The O2 sensor housing I guess it's also called the turbo elbow lol, I don't have much since getting my clutch installed cost me quite a bit I was hoping you could do $20 and I don't mean to insult you but I am in a jam.
Fuck my life, took the back to the shop to put on a new exhaust gasket for the O2 sensor housing and 2 studs broke off. Anyone in Houston have an O2 sensor housing for a turbo I can buy from them?
Lesson of the day, never go full retard lol the connector didn't fully clip in and it wiggled itself halfway out. Pushed it in fully and no problems at all no more codes.
Started her up after work and died immediately then had no power at all for a few seconds then started up again and stalled immediately. Managed to start it up again and held the revs then limped it home and found it was throwing code 31, AFM wiring. Gotta find out if it's the black box, which I...
So Yesterday morning I picked up my MK3 from the shop after getting my clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate replaced along with various gaskets and seals in that area. It drove perfectly fine until this afternoon the radio started shutting off on its own then turning back on at random times then...
Finally got her done, test drove her and what a big difference. Drives smooth, engages nicely, revs quicker and holds RPMs longer, no sounds at all, shifts like butter and finally got it timed right. Turned out it was able to get timed properly after they torqued the crank bolt to spec. I almost...
No problem man that thread is filled with good info and I am visual person so I like seeing what I am talking about. Also check out Numba1stunna's youtube channel his videos helped me out a lot with lapping the valve seats, installing valve stem seals, etc.
I would take this time to also replace your valve stem seals while you are at it and just clean everything the block, EGR valve, throttle body, etc. just take the time to spray some stuff down with carb or brake cleaner and scrub it down well it will be worth it in the end and less of a chance...
I used a Felpro head gasket kit they assured me that their composite head gasket is the same or better than OEM but I would get better gaskets for everything else that you will replace as you remove the head. I used the Felpro kit with ARP head studs on my 7M and did the entire job myself, I...
Changed the tranny and LSD fluid, installed the downpipe and everything else then fired her up. Drove it to about 20mph on the lift for a short period just to make sure everything was working smoothly. Car is so damn quiet I was about 20ft away from it in the shop and I could not tell it was on...
She is finally put back together other than the dash and center console but we dropped the lift and fired her up, took a bit to fire up but she started and the clutch is working fine we changed the tranny fluid to Redline MT90 and the LSD fluid with Mobile 1 LS gear oil. Didn't get to take her...
Car is finally getting put back together, flywheel gave us a little trouble but we got it on there with the ARP bolts and torqued to 70 ft lbs according to ARP. Car will hopefully be done today and I pick it up tomorrow barring any issues that hopefully won't surprise us.
