Ahhh Ive spent literally hours looking for a connector tube... The metal has blown out!!!! You saved my life!! I would have never in a million years found this out on my own. I have the exact same issue with the exhaust leaking! Thanks 10000000000000000 :D
haha Your video saved me from a shitty day as well... I was going crazy looking for some kinda pipe or fitting for the hole and nothing on google anywhere had the answer. It was just blown out. Crazy! You had the exact same problem as I did. I just ordered the part. Cool stuff!
What do you mean by exhaust leaking? I have some smoke coming out of the tail pipe on mine. I noticed that there is hole directly underneath the egr valve seems like a freeze plug could have been there. Also coolant over the top of the transmission
Such a great in depth video. You made me laugh a few times my friend. I have the same 18T engine in my Audi A3. I think I may have a problem with the dam EGR valve.
one of the most helpful video! I like the speed up comic effect. anyways this video helped me a lot, I have the same problem. PO411 It's so difficult to take off and put back on. Coz I was trying to do it without taking the coolant hose off. It didn't work. You did the right way. again thanks a lot.
+J Ma Thank you🍻 I'm glad it helped you. I try to show everything that happens when trying to do a job but a lot of people bitch about the length of the videos so I started speeding them up to 150% in order to show as much as possible in the shortest period of time. But like anything else people started bitching about "the chipmunk voice" saying the videos were unwatchable.
haha too funny. I enjoyed the chipmunk voice. It works well for me. I wonder if you remember when you screw the coolant flange back. did you use a new seal, or just old seal or old seal with sealant?
+J Ma I went through and watched the original footage and yes I just used the old seal. I also realized that I never put the video together of changing out the pcv valve and hoses, that job was a real nut puncher.
The combi valve is something you can actually by bass along with the rest of the secondary air vaccume system just look up the SAI delete kit on urotuning
Guillermo Andres Leyton Ensignia I'm contemplating running a sea foam treatment to diagnose my combi valve. My reading suggests it may just need one hell of a cleaning. Was this the case with your combi valve? (Waves from Colorado)
I’ll hold you to it🍻 I’m first generation American, my family is from Peru and NO I can’t speak Spanish (we’re in America we speak English) is what we were told. Anyways this summer I want to go see my family in Peru and then on to Chile 👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
The whole crank vent and rocker breather set is available on Amazon for £12 99 I brought the same plastic pipe originally from ECS at a cost of £ 59 99 and it's included in the breather set !!
You think this will solve my problem with coolent burning off in the exhaust. Oil is fresh coolent is fresh. No mixes of either or. Loosing coolent but i dont think its the headgasket. What your opinion
I have a similar problem, i have the check engine light, my secondairy air pump is so loud at the engine start, i think my EGR Valve is also broke... im not sure tho
These cars are a pain in the ass. The check engine light still comes on BUT if I disconnect the battery to reset the light it passes inspection without issue? When the light is on I can have it scanned at 5 different shops and get 5 different codes. If you only need to change the EGR value it's a fairly cheap and easy job.
+Bobby Munoz if the adapter was bad you'd know it. When the soft plug goes it's louder than hell and you'll have exhaust shooting straight towards your plastic master cylinder. In my experience, if you're getting intermittent exhaust in the cab it's more than likely coming from near the rear of the exhaust. Tailpipes are usually to blame, if they aren't shooting the exhaust past the rear bumper then the gasses get sucked back up, usually thru the trunk.
116falconer hello I have the same problem of exhaust odor I thought it was coming inside but I noticed that only the smell comes in when I open the windows I don't know if it's a problem with the EGR because a mechanic told me that the turbo gas burner was not working well but he didn't tell me where that piece was not what it was called
+Peter Fitzwell years ago they were my go to yard, they seemed to have everything at fair prices but in more recent times their inventory and prices weren't very good. I'll have to check them out again 👍👍
The brass plug on the egr blew out, which caused the exhaust to blow on the brake master cylinder. Prior to the blowout the car was lacking power, it's better now and the check engine light is off.
+Χαράλαμπος Καναλουπίτης the pump seemed to be operating fine but the egr base was clearly blown. I don’t have the 02 Jetta anymore, instead I have a low mileage 13 Jetta that’s also burning through parts.
Χαράλαμπος Καναλουπίτης This valve is the first to fail, causing the SAI pump to fail. This leads to problems with O2 sensors, problems with Catalytic converter, as well as misfires. On the 1.8t engine, the SAI pump is also of poor design. You can remove the bolts (rivets?) on the housing and replace them with your own as preventative maintenance, but once you can feel air blowing outside of the pump while it is running, it is recommended to replace the SAI pump. Best preventative maintenance for this issue in a problem-free 1.8t is a check/replacement of the"Combi valve"
would have thought unclamping the rad hose would cause all the coolant to rush out, if i can get away with not letting all the coolant out to aid me loosening the temp housing that would be a bonus.
I think if you were to leave the cap on the radiator reservoir and just remove the sensor your coolant loss would be minimum. I don't think I even used a quart to get mine topped off.
you know you're working on a ( VW )when you pause and say " SsSsSon of a B#$%@".. I DO IT EVERY TIME lol and now im actually having to do this . i have the same car .. small mods on it but man ... hope you see this maybe
