I got some new mods and finally fixed one of my engine issues. I will be posting my upgrades with photos shortly.

My gas mileage went down slightly after my aeromods.

I dialed my Injection Quantity down but have been fighting engine codes and the dreaded flashing glow plug light for the last few months.

Replacing my MAF last week helped get my gas mileage back up (on daily trips) but still throwing the 01246 code. I do have air bubbles in the fuel line and will have to replace fuel lines until that is fixed to rule that out. My TDI doesn't use a lift pump so the Injection Pump sucks all the way from the gas tank. Any cracks in the line or fittings will let bubbles in. I replaced the thermoplastic Tee o-ring. Fuel filter only has 5k miles on it.
