Blown something....?

hahah, yea a wide open pcv system could almost certainly be the cause. let us know if it fixes everything 100%

Real time troublshooting at it's finest.

Your car is in a protection map. Normally you clear fault codes and reset the ecm after something like that. Continue inspecting for leaks, however it will usually take 2-3 start ups before the ecm accepts that life is good.

Okay I will try to start a few more times. Car still acts the same after one more start after taking apart the cool side ic hose and putting it back on. This time I made sure it was on nice and snug.

So far Eurojet has been pissing me off! :mad0259:

I did find another potential leak on the discharge ic hose. The screw that secures the splash guard made a slight hole in the ic hose. I got a video from my 2.0megapix cameraphone. It's about 2 mins. How can I post it up?

CEL did come back up as well.
One that that is consistant is the way it starts up. The ignition has a slight hesitation before it turns over. Once it turns over it's smooth sailing on Idle.

 

[Phil@BSH]

Man that is a lot of oil. It may not be a bad idea to spray some electrical parts cleaner on the MAP and IAT sensors.

Hesitation at idle may be fouled plugs do to the air leak / oil you have going on.

Why would I have so much oil? Flooring it too much? Overfilled oil level? Just cracked the 5k mile mark and got an oil change at the dealer.

 

[HoldDaMayo]

wow, you've done all this to your car in 5k miles???? You sir, are a speed addict

Good luck Lou, hope everything works out without any major cost.

 

[Lou_Y2mK5]

If I would do it all over again I would have gone straight to stage III. Cost more going up through the stages.

Unfortuneately VW's typically have incredibly oily gross motors. The PCV issues these cars have dont help much either. I have the same check valve you do and just recently I noticed the presence of seapage around my oil cap. You may want to dissasemble the check valve and make sure it is functioning properly.

 

[Lou_Y2mK5]

Can you say. Oil Catch Can...Need not want. sheesh.

 

[redGTI]

Is there a viable catch can system available? Has anyone already done this on a MK5?

 

[Lou_Y2mK5]

I take back my comment about Eurojet. Joel did write me back on Sunday but I never got the e-mail till now for some reason. He said he would take care of the hose fitment issue and send me some new clamps as well.

I belive Phil@BSH has one in the works. It will only work with their DV system though.

My Nitro-Meth bottle arrived today. Too bad I can't put it to use!

I want my car back!!!!!! Why me??!!!!!!!!
