TDI Intake FS

I have an intake off of my 2003 TDI (1.9 ALH). It is in complete working condition and I have cleaned it out. It was removed at 120k miles along with the EGR valve. I am asking 150/obo for the part. I will work on pics or I can email them too.

Re: Bad Alternator

Well got the TDI back and it was the alternator. Battery was fine and works great now. Even though it was put on a year and a half ago and the Labor is only covered for a year, John didn't charge any labor. Hopefully this one won't peter out for awhile.

Re: Bad Alternator

Well we got the car towed to Missoula. first the battery is in good condition, in the 20 below weather it would not hesitate at all to start (several starts to go to work). I run a 550 watt amp so I don't think that is an issue. Also, before we left town I stopped twice and it started right up then ...

Bad Alternator

So my alternator died again :banghead: (replaced about a year ago). First, is anybody else seeing this. John at import palace (Missoula) used a bosch part and it is under warranty so once I get it to him he will fix it free of charge. He did say he has been having trouble with some of the bosch part...

Re: Finally Modified the TDI

I think the biggest thing to note with these tuning boxes is getting access to a VCDS to run a log test. Then if you are spiking you can show them the log and they will make the adjustments where they are needed. problem is the 200+ for a vcds.......plus I still have a desktop computer.

Re: Finally Modified the TDI

What they would do is flash their tune over it...I don't think you can put a malone tune on the Qloader. If I am understanding your post right. www.kermatdi.com. The qloader is spendy, the reason I got it was Paul gave me a 20% discount for being military so that made it worth it to me, plus it is h...

Re: lost wheel Key and wrong rated tire

well got it off thanks to import palace. I just had them get 4 luggs from the dealership. But what is interesting is there was another jetta there (03 just like mine) and her lug key didn't fit on my jetta. Either way thats done. thanks for the replies.

Re: Finally Modified the TDI

yes. it is called a qloader. it basically flashes the ecu. So when you saw me smoke Florence up lol I had a "flash" that was a little too agressive combined with a plugged intake. So I requested a milder "flash" and it works much better with my clutch. Now once I can get a vagcom...

Re: Finally Modified the TDI

Since the intake cleaning. The Tune I had did produce some smoke at WOT but would slip the clutch pretty bad (especially in this weather). I told KermaTDI and they sent me a milder tune and I don't see any smoke and the clutch doesn't slip. I need to get a boost gauge next because boost spike is a v...

Re: Finally Modified the TDI

I don't think 118hp is to high, especially with a tuning box.....everything I have read is that the ALH's were very underfueled and could benefit from a tune and injectors. DynoJ have you installed different injectors or thought about doing it? What clutch set up do you have? What does it cost for a...
