The High Altitude Compensator is a barometric pressure sensor. It is used in the calculation of mass air flow along with Karmann Vortex frequency and Intake Air Temperature inputs. Without a functional HAC, the car will run differently according to barometric pressure. It will run richer in low...
The yearly rebuild on the A340 will more than surpass the cost of fuel burned without overdrive. A friend of mine has a built A340 and 346 hp to the rear wheels. He needs to rebuild about every 15,000 miles. They aren't poor rebuilds either.
You've got to send alot of oil thru one cylinder to cause it to miss. I'd pull the plugs and have a look at them. If one is significantly worse than the others, there may be something other than turbo oil seals going on, like valve guide seals, rings or something.
34 is the code that sets when you hit the overboost fuel cutoff. Step one is to check carefully for boost leaks as this will cause you to hit the cutoff sooner than you should. After you have repaired any leaks, you shouldn't hit the cut @ 10 psi (on the stock turbo? I'm assuming). The code...

POS, a friend has one. It likes to stick shut when the valve guide falls out of the wastegate housing and gets jammed. They did send him another one for free. Same POS though.
BHG and rodknock are the two most common complaints. A properly installed metal head gasket will take care of the former, keeping the engine ful of oil will take care of the latter. Happy motoring.
I'm sure you'll be the first to post up when your transmission blows up because you put the wrong fluid in it, JalopySiR. I'll be sure to let you know if any of my customers blow up thier multi thousand dollar transmissions because they wanted to try something different. Some of them have been...
Hey, put whatever you want in your transmission, it is yours, fill it up with monkey jizz if you want :squirt-mo . Just don't tell people that it isn't going to do any damage. The burden of proof is on you, seeing how even Pennzoil has in bold face type on thier website not to use synchromesh in...
