getting there.

awesome, got most of those, except the main bearings. don't think I've come across anyone running King or ACL main bearings. are they worth the 3-5 week wait?

thanks bud that would be helpful. I think I've managed to get everything that's a "mandatory replace" per the service manual. but the balance shafts? 🤔🤔 damage p0rn for viewing pleasure.

does anyone have the part number for the 6 bolts that go laterally through the middle 3 main bearing caps? I cant seem to find it on VW's parts lookup and don't have time to visit a parts counter any time soon. thanks

yes, but only if the next car has the same ECU generation as yours. a 2019 tune does not work on 2018's and below.

Thanks all, I'll assume "race" or "dynamic" modes are the 7.5 Golf R versions of sport mode. Sounds like I found what I'm looking for.

how do "burbles in sport mode" work for those with a MT?

sounds like a DMF going south.

thr ACC sensor behind the emblem is near impossible to dislodge without a direct hit to the front grille. it does self-calibrate as you drive and it is possible your car's alignment was thrown off by bumps. it will go away on its own in 100 miles or so but if not a trip to the dealer will be...

thanks, I mention the mk7.5 R as we don't have fogs at all, and retrofitting them would require sacrificing the air ducts to the engine bay, as well as running a fog light wiring harness to the BCM. what I'm looking to do is to be able to manually turn on the cornering lights in the headlamp...

a couple of tips from my experience changing out clutches on VAG cars- -a screw driver wedged into the brake rotor against the caliper is a great counterhold to loosen inner and outer axle bolts. throw a piece of wood between the driver and caliper if you're concerned about damaging the...

for the mk7.5 R folk- has anyone coded/wired the euro light switch with both front/rear fogs (5G0941431BDWZU) to enable the front fog setting to turn on the cornering lights? this is what the "fog" switch on the B9 Audi does.
