Removing N249 valve

[David_smith_909]

Cheeky question , i know

I really want this removed but looking at all the guides on this website (including sims) i feel that if i attept this i will c*ck it up big style and probably knacker something in the process

is anyone from the north west aree have this done? if so , fancy doing mine ??? (will sort you out some cash for your time, can travel also)

I've done mine, just took it off and left the sensors connected. I wasn't fussing around with resistors, or what have you, lol.

 

[David_smith_909]

do you still get the same effect doing this?

 

[TimD]

Yeah, as far as i'm aware.

You can bypass it with all the parts in situ, i just did that and then removed the bits that the car wasn't using anymore.

 

[David_smith_909]

have you got a guide on what you have done ???

not being funny but im no mechanic and the reason i wasnt doing it myself was because i didnt understand a word that was said on sims writeup

i know bits and bobs but normally leave it to the tuners to make it faster (or my mate to fit the parts), doubt any of them would even attempt to do this though

searchy searchy the tafia boys!

All us welsh boys have done it now. I reckon i could do it in about 5 mins now as it didnt take me long to do Rogers.

searchy searchy the tafia boys!

already searched, hence how i got hold of sims writeup, i understand bits and bobs of the rightup, he seem'd to explain it very well, but half the stuff sim was going on about i have never heard of before

Philw, you in north or south wales ????

 

[davidol]

the tafia are all based in the south, cardiff and the rhondda

 

[David_smith_909]

thats a bit far, was gonna say iv got family that live in north wales, never mind, cheers anyway

You still got them hoses for sale davidol?

 

[David_smith_909]

Anyone else from this area that can help me out ??

Will supply beer tokens ?????

I'm in the North East near Middlesborough if you fancy the run out I can do it for you doesnt take long at all! Or I could try and take further photos to help you with it, it really is simple once you've stripped the pipes off. It looked complicated for me and I've done valve clearences on a gear driven cam V4 engine before!!

 

[David_smith_909]

can you pm me your address please mate to see how far exactly you are

cheers, might take you up on that if you dont mind

photo's would help also .......

 

[Craig!]

PM sent, also have VAG Com here should you want to run your car too!

 

[David_smith_909]

140miles away matey, cheers anyway, could you take some more pics and send them me please, if not, itl have to be a run down up your end at a weekend sometime

 

[Craig!]

If you buy some silicone hosing and a t-piece I can cut it all to length, join most of it then send it back with instructions on where to fit what if you like?

 

[David_smith_909]

does this include all the resisters ??? or do you not need them to do it the same as TimD has

 

[David_smith_909]

if you send me a list of parts i need, il get them and send them up to you (very trusting arnt i)

ie - size hoses i need etc ...

Cheers Craig, really appreciate this

Do you want to remove the air tank? I never as it made life 10 times easier, I just left it plugged in which means you dont have to faff around with the wiring etc.

 

[David_smith_909]

the less faffing the better, so i guess the air tank can stay
