b6de some issues
Posted: July 3rd, 2009, 5:11 pm
okay well i was going to sell the car but have changed my mind as anything im interested in is to high on insurance for me.
1st problem- brake lights are always on. is there a switch that is possibly shot and not reading the brakes are off?
2- my EGR tube is broken where it goes into the nut on the exhaust manifold, so if you can picture it i can pull the tube in and out of the manifold. can i just weld where the tube goes into the nut? i want to do a temporary fix as i have a slight miss at low rpms, and am throwing a EGR and o2 inversion code. i think the 02 is probably caused by the EGR tube allowing air to enter and leave the manifold freely screwing up the o2 readings. the reason i want to temporarily fix it is because i am planning on turboing it. and have sourced most needed parts except the manifold. But if i were to install the turbo and still have this miss it would be impossible to narrow it down. thats why i want to fix it first.
3- SLOPPY,LOOSE shifter. this drives me nuts. the tranny has under 100 000 on it but the shifter is so sloppy. if i take off the center console there is no grease over the ball,by where the shifter comes up like my old tranny had when i first got the car 8+years ago. how do i remedy this?
