TDI(X)00 tuning day Ipswich

[Blknight.aus]

as I've had a couple of inquiries about doing some minor service/tuning work and as my schedule is all to hell...

On Saturday the 27 October I will be putting the dog on the leash, loading up the trailer as a load and flinging open the gates to do basic check and tune on Tdi powered landies. Think Minor service with a tune up and tweak and your on the money.

I Intend to run this as a "learn and do" event and will provide top cover on the following activities

Install EGT gauges (you must supply and will be routing your own cables)
Install boost gauges (you must supply and will be routing your own cables)
rejig boost compensation+wastegage plumbing (you may want a new inlet gasket)
Pump tickling
Filter changes (you must supply your own filters)
Oil drops (you must supply your own oil)
Rocker adjustments (you may want new orings for the crankcase ventilator and rocker cover gaskets.)

This is not a you turn up and pay me to do it event (well the pump tweaking I'll be doing) I'll help out, provide the tooling and the technical knowledge as well as show you how to do the basic service items. You'll be expected to bring all your own consumables and fittables.

Confirmation of your attendance and what you want to do will need to be to me prior to 20/10/12

There will be scope for other minor works, questions and maintenance BUT the primary focus will be on getting the engines running nice.

If I get my timing belt installed by then I will swing by.
Probably just for a looksee and meet yourself and other members.

Cheers,

What date is the Td5 day?

[Blknight.aus]

you only need to bolt in a new map for the ECU, theres no hyper level of mechanicary involved in that.

Wouldn't mind dropping by to perhaps learn by observation....If I'm not back at Mick's - with my engine, trying to get it all back together again!

If I'm coming (and if it's OK!) I'll bring some beer and let you know.

[Blknight.aus]

no problems, there, so far not even the people that have asked about it have committed to coming so at the very worst it'll be a quietish day while I pull the manifold off of SWMBOS and give it an overtune.

[GuyG]

so there'd be time to change a turbo, lift pump, vacuum pump and do a full service including sump gasket unless I go 4wding

Im interested, just got to make sure nothing else breaks in the meantime. May have to swap the transfer case before then.

Already have my egt gauge and boost gauge waiting for a spare second lol.
Cheers,
Joe

Thanks for the offer.
I'll try and show up, I've got a couple of issues I need a knowledgeable opinion on.

I'm 99% certain I'll be there.
Hopefully get the timing belt done tomorrow.
Picked up the EGT and boost gauge yesterday. (VDO from MTQ)
Getting the EGR cover plate modded for the EGT probe, won't get it back 'til tuesday.
Still have to find a water pump gasket next week and possibly a EGR Gasket.


2 weeks, plenty of time.....

nearly forgot, inlet/exhaust gasket and the O ring for the crankcase ventilator.
