Thanks! I was able to do this without removing the actuator from the car, which was wonderful. I used a hook to grab the lever and pull it toward the front of the car while I used a screwdriver to push the dieselgeek part from left to right into place. It’s a T30 screw. Loosen the part on the mount to let it swing to the left when installing at first. I lost the spring but I called Dieselgeek which told me the spring doesn’t do anything so I left it out.
Hi, great video, was really sweating taking out the entire module. Was able to wedge up that linkage part with a couple of screwdrivers and with the use of a tie wrap as a third hand, was able to get the job done only taking out the one bolt.
so far, yours is the only vid showing this fix without taking out the whole motor. I think I have the re-tooled version of the bracket(just purchased this year), but dangit if this doesn't appeal to me. gonna try it your way, see how it goes. thanks for the video!
Currently waiting on this part to arrive as my Jetta just threw this code after the last winter storm and due to financial issues due to recently having 2nd child I am truly hoping this will fix the issue as I cant afford anything else. Will have to come back in one weeks time to give an update
How did you get it to move up more towards the front I tried turning my car on and it didn't move I can't get my ratchet in to unscrew the last bolt to take the whole thing out and I can't move the lever to fit the part in.
Just installed on my audi 2011 a3, the check engine light was on and off, then got stuck on, once installed the check engine light is still on, will give it a little but if time but should the check engine light go off immediately once installed or?
I have a 2011 a3, it is still under dieselgate warranty. And I have p2015, not sure if I should do this fix or drop it at dealer for a few weeks to get oe fix.
