CR Cold Weather Inspection.

[tomo366]

I live is the DC area, but my car displayed the symptoms of an Iced Intercooler last night with a no start condition! It did finally start and did not have any problems today.....although it was 20 degrees warmer this morning......
Anyway I spoke to my Friend who is a Master Tech at Martens VW and told him about the TSB he hadnt seen thye problem before......He said he has however seen sticking egr blades causing no start problems .....

What is very interesting is that my dealership did that exact inspection and replaced the airduct. That was their fix as well. i know u have posted how to do it but do u think next time u do this inspection u could take more step by step pics so a complete novice could do it ? either way thank you for all your great posts.

Team:

I posted this on the other (less friendly) TDI forum and wanted to share it here.

After reading on here and having some rough starts, I ramped my car chocked it good and removed the belly pan as you would when you do an oil change. As described I removed the hose clamp and carefully pulled the giant radiator looking hose away. I found using a big screwdriver around between the hose and the intercooler made removal a breeze. Just like you would a radiator hose only bigger (I like simple words not like the folks on that OTHER forum who correct you for semantics)

For clarity the hose I disconnected was on the PASSENGER side. Make sure you remove the simple looking HOSE CLAMP not the fancy crimp connector thing

Here are some pictures I took. I nicely made an appointment with my dealer and showed the pictures to my service advisor. No sweat the TSB repair kit was ordered but no ETA.
