    I changed the timing belt today on my 06 TDI BRM with 192K. It was my first time changing the belt on the VW but I’ve changed timing belts many times on other vehicles. I followed the instructions from Exo VCDS on YouTube. I used the proper cam lock and crank lock and am very confident that...

    So yesterday I experienced my 2006 Jetta do what I think is entering limp mode for a short amount of time.

    So after doing the camshaft on my 2006 BRM, I started having turbo/low power issues. Upon investigation I found that there was a vacuum leak at the tandem pump outlet nipple. Turns out I must have ripped the rubber grommet/seal/nipple (whatever the name for it is) that goes on the tandem pump...
