Gretel's build..…takes the "drink me" potion

I imagine Diggs looking similar I’ve associated that with him so many times lol

Really. I think he looks like Aliens dude

Hmm, interesting. We should create a poll on this to see what everybody thinks.

My build has stalled badly….. I’m amazed I even have an update. Part of my larger handling/braking desires, was finally able to snag a front isweep brace and just got it installed.

Aaaaand discovered my water pump has been leaking… yay. Time for the warranty call…

I was wondering what's been going on with your build since it's been a while that you posted anything.

Yeah….house issues, college crap, etc. for some reason, my bbk funds always goes to maintenance and other crap

So get to get the water pump replaced under warranty…finally leaked enough and left enough dried residue on the oil pan to prove it to the dealership (49k miles). Bonus was having a local VW club member do the work and take a quick shot of the valves to check out carbon build up…..nada so far!

So the 18z BBK project failed badly….too much of a rabbit trail that is almost impossible to reverse. I’ve now begun the TT-S BBK project path using VAG parts bin’s write up…..stay tuned

Just circling back to this after your plug post. Did you take pics of any other valves besides #2 up there?

No…. That was my buddy at the dealership doing it at the last minute

I don't like the orange. Have you logged the tune lately?

The orange tint? Wonder if that’s from flash, but no…haven’t logged. I’ll whatever I can via AP, but I’m an idiot when it comes to logging

 

[Diggs24]

You put an E85 tune on and didn't even log it? Bold. Maybe I just have trust issues.

OTS tune and yeah….. just didn’t think about it. What should I log and look for?

 

[Diggs24]

Just log their standard log list. Pretty sure it's listed somewhere. I have no idea how an AP works.
