[xstr8^mk3x]

i just drove thru boise a few weeks ago and all i saw was a stock mk4 golf with stickers and a riced out mk2 with oregon plates

hmmmm.... the mk4 could be anyone and i have only seen an mk4 jetta locally that is riced out

[niteshift]

MKV GTI 06

MIL (Check Engine Light) came on whilst driving around the other day. Really reluctant to take it to the dealership, unless you guys/gals suggest otherwise.

APR'd, Intake, PCV fix.

What do you consider "Riced Out"? An what color was it?

Call around, there are some places that can just do a simple scan to see if the fix is easy. Otherwise you should try to find someone with a VAG-COM and the know how to use it.

Mike (guy with PERFECT OEM white MK2) has a reader he could possibly hook it up too, you would need to check with him though

Jeff's will scan it for free with VAG-COM, any symptoms? misfires?

[thedj_edm_jetta]

not that i nknow of lets start throwing out ideas! EAgle road is always a good area

[niteshift]

Sorry about the thread jack you guys.

Occasional hicups, fuel cut, misfires deep into 6th gear (dsg)....Always seemed octane dependent. The higher the better the car runs. I lived next to Sears point (infineon raceway) for a while so it never really manifested itself. IDK - Perhaps I'm associating independent points....

Nonetheless, that fuel cut only ever occurs between 1st and 2nd at wide open throttle. And the misfire....if that's what I;m feeling always occurs in 6th (it's a slight stumble)....

Are you stage 2? What octane file are you using with your APR? Have you had your cam follower checked? coil packs replaced under recall yet? stock spark plugs?

It could be either bad plugs or coil packs causing the misfire. If you are stage 2 you might be getting fuel cuts from the programing and need to get an aftermarket HPFP and update your software to stage 2+. You also might be using the wrong octane file, I know I was using my 93oct file until pretty much every place in the valley switched to 91oct. Like I said, take it to Jeff's or maybe even S-Car-Go and have it scanned.

I will be working so I will not be there either...

[Brycejoseph]

Okay so here is the lowdown. At 12-2pm on the 6th we will meet somewhere near eagle RD and drive to Idaho City or something.

Everyone fine with that?

Srsly though. Where are we meeting we can decide where to drive when we are fed/fueled up and good to go.

[xstr8^mk3x]

down like a clown charlie brooowwwnn....

[G T Igofast]

If we're meeting in Eagle and heading to Idaho city how 'bout meeting at Los Betos on Eagle or the Buffalo wild wings parking lot? They're close to the freeway for easy access towards Boise? Just throwing that out there.

Can't wait for this one, i had a good time at the last one! Gonna try to have my brother come out in his Mk5, gotta fill xfg1's spot

Sterling, bring me a mk2 center console

[Brycejoseph]

That sounds good to me.

If we are cruising I have a suggestion.

in 3 hours we can make this loop with no stops, I hope we stop at some point.



But for those who like twisties.




Here is a mountain road south of Loman. This road is very pretty and very twisty and fun to drive. I am out there all the time for work and I try to always take this way back to Boise.

It is a much longer drive perhaps a drive for another time.

I think the Idaho City loop would be more than enough driving.

just throwing out ideas, I am super excited.

[LC5P_12v]

Just need to take into account how the weather will affect this/these drives...

[thedj_edm_jetta]

that drive sounds amazing! weather predicts some rain.. hmm debatable...

[maverik3]

if it goes down at like 2 i think i can go and even get my brother to go as well.
if i could make a suggestion about the location, i think 3 hours is a little long for an enjoyment ride. maybe something closer and shorter like maybe an hour or so?

This is is very true, anyother plans? If we cut the back of the loop off it could be much shorter.

I have also seen some rain in the weather lets cross our fingers. I really want to take the scirocco, but I might have to settle for the fresh engine swap :/

Cross your fingers guys!

[maverik3]

i dont know about anyone else but i would even be fine with a bogus run and it would be a cool place to take some pics

[thedj_edm_jetta]

Im down for that

[xstr8^mk3x]

sounds good.

[dustinwark]

I don't feel as if my car is cool enough to participate in it's current state. I might come to take pictures though!

Dustin, stfu..... my car rides higher than yours does even after you raised it for winter time! lol

[G T Igofast]

I'd be down for a bogus run, that big ass loop is a no go for me though. Hopefully the sunshine prevails

[LC5P_12v]

If I wasn't working 10am-4:30pm Saturday I'd be all for the drive up there...

[Brycejoseph]

a bogus run sounds like a good time, now I have to work on driving that road like a sane person... :/ Rain please dont come. I have heard it will be late afternoon rain, so I am rearing to go asap

cheers,

[thedj_edm_jetta]

I might come to take pictures though!

DO IT!!!

Aaron can Mitch make it to shoot pics as well?

[Brycejoseph]

The weather is clearing up!

[maverik3]

so it sounds like we meeting at 2 on saturday somewhere on eagle road, and we are driving to bogus?

[xfg1]

HOLY **** BRYCE!!!

Ok, so this isn't the best looking route for a fall/winter drive but I think I see our first cruise of the spring right there! It's never to early to make plans...

[Brycejoseph]

so it sounds like we meeting at 2 on Saturday somewhere on eagle road, and we are driving to bogus?

In the Buffalo wild wings parking lot on eagle road at 2pm. Then a Dive up to bogus and back down I think that is a pretty good summery.

[maverik3]

sweet sounds good!

[G T Igofast]

DO IT!!!

Aaron can Mitch make it to shoot pics as well?

If he's not already scheduled to shoot the BSU game he said he really wants to go, If we could get a patch of nice weather I'm sure he could get some really good shots up bogus.

Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot at 2pm then. Are we doing food somewhere before or after? I'll probably go grab a or 3 at the Old Chicago downtown if anyone wants to join.
