    SOLD: COBB Accessport W/ DSG

    For those of you have messaged me. I ran into a hiccup and it has been identified the ECU is still assigned. When I did the uninstall in the haste I did, I only uninstalled the TCU. I have made contact with Cobb who will do it for a small fee because the vehicle was totaled. So, to answer any...

    Another one bites the dust

    The car is paid off. It was cheaper to rebuild the motor than it was to purchase a new car and have a monthly payment. I don't want to steal the thread by any means but I addressed the issue from before and the only logical choice was to move forward with new everything. I also feel a lot more...

    Another one bites the dust

    Welcome to the club, just got mine up and running again. It was an expensive endeavor, hopefully, the block can be salvaged. I know what it feels like, as I literally just got mine back 2 weeks ago and have been working with EQT for a safe and reliable tune. I truly wish you the best. It is...

    Chicago Auto Pros - interesting vlog mini series on GTI engine problems.

    He probably could get a better deal. The price on the low end was supported by what the shop could source. I imagine if they source something a bit cheaper it won't be too bad. Im doing a rebuild now and it sure as heck is cheaper than all their prices.

    2020 GTI mk8

    Its OK. Honestly, not a fan of the boot. A bit too square.

    Unitronic "Support"

    My original Stage 1 tune back in 2016 resulted in EPC and limp mode. John worked on it and provided a tune that I believed was better and seemed to work better. Silently over the next roughly 50k miles and the addition of Stage 2 my engine self destructed. It is bittersweet. Unitronic is...

    SAI delete?

    Question: My engine builder wouldn't do a R motor because it didn't have SAI (UK). Without the SAI is there any other issues to look for? If it is as simple as coding it out, may not be the worst idea? A heck of a lot cheaper doing an engine swap opposed to a rebuild.

    Unitronic "Support"

    My current engine builder is convinced the tune from Unitronic led to the downfall of the engine. Ran rich for many miles and resulted in engine failure. Not too happy with Unitronic nor their customer service. I would steer clear for all of the reasons you specified in your post.

    Engine shudder and throwing codes.

    Finally have words back from Midlands VW. No fault of their own, they have been wonderful and thus far I highly recommend them if you are in the UK. They confirm 100% the engine was running excessive knock from the tune and resulted in the damage to the engine. Being NA in the UK has been most...

    DIY- how to remove/replace start stop switch

    After replacing with the new switch the car still hesitates to start? As in still having to be a bit forceful with the push start to get it to turn over? Other things to check. 1. Battery health 2. Key Fob battery 3. Alternator When I replaced the button, I also upgraded the battery to an AGM...
