2005 MK4 2.0 non turbo - Where the hell is the fuel pressure regulator????

[bybcworld]

Open hood...remove battery cable... wait 15 min... replace battery cable...get in car... leave drivers door open... turn key to on position and push pedal to floor for 15 seconds... turn key off while pedal is to floor... turn key to on again wait 5 minutes (don't touch pedal) while TB whirs and then stops... turn key off... close hood... get in close door... start car.

There was a thread about how that MAY??? do a TB alignment after removal and then re install so since I did not have a VCDS set up I tried it.

VCDS should hopefully arrive today so I can do it correctly!

That's a new one to me. Sounds like somebody combined a nice hit of crack with a dash of wishful thinking

[bybcworld]

Ill see if I can find the thread to show ya! Its pretty interesting!

[bybcworld]

So I did my TB alignment with the new VCDS (I love that thing man!) so we will see what happens in the morning when I go to start her up. I ran a full scan first and I did not have one single fault code (see below).

BTW here is the link to that chicken dance thread I was talking about...

You most definitely can see and hear the alignment being done when you use Vagcom like your supposed to! Its awesome! Worth every penny!

No faults, all readiness set, you're good to go

Yeah, that tool is awesome

[bybcworld]

OK so I went to start the car this am and it still did the same thing (after new plugs, throttle body removed and cleaned, and vagcom TB re alignment) so I guess next will be replacing that fuel filter/regulator.

It is running awesome though after that first cold start attempt!

I am going to have the battery checked also to be sure it is putting out the correct power on that first cold start.

Is it weird to enjoy/look forward to working on and trying to fix your VW??? LOL!

[Anony00GT]

When the engine is cold (has been sitting overnight), turn the key on, DO NOT START THE ENGINE, observe ECT and IAT in measuring block 004. They should be within a couple degrees of each other, both plausible given ambient temps. If ECT is not plausible, replace that sensor.

Once at operating temp, what are the values in 01-08-032?

[bybcworld]

OK checked these this morning. ECT was 30.0C and IAT was 30.0C

The battery voltage was 12.2 V

I remember reading somewhere that a good battery voltage was closer to 13 volts?

Also (and this may just be a fluke thing) when I tried to start the car after doing these checks with the key in the on position for a few minutes it started right up on the first try ??????

EDIT: One thing that has been f-ed up on this car since day one that I need to repair is the alternator wire is fried at the battery end to the point of where it actually has partially melted to panel on the top of the battery. I understand this is a common problem on these cars and I was going to eventually replace that and I am wondering if that could be causing this non 1st start in any way?

Open hood...remove battery cable... wait 15 min... replace battery cable...get in car... leave drivers door open... turn key to on position and push pedal to floor for 15 seconds... turn key off while pedal is to floor... turn key to on again wait 5 minutes (don't touch pedal) while TB whirs and then stops... turn key off... close hood... get in close door... start car.

Hello,

Im having fuel problem with my 2004 jetta 2.0L BEV non turbo and I think its either the fuel pressure regulator or the fuel pump. I connected fuel pressure guage and the gage goes to about 15 psi when the car wants to die. Anyway where did you purchase your VCDS? Also, anyone out there have any input about the issue I am having? The car also shuts down (stalling) when really hot but will normally turn over if you wait few seconds.

Thanks in advance?
