Golf/GTI VI :: How To Use SeaFoam On TSI Motor


May 15, 2011

I bought a can of SeamFoam from my local parts store and don't know exactly how to go about using it on this motor. What is the best way to get in into the intake? I searched and didn't find anything.

Golf IV R32 :: Strange Choppy Noise From Motor

The R has 48K miles on it. The other day i realized after driving it, a choppy noise coming from almost directly under the spark plugs. As the car was cooling down while still on the noise stopped for a few seconds and then started again. Any clue of what this might be?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Turbo Set Up - Motor Won't Start

Well I have been working on my build for about 2 1/2 years. Built the motor for the turbo set up that I had on the car and a few other goodies.

Now the motor turns over with no issue and I have spark. So I know my problem lies in the fuel delivery. My pump tested fine and I have fuel at the rail. So my next guess is the injectors. After trying to start the car I pulled 2 spark plugs out and they where dry. So this proved to me there's an issue here.

Before I go and rip my manifold off and start pulling injectors is there anything I could check first? I'm thinking from sitting that have gotten dirty and clogged.

Looking for wire diagram for the injectors on the vr6?

Golf IV R32 :: Motor Shake Just A Little Bit At 1000RPM On Neutral

My R32 is stock, 60K miles. On neutral, i realise that my motor shake just a little bit at 1000RPM, lower and higher, no prob.

I try to start slowly on 1st and 2rd gear, no prob. No vibration when i use the car normally. I think it's not my flywheel. Probably my spark plug or my coil pack.

Golf V R32 :: Car Makes Several Squeaks While The Motor Is Turning Over

I have been cruising vortex for the last month and finally pulled the trigger on a low mileage Red R32. I am quite excited and love driving the car around.

First, when my sunroof is fully open there is a great deal of reverberation at speeds of 30mph plus. In fact you can feel the whole headliner vibrate. However, if I push the sunroof wind deflector down just a small amount everything is just fine. Is there some adjustment to that wind deflector?

Second, when I test drove the car at first the car started up normally with no unusual noises, but since I actually purchased the car, the car makes several squeaks while the motor is turning over. The dealer tells me this is normal. I took the car in because of the squeak and they found a bad water pump bearing cause they heard some other noises with the engine idling, but that the squeak upon startup is normal operation. That doesn't make sense to me.

Golf IV R32 :: Humming Noise From The Front Of The Motor?

So I noticed while doing some cleaning under the hood today that something was humming or buzzing from the front of the motor. I also noticed that whatever it was was making my oil dipstick vibrate. Is this normal because I just left somewhere and the car had a little issue getting started. I had the battery and alternator tested on the way home and they are fine.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 - Motor Seems To Be Very Hot After Driving

I have a '01 1.8T Jetta with 132k miles that is driven to work daily. I don't take it about 4-5k rpms and don't drive hard in general. Nonetheless the motor still seems to be very hot after I drive it.

Well I always leave the engine running for at least 2 minutes prior to shutting it down. It's starting to get annoying but I am wondering if it's worth getting a turbo timer to continue practicing what I do (assuming it's even worthwhile).

So, just wondering what all the 1.8T folks do. Do you sit and let it run for a few mins and then shut down or do you recommend a Turbo timer?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2.0 Motor Burns Oil At Unreasonable Rate

I have a 2001 Golf with a 2.0L motor. I've had this issue for a while now; the motor burns oil at an unreasonable rate - around a quart every 1200 miles. If I'm at a long traffic light and idling, a lot of white smoke will come out the back when I start moving. I don't notice smoke any other time. Also, the gas mileage is reduced by about 75 miles per tank when it's cold outside.

I have recently replaced:

temperature sensor

thermostat

plugs & wires

cleaned mass airflow sensor

The last mechanic I went to, who I will no longer be using, as he is incompetent, thought the cause for the lost cold weather mileage and burning oil is the PCV valve. A friend thought it would be a worn head gasket. I'm having trouble finding any info on PCV valves for this motor.

