IMHO this thread is fantastic. But, where is the pattern, VW TDI related, I don't see any.
A CAMARO enthusiast driving his first DIESEL.
198xxx miles , unknown owners, unknown service history
The guy does not even know what he's using nor does he know what he is doing.
He was using a few loads of ……
===================================
no im not running a two tank setup. the wvo i was running is not straight wvo.
its biodiesel i guess. a friend of mine blends it. uses 30 gallons of wvo 5 gallons diesel 2.5 gallons gas and a few other small amounts of chemicals im not sure of.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
but he did not run his blend it for a longer period of time.
( on and off for 3 month )
To call it WVO related … I don’t know. I wouldn’t.
-Then , he’s using the wrong engine oil
-A very fouled and dirty K & N filter from the previous owner, and fears of a clogged intake (you say it won't rev up very fast.)
- i replaced the fuel filter... seems to be running good. lost the little wire clip that holds the T fitting on top the filter on.
- engine burns oil
- he never checked his injectors spray pattern….and so on …and on
Injector was streaming instead of atomizing
What's the value in this kind of info?
I guess every beginner should go through all pages and learn and understand what not to do !
I have checked with friends in Germany and called a Road SideAssistance Club ( ADAC ) for any outstanding figures. There are none for the VW TDI's from 2002 to 2007.
