Try again all right folks. It's the next day. And we're still on on this volkswagen golf last video. We did an inspection on this car.
Four tires put on we found a couple oil leaks found a bad battery and the fuel filter needed to be replaced. We left off at the beginning stages of the valve cover removal. I had to pull the egr valve off of the intake manifold and found loads and loads of carbon caked on on the inside of the valve. We're going to go ahead and finish.
Removing all the carbon deposits that we found and then get this valve cover removed. So stay tuned. This is going to be a really good video oh look at all that that i'm surprised this thing even worked at all that's wild hey i've got to clean that out that's terrible here let's go to work on this valve next here i'd like to make this easier to clean up there oh that is so bad okay so this is the valve right here yeah. This is the valve.
It's actuated. It opens and goes that way opens up and that allows i think egr passing get this out of here nasty. That's probably good better than it was i know that foreign shiny beautiful even better after you wipe it look at that all right let's just set our newly cleaned valve over there and that can uh if you stay there until we need you what we're interested in is these scratches inside of this intake are from me trying to scrape away the carbon all right loud noises let's clean this out we covered that part in the last video. But it looked really bad and i wanted to offer explanations and we need you what we're interested.
In is there they are those two bolts right down. There you see them there's one there's the other one all right let's see if i can get a wobbly on them. I think i can foreign loose. I can't seem to get that bolt out so i want to see if they remain in the cover or not sometimes they do yes.
This is one of those times. Okay thank you so far so good. I'm curious about this timing cover. I wonder.
If i have to remove this first before the valve cover comes becomes great. I guess we'll see foreign reverse click. That was nice. I think there's one more me too all right let's pull these fuel rails back some those are out of the way dude pry bar.
Again let's try pry driver. Okay i see this cover over here does come off. But it's uh very simple clip on operation good can't reach. Though we gotta pull this intake tube off and way down.
There is the other clip for this cover. I can't see it. But i can feel it very nice all right all right tell me here okay all right all right here. Wow.
It appears i have underestimated volkswagen they have rather large and dirty injection units. I mean i'm impressed look at that what we have here is an injection unit that is electronically operated. Yet the high pressure is supplied via the camshaft and this rocker arm as the camshaft rotates. It depresses.
This side of this rocker pushing down this plunger and that's what creates the pressure in the doo doo doo doo chamber that's what creates the pressure for the injector to spray and atomize. The diesel it appears that this pump is just a low pressure uh volume pump. It's just designed to move the fuel and the fuel runs into the head ends up at the injectors. The cam runs cam pushes down pressurizes the fuel solenoid opens up sprays the fuel into the cylinder boom explosion. We have made power and the intake and the exhaust valves are run over here off the cam. Actually the camshaft is here it appears that these are just rocker shafts for the injectors so down there that littler guy. That's actually the cam back in there because we see here we've got an intake or an exhaust. An intake and an exhaust talking about these lobes right here another one there and another one there.
I like it all right let's go ahead and wipe off all this oil that way when we put the new cover for the cover with the new seal back on nice and clean oh and we do need to add a little bit of silicone on these end caps right here. I don't see any that might be the reason that it's leaking so heavily over here on this corner. There's no sealant between the two metal parts. There nice and shiny yeah.
There's a little gap right in here. Very very very tiny gap zoom in a little bit. And if you don't have any liquid sealant in that little gap. It'll wick out and leak.
Okay let's just sneak our bottle of sealant in there not gonna work i have to do this with the finger. Thank you i thought i could just get the bottle in there. But i thought wrong and there we go just kind of smear that in there. It's kind of ugly looking.
And i know it didn't already come with it. But that could have been the source of the leak and it won't hurt that i'm putting it on there okay two more dabs on this other side over here. Thank you and uh one more in the back. Oh.
I'm in the way of the light. Okay dabs of sealants are in position let's go get the valve covered. I've already gone and changed out the gasket. It's fairly uneventful okay same way it came out nice and easy foreign.
Oh nice. This is good beautiful all right let's start torquing this down start for the inside and work our way around click all right. I think that's the last one i'll double check them with the torque wrench later now for my next trick. We'll put the cover back see.
It's got one clip right here one more clip right here. And it just slides down and clips on what will it be for me to line. It up there's a lot of stuff in the way. What are you stuck on stupid uh.
