Thread: New to NB, Boost leak problem

  1. 04-13-2012 06:25 PM #1
    i recently convinced my mom to buy a 2001 VW Beetle 1.8T, she bought it and when i took it to have emissions tested it failed, was running too rich, i was able to locate some ripped hoses and at the shop they replaced and 02sensor and the cracked intercooler.

    Using a boost leak tester, soapy water and an atomizer i located a big boost leak out the following gasket (see 1st pic) on the cam thing, i proceeded to tighting them just to find out that both bolts were threaded (see 2nd pic), being the reason why its loose and leaking i need to know what the name of that gasket or part number is and if someone can take that bolt on their car out and tell me

    what size bolt is (M?x?.?) PLEASE im gonna have to heli-coil those threads and put ne bolts on there.




    NOTE: THOSE PICS ARE NOT MY MOMS BEETLE, THOSE I TOOK OFF MY AUDI TT, BUT THE PART I NEED WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE BEETLE

    That is the cam position sensor. There should not be any oil or air pressure there. Are you sure the air off the timing belt sprockets wasn't throwing you off?
