Had to figure out a way to mount the aftermarket FPR.
But ended up going with the option to use the in built FPR they use in the next model up. Pictured is the oem fuel filter where the mk5/tt8j fuel filter goes. It has
- fuel in
- fuel to rail
- 4.bar pressure regular to return line
Part # WK69/2 (4bar) or equivalent
All I had to do was make up a return hose with come quick connects - just used some bits from the wreckers.
Cam cover wrinkle painted in black - much easier to care for!
Most of the car was back together so decided to upload 3.2 software and start up!! ... or not start up... car didn’t run
Slept on it and remembered that
I grounded one of the wires to a throttle body bolt = not connected to ground. Oops!
Once that was sorted I got the engine fired up! ... codes ensued!
These two were strange however.
This was strange - given its summer and
Was 30 degrees C that day!!! When starting up the car the measured value went further into negative until - - was displayed ... hmm.
So I looked toward wiring.
Upon changing back to the mk4 MAF these issues disappeared. Lesson?
Don’t use a 3.6 MAF!
I thought I was ready to put it back together but after running till engine up to temp I got this
Then while finding the issue leaking hose I found injector #6 was leaking. So...
Front off again to fix the issue. Getting to the rail =
- disconnect coilpack plugs
- remove packs
- remove all vacuum lines and intake piping
- removing mounting bolts
- Front down as in the pic
- then you can get to the manifold front bolts
Hassle!!!
But we got there
