James827 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 you cant. its electronic. maybe try the Evry mod. BUT DO SO AT OWN RISK. more fuel = More heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffD Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 vag com required, but don't attempt a fuelling increase unless you really know what you're up to. why do you want to anyway? is it not starting too well now that it's cold?

Mini_ash Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 It's pump timeing I mean and I'm sick of being stuck at 50 waiting for a down hill so I can hit 60-70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffD Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 sophie's sdi isn't that bad, how many miles have you got on the clock, has it had a cambelt? I've got the set to adjust the timing on the old style vw pumps where you take out the 10/11 mm bolt from the end of the pump but I've never used it on the electronic control so if you want to try that you're welcome to it, but you'd be flying blind as I have no set up details for it. there must be some somewhere though, if you could find them. geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 you wont be able to really advance pump timing as its electronically controlled.when the engines cold the pump advances itself to make it easier to start then as its running it Slowly retards itselfnot even worth the time on an SDI. think of all the beer money your saving from fuel economy.

GeoffD Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I've got some vw manuals for the older cars, i'll have a look, but don't hold your breath. if it's that bad, get somebody with vag com who knows what they're doing to have a look at your pump . geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Ash, I've never required a down hill to get up to 70. You sure there isn't something else wrong? Edited December 19, 2013 by Skezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Ash, I wrote a How To on diesel purge, I'd recommend it. Mine has 114k miles on, but the amount of crap blown out was pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