Oh something bad happened what are we stuck on down. There this is dumb nothing. I don't i'm going to defeat. The obstructions here there we go target somewhere i got it in as far as i've gotten it in so far.
So that's progress pull it out some try again different angle. Maybe close. I can see that it snows. Very non compliant component. There we go just needed to jiggle it some flip flick and another two boost pipe that's connected that's back on taking these back all right let's put our idle air control unit back in egr unit. I don't know why i keep calling it an iac. It's because it's a really small engine and uh. The fact that it's a diesel is not uh settled in with me yet.
This is sealed with an o ring by the way. Which is also in good condition therefore. I'm not replacing it additionally. I didn't know i was taking this off so i never ordered it but that'll be just fine three whatever song pete is playing i hear chewbacca in the background of it oh well somebody has chewbacca.
I think it's you click uh where's my connecting connector shiny all right this little hose go back in that's a pcb hode. All right we're pretty good with the exception of uh of that turbo pipe. I'm waiting on that all right real quick. We're back underneath this and i'm just gonna get this turbo drain back in so.
We can uh come up with a little bit of closure on this job here. I'm uh. I'm trying to get the gasket off the bottom of the turbo and it's it's not being very compliant with my will pretty stuck on the turbo. There it is got her huh look at that i moved through the matrix got it all right.
I've got the new drain back pipe right here got the gasket and i've got one of the bolts going through the flange. We're gonna get one of them started and then i can reach up there and get the second bolt in kind of a balancing ax going on right here. And it's far away and i cannot reach i uh i got the nut or the bolt in between two fingertips. I'm trying to get some rotation out of it it's uh difficult to achieve i get it persistence feel bad you guys can't see what oh gravity's getting after me all right i need to rethink this all right.
We're going to try the same maneuver again. Except. I'll use the torx feature of this bolt instead of uh trying to stick my fingers up there turns on it there oh i'm dumb. I got it backwards that hang on trying again all right well that's fine.
I won't be here. No. I don't have to all right next bolt s. What up man.
What do you need you need to get that lower arm up again okay hang on let me let me get this thing okay. I'm back i had to go do some teamwork activities come on you get in there there we go now we're cooking not that easy come on here. I think what i'm going to do is engage in some long range pry bar action. See this thing is not sitting straight.
And so it won't thread. I need to kind of move it over. But i really can't so i'm just gonna mini pry bars with a long screwdriver just to get pressure off of it and then i should be able to thread this fastener maybe yeah. It needs to go way over that way okay.
This is more difficult than it should be or i just am not good at volkswagens. I got her yeah we're good we're good we're good we're good wonderful sorry if my uh my flanges are blocking yellow's view. That's on now let's make it a little tight wrong wrench. It's fastener got me twice got me once when i was taking it off and got me again just now 22 millimeter. A little bit more for good measure. Because i feel like it not yet good and tight and clickage the compression fitting is compressed let's get out of here and put oil in this thing. We are nearly finished all right volkswagen coming down. Oh hey.
So i've got a confession to make i kind of lied to you guys um. I said earlier when we first started working in this car that i was going to save this window for later. And i started to do a video on it and um well let me back up first. I have finished the the window.
It is now repaired. I've put a new regulator in it i started to do a video on it. And it was going horribly bad. This is a very very meticulous and pain in the butt job to complete the filming of it was horrible.
The lighting was ugly um. So i the video didn't go so well so i abandoned it about halfway through so for those of you who wanted to see that i apologize. I've let you down um. I'll try to do better in the future.
But this one just wasn't working out it happens. There now that awkward moment's out of the way let's finish up here let us stopping z. Engine check it for oil leaks running out of fuel. It has to prime man and we're out of fuel try again restarting the engine widow throttle that took longer than what you saw because i had to edit that out it was boring.
That was about 20 seconds of cranking with throttle fully held it primed up the filter. Because when we put that new filter on that was full of air. So it was able to draw enough fuel in with a little pump to prime that filter. And once fuel reached the injectors again back to life oh yeah proof of window.
What a cute little turbo diesel. See if we can hear the little turbine can't hear it baby turbo. Say this thing really has some torque. What was that something make a crunchy noise.
