If you are doing it yourself and would consider stock, you could go the route I went with my family's 2015 jetta TDI. Buy the OEM Sachs clutch kit and VW dual mass flywheel from FCP EURO and have a lifetime replacement warranty on all of the expensive wear items. I also installed the orifice delete. Clutch feel is great
And also removed and cleaned my spark plugs. All these collectively seemed to have a great impact on the engine\u2019s performance! The engine runs much smoother and feels a lot more sporty!
Denso Iridium 1 step colder plugs. Running great on my 2017 Jetta 1.4T
Job got done in about three evenings Biggest time sinks were figuring out how to use the caliper piston compression tool and getting my overtorqued/rusted lug nuts off. Drove up from Maryland to NYC with no problems so I think I did the job right.
I removed the brake master cylinder and wanted to inspect the internal seals... A faulty master cylinder would be spongy and soft to push its piston all the way in. A good master cylinder would be only soft when the lines are open, and would be hard, or require more force if the holes were plugged/sealed/closed. I used rubber stopper to plug the holes and performed the test: As you can see in the picture: in both tests it took almost same amount of force to push the piston. That indicated an internal leak, and a faulty master cylinder.
Sorry for the late reply. just to go ahead and close this out, it was a bad alternator. Took the 400 dollar hit to my wallet and bought a new one. Spent a few hours yesterday replacing it. So far I've driven it about 30 miles without the battery light coming back on. Thanks everyone for the help.
I believe I've found the correct one on amazon (Part # NFW7206) from the Sachs store.
In that short time that engine oil made idle smoother, so highly recommend.
I ha dto change my tires e-brake, e-brake lines, brakes rotors, rear subframe bushings and I have 8 codes on my car sayin I now have electicall problems.
They rate the pump at 500 hours on ethanol and I think I actually got less than that. Although I have heard dsm and evo guys running these pumps with no issues for over a year my guess is our cars don't like it. This is a genuine 044 not a fake one. It was installed of July of last year and it ran pump fuel until December. My pump completely died on Friday and the car would not start. Luckily my friend had a spare one laying around that he wasn't using popped it in and the car started up again.
