What did you do to your mk7 today?

[HKMP7]

Installed the Eventuri Intake with the Racingline Turbo inlet hose. ECS secondary filter kit.
There are a couple more thing I want for the engine bay. Any questions pm.

Not much to say about this damned thing... it's like removing a tumor from your joints - makes a very pleasant increase in pedal feel.

Looks great! I was really wanting one of those intakes but cant afford it right now.

Installed the ZunSport lower bumper inserts to help.protect against road debris damage.

Oh, and the Michelin PS4Ss are new as well.

Reminds me of the Kamei grill I had on my old B5.5......to round that look out, you should get a mesh grill to match.

Finally took my car for a real test drive after lowering it. I have an AFS error that keeps coming back no matter how many times I clear it or reset the module with OBDEleven. I've tried resetting, removing the NAR restrictions, everything. I think I may have overextended the sensor or something during the install. I removed the sensor from the control arm but maybe a step too late. No physical damage visible to it, but here's the codes

The lights work fine, cornering lights come on, the calibration procedure runs on startup and the lights are perfectly level, but I think I damaged the sensor somehow.. anybody have any ideas? Clearly it says mechanical fault but I really hope I didn't break it. I'm sure that's not a cheap part

that's pretty much the only thing that can go wrong on a suspension install that would affect AFS

what's up with the other errors?

I think they're piggybacking off that one. Nothing else seems wrong.

Edit: I think U112300 has to do with ACC/lane assist (which I don't have) and was brought up from me removing NAR restrictions, not entirely sure though. Googling that code keeps pointing me to ACC/lane assist
The trans code has popped up intermittently for a long time. It hasn't caused any issues and I've read that disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes will reset it so I'll try that next, but I'm not too worried about that one.

looks like that is part number 5Q0512521J... Pricey for a sensor. Approx $200

Thanks for the part number, I actually had it open on another tab when you replied haha

Yeah... I'm not happy right now haha. I knew I'd screw something up, I guess there's worse things to screw up on a suspension install though

 

[Navi]

get a used one??

 

[imthanick_a]

get a used one??

Looking for one now. Its kind of an obscure part so rockauto doesn't have it and my normal junkyard search isn't bringing anything up either. I have to call some yards with mk7's and take a look myself I think

Or do I take a gamble on this?

EDIT That part number is for the rear senson. I'll update once I find the part number for the front

Got my OBD Eleven, a set of Triple Square 3/8" drive and the upper 034 insert. Waiting on the bendable part (lower insert), and, some wheel chocks (fancy!) and some 1/2 metric sockets for my torque wrench. SportShifter knob is stuck in customs, possibly never to be heard from. Need to pick out a RSB, likely just the H&R 26 and find some black spray paint for the Moog end links, doubt my existing can of clear lacquer is of much use in this case.

Just received my CTS Turbo FMIC and ordered Koni yellows from BMP Tuning. Did RS7 plugs and EQT stage 2 tune over the weekend

You have an error on front left ride height sensor. So I guess it’s a DCC car then. Have you installed lowering springs only or coilovers? With some coilover-kits on super low setting front right height sensors might go out of range during driving. You removed the sensor during install, is the ride height sensor lever in the right orientation? If you swap front left with front right does the error follow?