Did i run something over what was that that didn't sound cool emergency stop. I either ran something over parts fell off. And i know i have all my parts and tools let's go check that tell you what there's nothing like here in sudden crunching noises. After working on a card take care of the life out of you and i know nothing fell off all right not not here.
Heck was that i'm gonna have to go back and see what's laying in the road maybe. I ran something over did you guys see anything i didn't see anything all right i don't hear the crunchy noise. I actually have three arms until i'm able to do this no i'm just kidding. I i drove a stick shift in high school.
I can shift and do things with my hands at the same time skill okay yeah i want to go back and see what we ran over that was concerning to me it scared me a lot. It's fair. I need to merge using indicators. Contrary to popular belief. The turn signal is not a speed up and get in that person's side indicator. It's not that far. However when i turned it on that guy over there he went around a bunch of people didn't cut us off only to come up to a red light that guy now the real test is gonna be can i shift and do a u turn at the same time without wrecking into that pole right there because that would hurt and we're off don't honk at me guy behind me. There's a shift haha.
I did it we're in second gear. See you aren't looking around whoa brakes. What are we doing downshifting. I'm gonna go over here.
Oh nice turn signal nice good job good job red rules cadillac hope you watch my channel. I'm getting pulled over by a robot. Okay let's see we pull it over like right here. That means.
The clicky noise. Happened right over here. I don't see anything in the road. Let's turn around and go back let's uh.
Get a closer look out of this situation here. Oh that car got in my way objects in the phone are closer than they appear see we'll do some knee steering shifting there we go knee steering shifting clear the curb nice. I don't think i'm gonna see what i well whatever might be there i wonder what it was oh well. It wasn't the car that's all that matters as always like thank you for watching this video hope you enjoyed this video.
If you did enjoy this video. You know what to do let me know about that by tap. It tapping that like button down below so again as always thank you for watching. And most importantly don't forget to have yourselves a great day see you guys later.
Bless you Ray, for fixing a car that should be parted out.🙂
nice to see you changing gear with the correct hand…lol (from a brit….lol)
Guess I need to check and clean that on my TDI with 318k on the odometer
If a window regulator gets changed and there’s no one around to watch it, did the regulator “really” get changed?
Stop having so much fun Ray!
No parts washer.?
I never knew there was a doot toot doo doo chamber.😆
Can you please post non-HDR videos(maybe along side the normal ones) it keeps changing my brightness and makes me not want to watch your videos
That’s not as COKED up as Hunter Biden. All jokes aside, I’m heading to bed now. Thanks for the entertainment and info you share.
Ugh, how much would it cost to change the do-de-do-de-do chamber?
I am jealous every time I watch you work on a older car… I'm in the rust belt of Michigan. When I see a exhaust or a suspension bolt I cringe thinking what my % of having to drill it out…
If there’s a will there’s a way.
Did anyone else see a stall out in his u turn
You need to shave those harry arms if you are going to do close ups like that. LOL🤣
the noise was probably the bumper noise the guy was talking about
That was a cute rabbit that went CRUUNNCCHH!!!
Quite a bit of carbon in there, but I had heard those TDIs do that. Interesting setup.
I would advise you to never smoke around das auto's, the crunchy sound would have been followed by flames.🔥
That valve was dirtier than my ex girlfriend 🤪
Best thing to do to unclog the plumbing on those cars is take the Intake Manifold off and soak it in a bucket of diesel for 24 hours, then clean it out. My old TDI mechanic in Maine always had 2 or 3 used intakes laying around for his customers. Take the old one off and soak it, put one of the clean used ones on. I loved my 2003 Jetta TDI 5-speed. had 367,000 miles on it when i sold it for $500.
Ray, how often do u have to clean out the EGR Valve? I have a 2013 Hyundai Santa-Fe Highlander 2.2 Diesel. It has been cleaned out once by the Dealers Workshop & the SUV has ONLY 29k on the Clock. Thanks from Down Under.
Hey ik you killed the car when Turing around 😂 got ya love ya ray
That noise must have been a cat that kept running.
I really like this little thing. Cool little car.
Maybe you ran over the Easter bunny. 🙃
Great Vid! Been bingeing for about a week, just Subbed.
I miss the shops so much. Broke lower back in '05 and had to walk away.
