The Quran is too.

It's Tiptronic, 5 speed auto. Id have preferred the manual, but I cant complain. You couldn't flat tow it regardless because of AWD.

RLENT or Unclebob.

The oil change alone cost $80. I'm gonna need about tree fiddy.

This was the day I brought it home. Quite a variety of vehicles at my house.

2001 allroad, twin turbo 2.7 liter 30 valve V6, Quattro, Tiptronic, leather. 155k. Original price with options = $47k. I paid $20. It didn't run. A $20 engine speed sensor, repairing a wire splice, and tightening a grounding post fixed it. I've put about 1500 miles on it. It runs great...

There you go.

You are incorrect. I never use washers.

Not yet. We are slammed.

It's called a flow dampener. Congrats, youre the first person to have one fail. That ive heard of, anyway. You can try to clean them out. If that doesnt work...idk if theyre available separate or not. They may suggest a whole new rail. If so, I can hook you up. One off of an isuzu npr will...

This is true. For a developed country, our diesel is dirty straight from the refinery, and aging infrastructure allows water to contaminate it. The extra refining steps will make the price rise, just like we saw when steps were taken to remove sulfur. It's a catch-22.

Part of the reason I posted this is because a forum member stopped by my house, and we pulled his intercooler out, cleaned out the radiator fins, spent a good hour straightening fins on the radiator (previous owner powerwashed it and basically ruined it), disassembled and cleaned out an egr...

As a mechanic that doesn't drive trucks unless he absolutely has to, I sometimes wonder why some trucks show up at my shop needing repairs that are really pretty simple. Granted, what I consider simple might be completely skewed, but still. I'm mostly referring to class 6 and up vehicles, but...

I sure do like actual answers. They're the best! I can't wait to hear about your first driving impressions when this hits the road again.

I accidentally a word. Its next to the power steering pump's bottom bolt.

It comes out of the transmission side. And there are several next to it. Right next to bottom power steering pump bolt is.

That has a Bosch P7100 pump on it, right? Well, that makes this deal a lot easier because there's a few easy things you can do to that pump to add power.

So I've been theorizing a bit. Generally speaking, the best BSFC numbers are present right before peak torque on these engines. This is based on various graphs I've looked at. It'd be nice to find the one specifically for this calibration though. BSFC tapers off past the torque peak, first...

This is the high points of troubleshooting code P2030, burner abnormality. What I just talked about covers around 80% of scenarios. Things get weird when the mantle in the combustion chamber breaks, when the DPF slides out of its casing and crashes into the oxidation catalyst, when the turbo...

Ok. So the DPF heating is done via a burner. It's the big combustion chamber in front of the DPF. In the front of it are an atomizer nozzle, two spark plugs (igniters), and a flame temp sensor. Above the nozzle and igniters is a big braided tube, which provides air for combustion. There are...
