No more work done yet. Got a case of the "I'm sick and tried" over the weekend. This coming weekend is D-Day. I have gotten a new DV hose and new hose from the change over pipe to the N75 valve.
I did take a good look at the turbo over the weekend. It is still in the car at the moment. I did notice that there is some leaking of oil at what I can tell is the feed line input to the turbo. So that could be good news if it is the line itself. I hope to get a better look at it this weekend before taking it out. If I can avoid removing the turbo, I will be happy.
Ordered a basic universal catch can off ebay to help with the oil vapor issue with the PCV system. That is a project that i plan to build over time and is not set to go into the car this weekend. There is a lot involved with setting up a good catch can system in the GTI.
I need to tap the oil breather port on top of the oil filter housing. I plan to pick up a nice AN fitting for that. Then run a normal rubber hose to a t-fitting for the port off the valve cover to a reducer since I'm sure the catch can ports are not big enough for the hose being used. Then to the catch can and then out to the PCV with a reducer in there too for hose fitment.
So that will be a fun project to build over the next couple of months. My goal is to have that in by summer (May-June).
After the oil leak is found and dealt with. My next projects are (in no order):
catch can set up
sand, prime, and paint rims
timing belt, water pump change (past due)
new rear tires
re fabric the door panels
fix latch to pull driver side rear seat down
sub frame squeak fix
power steering leak fix (I'm thinking braided with AN fittings)
tint to protect new fabric
reinstall holy crap handles (I don't know why I haven't yet)
fix blown LED behind cluster
replace fuel pump gasket
replace fuel filter
That list is overwhelming.
