Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

I was a little worried I'd be chasing CELs, but all good. The ABS and Traction Control lights took a really long time to go out (for system to calibrate), but all is well now.

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

Fail day today. The connection from the clutch pedal cylinder to the line that heads to the clutch slave is one that you press in and a clip holds it in place. Turns out I didn't have it in all the way so I pressed the clutch and it popped out and had another mess of brake fluid everywhere. It turned out to be really difficult to get that line snapped in. It is in a bad place and hard to put a bunch of pressure on. After I finally got it, I re-bled the clutch and the plastic bleeder broke. I'd like to think it is because it was a used clutch slave and not my fault.
Anyways... Not a pile of progress.

Nice, seems you are not wasting time!
Am I the only one having problem with your pictures?

New longer axles:


Programming done!


5-speed trans, just before lifting it in to place

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

Brakes and clutch bled tonight. Hell of a time getting tranny back up. A bracket that shares the top trans mount bolt slipped down and was preventing the trans from sliding on all the way. I figured I had the clutch misaligned so wasted a bunch of time there... Trans is up and lined up now. Bolt it in tomorrow....

Re: 05 Passat Wagon TDI

Clutch slave in, three pedals in, shifter in, electrical 50%. Also built new axles and flashed ecu. Hopefully have everything done by the weekend!
