Replying to: elias (Aug 25, 2007 7:37 am) It is not uncommon to get a small airleak in a fuel line. Most of the time, it is harmless or you may observe som airbubbles in the clear fuel line between the filter and the Injectionpump. It is possible that the Injectionpump can "suck air" and the engine would stall out. One easy thing to try is to simply replace the fuel-filter and MAKE CERTAIN that all the hoseclamps are snug and BOTH of the O-rings are installed properly and in the correct location. (The 2 O-rings appear to be the same but are intended to be installed in different locations.) I am thinking by doing the above, the stalling problem will be resolved.

Replying to: pludlow (Aug 27, 2007 3:54 pm) As for the "cutoff" with the brakes on... you are only partually correct. It is actually a specific RPM limit when brakes are applied. To prove it to yourself, try this -- while sitting in neutral put left foot on the brake pedal and then use right foot to bring engine RPM up... you will notice that the engine WILL NOT GO PAST a specific RPM while the brake is applied. I still would replace the fuel filter if it were my TDI stalling. It would be a cheap way to "shotgun" the problem with more than 60% chances of success.

Replying to: anteater (Sep 07, 2007 3:19 pm) I have never been "wanting" for more power in my 2003 TDI. I "drive the torque curve" and it can outperform many other cars... especially passing power.

Replying to: bpeebles (Sep 07, 2007 6:42 pm) Not too many areas in the continental USA exceeds the altitudes of the Rocky Mountains. Literally the TDI runs like a mountain goat in this performance parameter and range. (forgive the juxtapositions of metaphors here) The nexus of course if it can run well there, almost anywhere else is by definition: "down hill". I was amazed at the mpg going from sea level to 6500 feet. I was particularly amazed from 6500 feet to 2000 feet!! 584 miles, 12.1 gals, travel time 6.25 hours, 48.26 mpg!!!!! It is amusing to get those surprised quizzical looks from V8 drivers during pull away. (Durango, CO to Las Vegas NV, for those who want to mapquest) http://www.laplatadiscount.com/Durango/Reference/tips.html ..."Did you know? About three-quarters of the nations land above 10,000 feet is in Colorado. Estimates place more than half of Colorado above 5,280 feet."... Yet in listening to folks who have these types of machines in Europe; such as Alltorque's Skoda examples, it becomes apparent that the USA market get the "less powerful version" (90 hp vs 100 to 110 hp). They also get another gear, (6 speed vs 5 speed)that can also wring out 2 more mpg, if they do not demand the extra hp and torque. |
