~50C position and does not come back to reading above zero until I'm on the highway at 120km/h at about 10 minutes into the drive time and it takes forever to get up to operating temp and even long for the oil to hit operating temp. My mother was complaining about poor mileage which could be caused by an engine that doesn't warm up correctly. Can a bad thermostat be the cause, causing it to open to quickly and taking all the warm coolant out of the block? This does not happen in my 2013 Passat.

TDI shops in Denver

Does anyone know of any?? I need to take my JSW in for its 110k service. No more dealer servicing now, it’s time for a reputable independent.

2015 Jetta was run low on coolant

Girlfriend just got back from 2 hour trip and there told me it was smoking white, when I checked it out there was coolant dripping from the bottom and there was nothing in the reservoir. It had a cel on from overheating. Do you think there was damage done?

Help Request

Pre--Owned 2015vPassat TDI SEL

  • Deleted 2 months ago
  • 118k miles

The quote is from the local dealer. They seem to be the only resource in town to do all. I've received higher quotes due to no on-site equipment and/or resources for VWs.

Pay the dealer or keep researching?

The Dreaded DMF.

I’ve got a 2014 JSW and was curious about the dmf.

Only when it gets really bad do I need to replace it?

What were to happen if it broke/failed while driving?

Can it fail while driving? I know I only hear it in park and neutral

Are there any aftermarket DMF that are not known to give out so shortly?

Would it be good to replace the clutch while doing the DMF as it’s right there?

Thank you again!

Hmmmmmm.

Normally I have the middle line showing the outside temperature. Two days ago I shut the car off and noticed it changed right after lol. I have yet to find a way to change it back.

The buttons on the cluster work and can change clock, trip km amount etc. but can't changed the middle row back to temperature.

It is tuned Malone stage 2 but havent have any electrical problems.

Looking for a new daily driver.

Me and my wife think it's a good idea for me to get a car that gets good fuel economy (i drive 144 miles a day for work) and I'm thinking about a VW TDI. My question is what's the best years in the TDI's. Needs to be the most reliable, I dont care about power or fun factor. Just good MPG and reliable. No matter what it is I'll also be getting it with a manual transmission. I don't know a whole lot about the VW diesels so I figured yall will have some good personal experiences.
