Installed some Meyle HD trailing arms. Mainly with the idea to improve the impact noise going out of sunken-in (max 1“ deep, with sharp asphalt edges, vehicle speed 50-60kph) man hole covers.
Tremendous improvement! This loud and unhealthy clunk into the rear body structure is as muffled as...
Well, I have had binding noises on one of my multiple suspension iterations before. Top mounts and bearings (ending E) new, new bolts, everything installed after spec.
Many trials later I went back to the bearing that doesn’t have the multiple holes underneath. Was able to see witness-marks on...
Looks like you have intermittend issues with the left headlight. If the main beam is out other light don't work either. I might be wrong, but the one common thing between all light functions is the ground.
- Have you checked the headlight 14-pin connector yet? Any signs of water/corrosion at...

Ioniq 5 N drifting
Sunday got canceled due to perfect weather for performance summer tires

Preventive action.
Observation: OE plastic looked fine, only O-Ring a little bit flat and too big for the grove.
My mom‘s VW up! had the check engine light on. This didn’t look factory:
Had to extend the wires because they were hacked up in several spots.
And then I found this ashole
A rat got stuck in the engine bay, and eventually passed away.
Hey Don,
Unfortunately this is not legal in Germany, and you won't pass TÜV inspection. Every light that is installed needs to operate "after" the books. About 25 years ago my MK2 failed inspection because I was running used big bumpers. They came with front fogs, but I haven't had time to wire...
