[Muad Dub]

i'll be traveling to the Domenican Republic for spring break... leaving tomorrow at 1 i think...

Ooo you poor soul, you cant drive cause you are going on vacation to the Dominican. I weep for your troubles

Yesterday, I did a partial oil change (couldn't change the filter because Faulkner-Ciocca Volkswagen over torqued my filter housing), pollen filter change, re-installed my AWE tips for the Spring/Summer/Fall, and put GTI grilles on for the weekend (borrowing them).

this happened to me the one time I had someone else change my oil. After about an hour of trying to get it off with my hands, oil filter wrench and housing cup, I pulled out a big pair of channel locks and it came right off with ease

Modded my ContourHD cam to accept a 1/4" audio connection. Now I can use a decent microphone AND place it anywhere I want around the car instead of videos being all wind noise.

The resonator delete was too quite for me. So I went GHL 2.5".

My Res Delete is a pushing my volume tolerance, I may put my Res back in as well. I thought it was awesome for the 1st two days now i am questionable. I noticed for some reason there is a big variation of the Res delete volume among different MK5's.

[Hung2low]

Oil change.

Took it for a drive through the city, country, and up the mountains. As crazy as Pennsylvania is, we have such a diverse terrain.

Ehhh, what happened? How many miles? Any advice to avoid this happening to anyone else?

[RobbS]

Oil change, airbag harnesses.

I actually need to order two myself... turns out, my alignment is effed. 6000 miles on these V12 evos and the fronts are at 1/32 and 3/32.


Edit: Picked up two Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105.

I had my MU replaced under extended warranty at ~90k miles. Right now, the car is at 114k. My case is the first case they have ever seen like this. The oil pump inside the DSG started to fail. Because of that, the wet side wasnt getting lubed properly and eventually something inside broke off and now there is metal all through the trans and gears. It wouldnt go into gear, the car acted as if i were holding the clutch in. When putting it from drive to park, it would grind. I never even got any flashing PRNDS like i did when my MU went out.

I've babied the car with maintenance. All DSG fluid changes were on point, and I never drove it like an idiot...however, the car has seen about 10 track days. Just for reference, my cam followers usually last for almost 40k, while others seem to change every 15-20k.

DSGs are known for dying because of two things: clutch packs and mechatronic units. This is the first time it's been castostrophic trans failure do to internal oil pump. It makes me suspect foul play when they redid my MU (because they also redo the filter and dsg oil) about 25k miles ago.

Thanks for the info.

My car got broken into last night. I can't figure out what they took but I do know they left my gps but took my favorite hockey jersey straight from canada. at least they had the decency not to break anything

Only 6,000 miles? My alignments probably messed up a little bit too, (been more then 2 years since alignment has been done ) but im waiting to get the coils then do the alignment.

And Sweet! its my first set so we will see how they go.

My biggest gripe about the v12's is traction and road noise. Then again, they're stretched.

that might be it. i read reviews on here awhile back that the v12's are actual good tires. Lets hope these v4's are better then

[RobbS]

Well, my wheels are getting powdercoated on Friday, which means I'll probably have my tires mounted at one shop on Monday, then aligned at another .
