Yes yes I've seen all that before. They're little so when they go boom it sound more like tin man taking a fart.

 

[Moparbubba]

No the turbo squealed like a 6.0l ps till it popped and the head/egr one well went just like a 6 leaker does

Maintenance is your friend. All those pictures show lack of maintenance.
A bunch of my friends and myself have been running VW diesels for years and we've never blew a head gasket. We've seen an occasional turbo failure but that was from a major overfuel condition, not lack of maintenance. The first set of ARP head studs I installed in one was back in '02, the kit wasn't even made for a VW tdi diesel but it worked well. We even put a complete tdi drivetrain under the front of an old rabbit and converted it to a mechanical pump, talk about a fun little car!

Bottom line is, you treat any vehicle like **** and it will **** the bed on ya.

Thats what keeps me employed folks can play me now to take care of it or pay me more later to fix it.

I wouldn't have thought about there being that much moisture in there.

 

[Moparbubba]

Usually there isnt that much water but when it gets this cold really fast the moisture builds up

TDI's like to have the **** out of them and they'll last forever.

I beat the **** out mine 2.5x as hard as stock

If mine sits for more then 3 days the gremlins seem to come out. The turbo vanes stick and will go into limb mode.

Since my car is red its only fitting to beat on it like a redhead step child.
Since this is a thread about TDI carange I thought I would add some of my own. Stock clutch with 260k on it. One day leave working she just gave up the ghost.

And my intake when I bought the car

All welded back together

No more flap

I have a question for you VW guys. A friend of mine has a 99 Jetta ALH with high miles. A few weeks ago I pulled the injectors and pop tested them, they leaked very bad and had a 200 psi spread on pop pressure. I replaced the nozzles with the same thing I've been using for years and now it has a hole melted in one piston. My feeling is that damage had already been done with the old nozzles and just took until now to rear its ugly head. Any ideas?

Ill bet it was already on the way out with the old injectors. Or he got her really hot are they bigger then stock?

I assume you pop tested the new ones?

Did you test the main pressures? I'm assuming you didn't - takes special components to do that. What nozzles did you install?

I find that installing new nozzles of a different manufacturer messes with the pilot and main pressures, If the pilots come out near perfect, the mains are usually +60bar or more, not really sure why.

Some carnage:

Diagnosed by a mechanic as "bad injection pump"

That thing has some excessively long injection duration. You need bigger injectors.

Timing belts work better with a tensioner..... where all the lifter buckets punched thru? And how many of the rods bent?