Sounds like someone got a newer radio, the bass is more bassier (on my headphones) …
Keep on keeping on! Make everything shiny and beautimus!
The parts falling off this car are of the finest German quality!..lol
I have a question? Why do your videos hijack my brightness settings? Am I the only person this happens to?
I love your videos, I just don't like getting blinded by the brightness.
Reeeeeee! You're touching their steering wheel with your dirty hands! Reee!
I think he needs his intake manifold cleaned too lol
Neat Engine, Thanks. Looks like what I'd call a 3 band aid job.
Pile of gravel you ran over before you pulled out onto the road probably had something to do with the crunch sound. New tires are notorious for picking up rocks.
That's a great car.50 MPG
bump was inner fender???
Vehicle should return rather quick with same issue as issue has been resolved but not the cause of the issue.. just advise.
The turbo has started seeping oil past seals seen in intake pipe (Boost Pipe) also part of the reason why crabon buildup is so aggressive mixing oil …easy fix should start repairing turbos in your shop too rather than replacing.
would a catch can fitted after the PCV to catch oily mist entering the intake reduced some of the carbon build up from the EGR? I've heard conflicting reports of this. some say it does, others say that if the soot is dry without oily fumes it becomes abrasive and causes intake valve wear.
Wow, they had some engine stuck in their carbon.
What kind of oil did you finally used? I think that one takes a special oil because of the pump duse tdi.
Making me miss my 2005 Passat TDI. Had a slightly larger version of the same engine.
Honestly I would’ve recommended the egr delete kit. I’m sure someone’s already said it but screw it, it’s Florida nobody cares about emissions
Ok
Finally a vehicle I recognise from the UK. Nice work Ray. 👏 👍
V dub window regulators suck ass to replace
I have never seen a Diesel engine timed with a belt, all of the engines I’ve worked on at a CAT dealership and at a forklift dealership have been timed with gears. Very interesting, there must be some kind of negotiating room for vehicle engines versus industrial engines, perhaps a VW tech can enlighten me and the crowd. Regardless, excellent content Ray!!!
I would personally delete that system so no more clog. Unless you live in a state that test emissions
It may have been the broken inner fender hitting the tire
LOL "in the doo do do doo chamber"
It should have a lift pump. Next time cycle the key on for 30 seconds, then off about 5 times and it will prime the fuel filter. Also I was curious about the oil used in the oil change which you didn't show. Hopefully you didn't just put dino oil in. VW is specific about the VW spec synthetic oil to use in their diesels. Failure to do so will result in rapid wear of the cam lobes, bearings, etc.
2005 GMC 2500hd 6.0l nv4500/zf6 best truck ever buily
👍
I wish trucks were still MT
That VW needs oring lube on that EGR valve
Isnt that a HPFP thats cam driven? I could be wrong but the car should have a lift pump of some sort or low pressure pump built into/onto the hpfp or one in the tank even that then supplies the hpfp its fuel which is then turned into high pressure injectable fuel through the tail and out the injector?
lol that person forgot to fill their blinker fluid
I'm curious as to what is wrong with your right arm, you always seem to use your left arm to do things that would be much easier using your right arm/hand in some instances like for instance shifting a manual transmission.
Highly recommend oven cleaner for EGR valve like this.
After Dieselgate these cars are hard to find but so worth it if you do.
Do Doodly do chamber……………………………………………and there went my coffee……………Everywhere!
Just noticed your swivels tend to flop around. I used to wrap some electrical tape around them. They still flex but more controllable.
You continually give me a deeper respect for auto technicians and reinforce my decisions to take it to a pro when something goes caddiwhompuss on my vehicles
how long has that car been sitting for it to be built up that bad
To make a good "cleaning tray", why not cut the bottom off a cardboard box with 3" sides as a good catch all cleaning tray.
It will contain all the muck and stuff and then you easily just dump it in the g-can.
One thing I've always wondered as not being a very useful tool in an automotive shop is a chemical hood.
In a laboratory, you have a safety glass enclosed area where you can work on things toxic or flammable where there is a fan to take the gasses out to the outside.
Also I'd add a sand blasting set up as well.
If I were designing one for an automotive shop, I'd also put in a stainless steel counter top with a hole in it and a steel barrel under the hole for waste. A good lighting system with sealed in bulbs (LED's) and good exhaust fan.
