HEY EVERYONE, NEWBIE TO FORUMS. HERE'S MY STORY I JUST BOUGHT A 2001 PASSAT NEWER BODY STYLE WITH 1.8L TURBO. IT HAD NO COMPRESSION ON #2 CYLINDER WITH 2 BENT EXHAUST VALVES AND A TURBO FULL OF OIL. I REPLACED THE TURBO AND CLEANDED OUT ALL THE OIL, PULLED THE HEAD OFF AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT CAM JOURNAL WAS CHEWED UP FROM TIMING BELT TOO TIGHT. I BOUGHT A HEAD ON EBAY THAT WAS AN EARLY STYLE HEAD WITH NO AIR PUMP PORTS. I KNOW THE AIR PUMP IS ONLY AN EMISSIONS COMPONENT, BUT IT WILL PROBABLY KEEP CEL ON. IS THERE A WAY TO ELIMINATE AIR PUMP SETTINGS WITH VAG-COM? ALSO I AM NEW TO VW AND NOT FAMILIAR WITH VAG-COM WHAT IS THE BEST CONFIGURATION OF VAG-COM? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
