Any indication of when? What did he say about the FPR pressure?

Indication early next week

They pulled the fuel pump out and identified a small kink in the line

I told them about the FPR and Ben (I think I was speaking with a Ben :dry: def not Sean as he was on the Dyno) put a fuel gauge on the car and he said its reading 300kpa so thats a good sign (approx 43psi)

Still need to do a few more poawa runs and hopefully its done.

Awww thats kinda sucks

Never had such a hard time b4 with mechs and tuners - everything appears to be lob sided theses days :/

well thats good.

The EFI thing is unfortunate, he would have had a tight schedule leading up to powercruise then when yours required extra work there just would not have been time to do so with out fecking everyone elses schedules to hell.

I actually feel kinda bad about recommending you go there now, but I still maintain the tuning work will be worth the wait! Sorry! :(

Not your fault mate.

I am sure Sean does good things. Which is why he is so busy too.

Bad timing appears to be my detriment.

Nothing I can do there but try to play my cards right.

A smart man told me once 'that good things take time' he knows who he is :turned:

Hopefully x all fingers and everything else the Ant-eater will be done and I will be driving it :worship:

I remember going to EFI/ERD last year just before powercruise. Let's just say insanity was an understatement. They were BURIED under work.

yep its really full on, same thing before Jambo

I've been forever pondering lately what gets prioritised through workshops / tuners

seems like FIFO is not something you can rely on as turnaround indicator

    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
