3B distributor adjustment / Boost

[Eric Huppert]

One for the archives!

 

Haven't resolved my boost issue but was able to loosen distributor hold down
tonight and adjust hall sensor marks to perfect!

 

Grabbed wrenches from work, but even with cruise diaphragm removed could not
get anything to work! 

 

Ended up removing fuel rail/injectors and used a 13mm Snap-on "S" shaped box
wrench. Worked perfect, probably the easiest way to do it! Injectors were
just installed last month, so didn't have to worry about new seals.

 

On test drive get a CEL, 2142.: 2142 (Blink Fault Code), 00524 VAG1551/2
Fault Code Number 
Knock sensor #1 (G61)
Open or short circuit, Defective sensor Check sensor and wiring

 

Sensor is new Bosch, just replaced. Didn't have this code with old sensors.
Will swap connectors between the two tomorrow and make sure it follows
(bought 2 740mm length, so both the same length)

 

Per Cody's suggestion I did get boost to drop then drove easy to see if
boost returned (didn't). This was prior to reading codes, once I got 2142
realized no way it's coming back!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks to all who are making suggestions, this is what I've always liked
about Audifans! Old school, common sense, btdt stuff!!!!!

 

Will update progress when I know more (after "new knock Sensor" resolved)
