Brought it to the dealership and saw that my radiator cut about 20 of my wires from the engine harness including knock sensor 1 and 2, Intake flapper motor, and the wire to the sensor on top of my fuel pump.

IMO VW made a stupid idea of designing the radiator and fans without a shroud over them.... WTF were they thinking?!? I wanna have a shroud made, just dont know where to go to get it done

[keerfratiug]

Plasti Dipped my front grill. Now I have that matte finish I've been coveting for so long.

[keerfratiug]

Oh, AND I drove to the dealership to pick up my touch-up paint. Guess what?

They ordered the wrong color from Germany. Idiots.

Now I have to wait another week and a half to touch up my paint chips.

What kind of sound is that? I mean how does the engine ever make the transformer sound.

Just curious what the sound is since I have the comp catch can from bsh coming this weekend. It uses similar blocking plate.

[KIDVersion 1]

Installed a manual shift boot in the R32.

You shouldnt have any odd sound, It should sound like it usually did with the PCV in place. At first it will sound a little funny and act like it will wanna die, but that will go away in just a minute or less. If it hasnt, drive it around the block just to get it circulating. I have both the block off plate (winter set up) and catch can. I just reinstalled the catch can from having the block off plate installed for the last 4 months. One thing you could do, check the seal and make sure it isnt leaking. If it is, that might (very slim possibility) be the problem. It doesnt hurt to change it anyway and its 30 bucks at the dealership.

It would be different than yours anyway, regardless. The block off plate that you will be using has 2 ports that stick out the plate that hoses are connected to that go to the catch can. He has the revamp plate that completely gets rid of the pcv completely, rerouting internally... Its a totally different set up.

Nice!! PSU mod i see?

[NmyGLi_06]

Replaced my worn out **** knob/ boot and surround out with one that I bought from a fellow vortexer... Took a whole 5 minutes... Now I have a nice shiny new knob, surround and especially no fraying boot

[nittodub]

almost done striping the coat off the lips. Just have one more to go.
Big difference in shine in person. left wheel has clear coat, right wheel no clear coat.

[KIDVersion 1]

Yes.

Others did it before him. People just took notice when he did it.

[edwilk55]

Where? I must have missed it

Yeah I remember reading that in his build, its definitely a very nice mod and looks great!!

[GTIHB]

Got my HID Fogs installed, killed the battery in the process! Then got home and had an Epic FAIL trying to install my new Dice iPod adapter, but painted my center and top dash insert to match my exterior. Looks good....a day of plus' and minus' for sure!!!

you should post some pics of the painted dash pieces

[GTIHB]

Ask and you shall receive. Pics taken by my buddy Mr. Nelson.






Enjoy!

Ahhh yes...everytime I go to my garage to see my car I keep waiting to see her on my hood...but alas...just dust

The only sound I think you could be talking about is the sound that the rear check valve makes after installing the block off plate. If you are hearing like a poping or knocking sound coming from your intake filter then thats normal. Only way to stop it is to remove the rear check valve.

[GTIHB]

I will in the morning for sure

I noticed it when I took it around the block, it's almost a whine when I hit boost. Not really variable with RPM or boost pressure.

I only called it a "transformer sound" for lack of better terms. Seems like that's what everyone is referring their weird engine noises these days, lol.

If it is a whine, like a turbo or a supercharger sounding whine - that is normal. That is just the sound of the turbo whistle that you hear from the intake, having an aftermarket intake amplifies the sound of the turbo and you hear it more. you may have not paid attention to it before and just now realizing it

I'm used to the sound of a turbo and supercharger, I've owned vehicles with both applications before. This is definitely a new sound, lol. I'm just completely stumped as to what it might be.

ordered diz.

Sweet! I want the same Intake but with the bung to relocate the DV!

Mine does make some odd whining at partial and WOT, but it's not consistent. (non turbo spool)

I actually thought it was the rubber cover on the BSH intake, but that was discarded when I installed the DV relocation.

Everything runs stable and normal now, so I'm assuming it's just a VW sound.. not my first VW..and not my first random sound that won't go away :-)

Glad I'm not drunk, lol.


Can't wait for the weather to clear up, I need to keep up on my wheels

[eatonrabbit.]

@RobbS - can you record the noise?

[RobbS]

I can try, it's muffled by my loud tires and engine noise.

[NmyGLi_06]

I have the Y connector for the dv relocation if you want it... PM with an offer if you want it