Golf V R32 :: Motor Stalled In Drive When Coming To A Stop

Coming home from a 2500km round road trip and back. At the time I was about half way home during the 1300km day, the car is in D and has been all day and it has been about 500km since I last came to a complete stop. I stop at a red light on the highway in a small town on my way through, look at the tach and see the rpms, once its dropped down to first, dip down to about 300 or so, then quickly back up to 550/600 which is its normal idle, then all the sudden it stalls out completely killing the motor. Cycle the key and start it up right away and it drives as usual. his might be the 2nd time this has happened. R32's and DSG.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Coolant Leak - Blown Motor?

My car has been leaking coolant as soon as you put it in from it looks like the transmission area. Today I filled the car with water and drove it on the interstate to work. The car started getting jerky like it was losing power. So I pulled over and when I did the car shut off. There was excessive smoke under the hood and after removing the oil cap, smoke coming from there also. Tried restarting and it sounds like it just spins. No start. Looked at the timing belt, it's still intact. Put a wrench on the crank pulley and it's turning. What's wrong? Is it a goner?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Motor Ticking Around 2500 - 3500 Rpm

My 1.8t motor is still ticking around 2500-3500rpm. I have changed the oil with 5w-40 mobil1 no even 75 miles on oil change, Brand new oil pump with tensioner and chain. oil pick up tube cleaned and good. new plugs about 75 miles on them as well. Always ran 93 octane (highest I can get at my gas station) Only thing left that I can think of is my cam tensioner is bad.

When I accelerate up to speed it starts ticking but as soon as I let off the throttle it will stop get back on the gas it starts again.

Stockish 2000 gti 1.8t 5 speed. short ram intake.

Is there a way to tell if the cam tensioner is bad? .

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Knocking Noise When Installed New Motor

Okay just installed a newer 24v into my existing 24v VR6 GTI both with 135k. I have heard the motor run before it was pulled and sold to which sounded fine. Upon receiving the motor I put new timing chains, guides, headgasket and new gaskets all around. The timing was right on the mark and I tightened everything up to torque spec and I'm getting this noise which sounds like it's from the timing cover area. A code just popped on which I'm going to scan as soon as I get my hands on one. The car was running great for about 20 minute and I shut it off then turned it back on about 5 minutes later and experiencing these scary noises. I tried pulling each individual coil with no results to get the noise away. What could this be?

Golf V R32 :: Squeaking Noise When Starter Motor Engages

I've had my .:R for a while now, gotten used to its little quirks. But one thing that sparks my interest (not really worrisome though) is I have a squeaking noise when the starter motor engages. It definitely squeaks once per revolution for about 4-5 sqeaks, and it's noticeable in and out of the car. Is it a bearing going bad?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Heater Blower Motor Not Working

I got a new resistor since my last one was in a puddle of water and installed that today and still have no heater blower motor. I checked all the fuses and have power. I sent power to the blower itself and it spins good. So somewhere between the fuse and the blower it isn't working. I need to take the controls out and test for power there. Didn't have time to do that today. What wires to check or where to start trouble shooting?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2008 - Blower Motor Not Working?

Blower motor has stopped working on my 2008 jetta 2.0. Motor works fine and I have traced the issue back to the fan switch connector which is not getting power. Seems like it should be a fuse issue, but they all seem to check out fine. Not sure where else to look. Is there a relay upstream that could be bad? I have owned since new and it has never been apart.

Golf/GTI VII :: Turn Off Make Electric Motor Starts?

I picked up my 2016 GTI S 4dr manual on Saturday. (Pics to come later)

When I turn off the car, I hear an electric motor start. The sound is coming from the engine area. I haven't had the car long enough to stick around and find out how long it runs.

What this motor is doing? The only possible thing I could think of is running an oil pump for a few moments to get cooler oil over the turbo.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - Oil Light Comes On And Shuts Motor Down

I have 2003 Jetta GLI 24V VR6 original owner right from the showroom floor. Just the other day I was driving to work and all of the sudden the rpm's dropped the oil light came on (Beeping) and the car shuts off. I had just changed the oil several days ago and I know the oil level is correct and I check again and the oil level is correct.

So I started of very easy, like most blogs say "oil Sender"...replaced that and after driving for about 20 to 25 minutes...the same thing. So I also replace the oil pump and after driving 20 to 25 minutes the same thing.

No oil leaks. Oil pan is not cracked. So now I am at a loss. I have owned the car from day one and it is very well maintained.
