What did you do to your 2.5L today?

[kevin FaKiN spLits]

I am no longer a C2 customer because of tuning reasons.

Yes, kohler is correct. UM is the only company right now that offers the proper tuning for my car and he tunes well. The awd rabbit was at the UM booth at waterfest after being retuned with 870cc injectors...409 whp and 368 wtq if I remember correctly. All stock motor with pro.maf

Jeff is still making my tune but I picked up the pro.maf at waterfest

409whp on the stock motor... Damn that would have saved me 800 bones... 410-450 is where I want to end up. So if dynod fwd that equates about 430!

Drove it... waited for it to rain to get a free car wash

Found out the squeaking I'm hearing in the front are the front control arm bushings. Local garage, loosened bolts, greased them, tightened back down... still squeaky Have to bring it back to have them try something else.

Nice photos. Only thing that bugs me about this one is the lack of perfect symmetry. Otherwise

Fixed the license plate holes in grille, then plasti dipped it. Also plasti dipped and tinted side mirrors.

Ocd made me even up the passenger and driver seats

[itskohler]

It looks so much better with both seats in the same position. My GF screws mine up everytime.

My 2012 2.5 now has 93 miles.

I'm a little concerned with the noises this engine and trans makes. First off the 2.5 has an odd sounding 1000-1900 rpm almost air-cooled engine sound. Something I noticed today was in first gear accelerating theres a hard to describe metallic whine. Sound familiar to anybody?

I hope its normal so I can stop worrying about. The engine is still breaking in. I've only had the car for 2 days. At idle, the valvetrain sounds a little noisy too.

Washed it, put gas in it, took some pics.

For whatever reason, the last 2 times I washed it it came out water spotted to hell. It's visible in the shots of the Wolfsburg tag, and I could barely see out my damn windshield...

Dry it better.

You have hard water as your source then. I do too. I bought a silicone blade from Autozone and it works great.

I'll have to try that. What I don't understand is that it never happened to my A4 or the previous dozen times I washed the Jetta, just these last 2 times.

Hm Idk then, maybe its the wash soap you're using? The blade works great!

No idea, but I'll definitely pick up one of those before my next wash!

[itskohler]

Clay bar, polish, wax, then rewash and see if it's still there.

Tried to dyno my car with portable dyno yesterday at Wolfsgart but my car was 1/2" to low and hit the dyno. Oh well will have to go to a local place I guess probably for the best anyways.