In fact, the entire box should be built in stainless steel.
Also put in a CO2 system for any potential fires.
It would be easy to fabricate and set up.
I'm still wondering why your company doesn't put in a truck ditch for working on large vehicle that cannot be lifted.
I'd think that it would pay for itself in no time.
I've see where you needed it on occasion.
Ok!
Great SHOW!!
Hi ray just 1 quick question how come you only clean out the egr valve we always take manifold off and clean that too as there will be just as much soot in that manifold causing bad airflow. Or did the customer not want that bit doing . Still love the content and the do di do di do .
Primus Sucks!
Nicely done on another “5hr” job!
Short distance diesels/coolant not above 150*F will carbon up faster.
Smaller blade (the only thing they are good for!!!!!!!!! ) screw driver to clean the area.
One burns a tonne of diesel burning that!
Two thumbs up.
"Rethink this'? long 1/4" extension (hands out of the way, of is see it a torex, small ratchet as that provides less back ratcheting. aka cooperates. ??? To have reversed that process????
It has a ??suction or in tank pump?
Yes I see that or very late signals all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ereerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Shave those Sasquatch arms yo
Is this one of those shops where whoever gets there first in the morning gets to choose the radio station? Or maybe its the meanest guy?
Yes you just don't are VW tdi familiar and make some mistakes (like priming diesel filter) but when you do few of them you will see the logics and then you will be a lot faster. But you do a good job and expect that car again to fix oil and diesel leeks from tandem pump 😉 little bit of brake cleaner and silicone and it will be ok.
BTW… When tightening fasteners on VWs it's "klicken"… 😂😂
I love VWs! Proud owner of a 1992 Golf MKIII VR6. Had her since 1993 and still drive her like I just bought her. Fix her myself.
Thanks for the video.
EGR valve. my mistake
I do miss driving cars like that, because my first car was a VW polo of that same generation with the exact same gauge cluster and a very similar interior. Drove it all over Europe with a bunch of my friends. It had a massive 1.4l 4 cylinder petrol engine pumping out an eye-watering 55hp (when new). A 0-60 time of we'll-get-there-eventually and if you had half a day or so to spare you might eventually get it to tick 100mph. But the car would not be happy with you if you did that.
Fancy new cars are nice and all but there's just something about these no-frills cars that just makes them enjoyable to drive and I do miss that.
Only use that brake cleaner outside if possible, and wear solvent-protective gloves to protect yourself from long-term exposure !!! Avoid breathing that stuff, use fans to blow it out the doors !
Thanks for your video. What's the purpose of the EJR valve? can you explain that plz
Maybe, you ran over an alligator..
Make sure to inspect cam lobes on these engines common failure. Also there is a gasket between cylinder head and tandem pump that commonly leaks that looks like a valve cover gasket
Found your YouTube by accident. I have no idea why I find it so entertaining! Keep up the great work.
WHAT Radio station is that playing? I love the Classic R&R they play.
So you broke all clips in backdoor 🙂
GOODINTIGHT
Your banter back and forth with the YouTube audience is absolutely hysterical.
I know that crunching noise. I replaced a motor mount in a 1991 Saturn once. The new one came with new studs. I replaced them and layed the old one ones in the engine compartment. Forgot to remove them. Took it for a test drive and heard all kinds of noise when they fell out to the ground while driving. No harm though. Just freaks ya out.
The problem Ray has developed is; he is worried about us not being able to see him thread a bolt, but when it comes to something interesting like a value cover bolt pattern he speeds thru it or cuts it out all together. More of the complicated stuff please. The loud noises are not loud on this end.
EGR delete is recommended.
Is the electrical connector on all the way if you don't say " CLICK"
It was a nice TDI untill I found out it was a PD. ALH for lyfe!
I first learned how to drive with stick. it seems to be a lost art
I have a carbon scraper in my tool box from trade school 43 years ago and never used it
VW TDI are not grocer getters, you have to keep them revved up around 2500-3000 rpm when shifting to keep them clean.
Excellent video on how NOT to mess with your EGR and intake manifold. If a piece of carbon buildup drops into a cylinder, I almost guarantee your turbo is toast. Never ever try to clean intake manifold without removing it from the car.
Wait…you forgot to do the spark plugs.
