I myself installed the BFI stage 2 motor and trans and dogbone insert, thanks to the help in this post
Again the shop wouldn’t recommend anything for this problem that has persisted after all those mount and insert upgrades I just mentioned ——— he said it’s normal movement regardless (even...
And this is a serious question. Is anyone on these forums in Massachusetts that would know how to diagnose/fix my car? Because my VW shop just told me on a test drive that it’s normal for my car to violently jolt back and forth like a waterbed when letting off the gas in gear, and rock back and...
One thing I noticed for throttle related, when coasting in neutral, if I try to rev, there’s no response, so I try again and again and on the 3rd or 4th rev there is response
That makes more sense than anything I’ve heard today. I guess I might Just put that in and keep the stock arm that connects from the subframe to the trans/engine case.
If the power flex hybrid doesn’t do it, then what? This one below...
Back at this again after a long winter. Last summer, I installed a BFI insert in the dogbone insert though and that didn’t fix it. Along with the engine and trans mounts. Still issues. How much different is the BFI dogbone insert stage 2 than the powerflex? The power flex just looks like a...
Might as well try bleeding my clutch and brakes on the same day then. It’s literally as easy as pressurizing at the fluid reservoir inlet with excess brake fluid and bleeding via a single nut for the clutch and 4 nuts for the brakes with the goal of removing air from the system? That sounds like...
Ya they are a VW only shop.. Could they have messed up the throw out bearing when putting in the new trans? Maybe they could’ve leaked hydraulic fluid of the clutch system when doing the trans swap?
They did a beautiful job getting the upgraded clutch in it. Then I brought the Car in with the...
Unplugging and replugging the TPS didn’t have any effect on it driving wise. Haven’t seen any codes since clearing it and the wires look fine from the TPS. Connections are also fine on the pipe that’s below the TB.
I guess my throttle response these days has been fine, ever since I tried the TB...
Just cleared codes. Gonna test drive (it’s my daily driver) to see if codes come back and see how it drives. I’ll take a better look at the wiring in a parking garage tomorrow - it’s raining nonstop
Found these codes:
P0638/3BEE Throttle Actuator control bank 1 range/performance
P0638/3BF2 Throttle Actuator control bank 1 range/performance
Thanks for the reminder to check my codes. idk why I never saw these before, somehow this is the first time I’m seeing these
This is before trying...
I don’t really know how to check for boost leaks or boost pressure problems, I’ll be honest
Wait wait wait, can you detail how to find the TPS and exactly which clamps these are that you’re talking about?
Ya ya this a legit question, I appreciate you mentioning that. I think maybe the root cause could be the trans that was swapped in. Not sure exactly then there’s anything I can do or what I would further trouble shoot. The shop would say I’m outside the warranty period. I tried explaining to...
