turbo changeover valve WTF ---VW question
I have a buddy here who has a VW, I hate messin with it because its all 100% electronic controlled, but a shop in town is tryin to tell him he needs a "turbo changeover valve" because his O2 sensor went bad.
WTF is a turbo change over valve. -and why would it go bad because of an o2 sensor? I think they are BS'n him, tryin to get more money from him. fuckers. >:( |
Re:turbo changeover valve WTF ---VW question
um, i don't think there is such thing as a 'change over valve'. tell tire country to ---- themselves. o2 sensors for vw's are like 35 bucks brand new. i wonder how much they charged him just for that :-X

Re:turbo changeover valve WTF ---VW question
i'd get more than one opinion.. some car shops like to ---- people over.. my friend has a 92 integra.. and he was just told he needs a new distributor because it's leaking oil and it's gonna cost 300 bucks total..i told him to flip them the bird..then come over my house

Re:turbo changeover valve WTF ---VW question
they have diverter valves, they don't make noise b/c they redirect the air back in to the charge pipes b/c they have maf sensor, not map.

Re:turbo changeover valve WTF ---VW question
SOME of the oxy sensors for the 1.8T are ~$40 and its not the year that matters it is the engine code
see VW isnt like honda where a 1.8 dohc engine is a B18 there are many different engine codes for the 1.8T AWW, AWP, AWD, APH, AWV, AWU, BKF, BNU, AEB, AUG, ATW,and AWM For an AWW $60 an AWD $26 and for an AWM $180 the DV is only $50 |
Re:turbo changeover valve WTF ---VW question
VW is messed up

Re:turbo changeover valve WTF ---VW question
just think those engine codeS are only for VW's GTI Golf Jetta Beetle and Passat
Audi has even more than VW for Quattro and non-Quattro cars and for 180 & 225hp cars but VW engines and heads are more compatible than hondas you can take a 2.0 8v block, put a 1.9 TDI crank in it and stick it under a 20v 1.8t head and have a 2.1T for next to nothing engine swaps are easy too you can put a AAA VR6 into am 90 jetta using factory parts and plug the wire harness from the VR into the fuse box and roll |
