I wish windshield laws are more lax. My Blazer have big cracks in its windshield for 4 to 5 years now with no ill effects.

[mr.mindless]

I get glare from the cracks in the Jetta. need to get that done sometime.

same 4/10 emissions monitors only set since 5 min drive in addition to drive last week and just now to buffalo and back tonight.

fucking thing

Tuner messing with emission monitors or emission components themselves are messing up?

[M4wdFab]

tuner been disconnected for at least a tank of fuel. 

it has a historic code thats pending for regen freq too high but i cant clear it.  (no CEL)

i have watched it regen at least 6 times.  web said 3 times it should set 4 more monitors. 

[TrailTamer]

My best guess some towing miles w/o tuner should help with that regen "too frequent" pending code

[M4wdFab]

it regens about every 15 minutes at speed, more if you let it idle. 

either the tuner has broken components or i need to get that historic code cleared before it will be happy and run the tests.  not going to let it bother me, is what it is.

4 weeks to get into dealer
what a pile of shit

[M4wdFab]

mike do you know much about the waste gate on these trucks?  some of the forum threads say soot clogs and sticks open / sticks closed?  could mine be stuck closed and thats why it has over boost codes? 


i guess i have 4 weeks to try somethings, or to just order a new truck haha

[mr.mindless]

first: there is no wastegate.

the vanes on any variable geometry turbo can get sticky with age, usually on vehicles that are babied or sit for long periods.

you know you don't have sticky vanes - the exhaust brake does things. if the vanes were stuck it couldn't do anything.

I don't know if it's possible for vanes to partially stick? Seems to me it should be all or nothing. Could you have a sensor problem? Do you see high boost? My truck maxes at 29, I rarely see more than 27. I thought I remembered yours being lower than that.

Holy crap. I'm hard on my turbo lol

I think there's a "cleaning port" on the turbo to decarbon it.
