I think most are running EHM or Provent to prevent oil into intake, which is most likely what you are seeingcoming from the CCV system and would be "normal" according to D/C if you believe their BS statements.

Thanks, I was aware of those mods. I've still got 5 years and 48k left on the 7/70 and I'm going to let everything break that will up to then.

Just remember EGR's and EGR FCV (about $300 ea) are not covered by 7/70, only turbo, engine, tranny, drive shaft, and rear end and axles. The 7/70 is also why I bought a '05 over '06 model, looks like you and I were smarter then the average bear.

Good point, though they've already been replaced once. Probably do the "why is my intake full of oil" visit at 2.9/35.9.

Anyone pull this sensor a second time to see how long it takes to plug?

I still have @ 2.5K miles to the next oil change and it getting way too cold out to be tinkering so I haven't looked.

Thankful to now be an EX-CRD owner.

Ummm, why make that statement Oldnav. The information contained on Fred's is huge and far more detailed, the pool which to accuire mechanical data on the CRD is minimal and will take time to accuire, but never equal Fred's by shear numbers. I own both a 2.0TDI and CRD and I've been once to Fred's for what I was looking for, and read this forum everyday and read everypost possible. I'm here to monitor failures and shortcomings of the CRD only and find a way for DC to do something. There is no fix for the CRD and having to clean the boost sensor and fiddle with everything is a joke. My CRD has already had the Alternator, ball joints, rotors, EGR, battery(next almost dead) and the Turbo ($2323.00 cdn alone) at 9600 miles. My 06 had the test F37 implemented from factory and already screwed, the torque converted is ready to spew its guts, it magically GREW another gear! Dealer says oh that's normal, it's an adaptive transmission, DOH. I'm trying to get my money back for this crap bucket as this forum is depressing as hell... but is needed and greatly appreciated to survive owning the CRD!

Dude if your CRD is that much trouble and your reading every post by coming here to look at failures and shortcomings that's a waste. You've already stated there is not fix for your plagued CRD.
So I'd say if you can't fix it, and your life is so fixated about it burning a hole in your wallet, then get rid of it.

I've been a member of Fred's for almost 6 years, my member number was 53xx and now they are up 59,xxx and yes this forum has a long way to go to match Fred's with diesel head experience. I have hosted about 7 TDI GTG's over the years and learned a lot and made a lot of friends, some of who I talk to on a regular basis. When the TDI forum was a year old I bet it wasn't any better then the CRD forum is at one year, but then they were pioneers without a lot of experieced people like we have here.

Man you are what I would call a lost cause. I'm not sure, but I think you may be a troll. But then if I had half the problems you have halfa$$ stated you have had I would have been rid of the vehicle long time ago.

+1 Oldnavy.

Kellog13, Oldnavy is pretty bang on with his assessment, IMO. L.O.S.T. is to Liberty (especially CRDs) as Fred's is to the TDI, relatively speaking...perhaps not in the absolute. L.O.S.T. has the least fluff and most info/interaction for CRD'ers.

Cheers,
Duey

Oldnavy said this forum rivals freds for info and helping hands

You said freds is huge and far more detailed and compared the pool from which data is available.

You didnt even make a valid argument. Dont get huffy just because your torqued about your CRD experience. If this forum is depressing you then dont come back. It is really that simple. I find it very informative and helpful and once we get this transmission figured out the CRD will be a fine vehicle. Its just a shame people here have to do it for DC.

Would eveyone please coolit. I'm clearly stating that its impossible to equal Fred's as there are only 11,000 CRD Libbies from which to accuire useful data and of that portion only a small % will view here and contriute. At Fred's, and for that matter just about all other sites including MB forums there are wide spread toics in all fields and questions and people come and go as needed, like a library. This forum is the best on the planet for the CRD, BUT owning a CRD will require you to have a daily subscription here if you want any chance living with it or your money returned to you from DC, I'm close. I know this is painful to digest, but the parts used from Mr.dressup's tickle trunk to piece-meal America's first try at the small diesel, they get a 3/10 for thier efforts. My field of expertise is aviation, Engineer and manufacturer of parts, YES it is sad and depresses me to think corperate somewhere made these discesions and let the consumer foot the bill to see where the problems lie and see what happens. DC knew this would'nt work, they wanted to be first out of the gate. YES, I had reservations with this purchase, it was under powered for the torque rating during the test drive. I have no one to blame for this but myself and will try to recover some of my expense when the Turbo's R+R'd next week. The pre F37 CRD dyno's at 129HP, you'll be lucky if you get 124 when its done like mine, I did not get what I paid for, on paper it should haul, advertised 160? Even if the Toque conveter is sorted out, the engine management will always be faulty, it will not be fixed, just band-aids. I'm simply stating the obvious, and I truley am sorry, I paid list $38,000 CDN and expect a lot I guess. Its the stupidest thing I've done and have pay'd my dues to be a member of this exclussive club. I have a couple more problems with it and will post new threads for opinions.
Thank you, and I hope I cleared things up...Oh Oldnavy, your post are entertaining and helpful, if you need parts manufactured, I have contacts and can create 3D models and Rapid Prototypes.
