Today I took the intake manifold off to replace all 4 injectors. One injector was stuck open and needed to be replaced. I found it strange that the injector went out at only 75K miles. While I was there I did a carbon cleaning. I did it all by hand but I think it came out great. Also, the...
Hey guys, just wanted to update you. I determined the HPFP was not the issue. Before I went to install the new HPFP I did more research and the issue sounded more like a stuck injector. I took the spark plugs out again and looked into each cylinder with a light. Had someone open the driver's...
Over the weekend my car died while I was driving it. At first the idle was terrible and it had no power. I pulled over into the median and it stalled. The car would crank over but never fire. crazy enough, no CEL turned on. I ended up having to push my car off the road. Thankfully someone was...
Over the weekend I DIY repainted the panoramic sunroof trim. I think it came out great. It took me a couple of days to sand off the old clearcoat by hand. I then wet sanded the orange peel until it was flat and cut and polished the clear coat. She's ready for AVF!
Here in Tampa, the love bugs are out. They're the worst. Last weekend my car was covered in them after I just washed my car. I was heading to the Urotuning cars and Coffee and I was trying to keep it clean. I used some waterless car wash spray to clean them off but it takes a lot of effort. It's...
Thanks for your help, I'll take it back and see what they say. I do have the lifetime warranty with them but I feel they aren't the best. I'll also look around for a different shop that is more reputable. As for the lowering springs. What other components should be changed? I'm also curious how...
I see, The last time I got an alignment was with the stock control arms everything was in the green. This was with the deadset kit installed. I did get rear-ended after the original alignment was done but I don't think that would change anything in the front end. The car was driving straight...
I just installed Superpro control arms with positive caster and Racingline lowering springs. I got an alignment done and I'm concerned something might be wrong. I got the sheet back from the shop and the caster on the left is off by .6 degrees compared to the right. Also noticed the car was...
Ever since I bought this car two years ago I've been noticing a random ticking noise coming from the headliner that has been driving me crazy. I pretty much fixed all the interior rattles except this one. I have the sunroof and it appears to be coming from the area between the sunroof and the...
Just an FYI, I bought some secondhand Racingline lowering springs meant for the Golf R. I installed them on my GTI and the drop looks perfect. Both the front and rear are on the same level.
I installed the Racingline lowering springs this past weekend with the stock DCC struts. The installation wasn't too bad. I did not use the 2x4 method. I ended up removing the knuckle with the strut still installed. After I installed the springs I recalibrated the DCC suspension using OBD11. I...
I had a similar experience. Yesterday when I was merging onto the highway. I was wide open throttle since nobody was around and out of nowhere EPC and Check engine light started flashing. The car was also running like crap and shaking. I pulled off the highway and the car almost felt like it was...
Do you use lowering springs with the B4s by chance? And yes the stock setup uses Monroes. I assume the B4s + lowering springs + DCC recalibration should give me as close to stock ride quality as possible while having a lower vehicle.
I also was thinking that the B6s might help with wheel hop...
