Passat engine pulsing

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Interesting. Most the time I've ever looked at replacing a DMF it's always recommended to put a SMF as they are more reliable but maybe this one is built better? Maybe it's a LUK DMF?

I did like the SMF on my MK4 (think you ended up with that one). Responsive, although quite rattly on a TDI!

Frans at Dutch auto parts was the one who brought it to my attention.. he suggested it if running any sort of tune.

Performance DMF instead of a SMF? That was the better call or you just want the stock feel?

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Just an update... 5 speed is ordered for this old girl! Should be a cool project.

-Transmission
-Performance DMF and Sachs clutch
-Pedals, lines, sensors, shifter, inner CVs, tranny mounts, clutch slave cylinder, etc..

-Malone will do the software side.

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Did you do the fluid change ? I know a shop did mine by using a infrared thermometer on the pan for trans temp and it needed fluid when it was checked by using with a vag com for the trans temp.

Yup. Was a pain in the butt, but am pretty confident I did it correctly.

Used this guide (great site):

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Fluid and filter are pretty new. Less than a year.

Re: Passat engine pulsing

There is a tsb on the torque converter for the 2006 I wonder if it is the same part carried over. Might give you more information. Also a fluid and filter change might help as well.

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Might just be the lockup solenoid.

If everything comes together, I would really like to turn it in to a 5 speed and keep it for a few more years. It would be a cool project as well as get the auto out of a car that is getting in to higher miles. As the auto is still working, it may be worth something as well and help fund the project.

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Finally got a check engine light. Looks like torque converter. Seems like a good time for a 5 speed swap...

Sadly, it decided to behave for George. So pretty much just driving her till she gets worse at this point.

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Sounds like a good idea.

Re: Passat engine pulsing

Booked in with Tunedub. See if George can pin down the issue...
