    I worked as a VAG technician. The unit injectors system is called "Pumpe Duse" in German. The camshaft driven pump (called the "unit pump") supplies fuel at a pressure of around six bar through ports inside the cylinder head. The injectors are operated on by the camshaft lobes to boost that pressure to approx 2000 bar. The injectors then inject fuel when signalled via the electrical connections. Unused fuel is returned to the fuel tank via a fuel cooler located under the vehicle. Pretty reliable system though some suffer from camshaft wear. (Edited to correct errors caused by my phone).

    The crunchy noise is probably the bumper/wheel wells. Pretty sure the bumper was cracked too so when you were driving fast and it hit a slight bump everything crunched or hit the new tires. You can drill small holes for now and use cable ties to stitch them together to improve it until replacement can be done. Awesome job, Ray.

    From a TDI fanatic i can tell you all that carbon is why we have our ecus programed to turn off the egr. Then we completely pull the intake manifold when doing timing belt replacement and i personally use liquid lye drain cleaner inside the intake manifold while i plug up the intake hole with plumbing expandable hole plug. Boils out all that oil and carbon deposits in intake.

    Hey Ray greeting from across the pond, love your videos. With the priming of the VW Diesel fuel filter when you take the old filter out place the new one in place an then hold the old filter over the new one, where the black feed pushes into the filter and just turn the white or black plastic piece on the bottom of the old filter and the diesel will drain from the old to the new filter and save having to turn the engine over to prime it. As you may have guessed I’ve owned and serviced a few Diesel VW Golfs in the past. Keep up the high quality videos all the best from the UK

The only reason he cleaned the EGR valve is he had to remove it to access the valve cover; technically I suppose he could have just knocked the excess off and put it back in. About all he can do is recommend further disassembly to give valves and intake a good cleaning.

    Pumpe Deuses just have leaky valve cover gaskets, its really common. On BRM code mk5 PD's its a good opportunity to inspect the injector lobes on the cam as they flatten out. There is also a seal for the injector harness in the head that leaks. The unit injector was how VW got injection pressures up to 27,000psi the older TDI's couldn't achieve.
