What did you do to your mk7 today?

[mrmatto]

Same. Haven't found a solution that's effective yet. Not that I've tried, just with research.
And yesterday on track, I had a huge puff of smoke after braking hard and turning. Sucks because I was on pace for a PB and had to pit.

I’m using the BMS cc and latest revision AP PCV now. One thing I’ve noticed is if the oil level is at the upper end of “full,” I get oil slosh and smoking pretty bad. But after a few events (and presumably a bit of oil remove from the engine via the intake lol), the issues goes almost completely away. Maybe one key is to keep your oil level at the low end of full?

Can’t figure out why the input shaft isn’t happy in there.

You're spot on. After I had that incident, checked oil level to see if it was low and it was actually really high. Not sure if you're supposed to check oil level when it's hot and how much it expands though.

Do you still get the smoke even with the BMS CC?

Extracting out a little bit of oil now needs to be part of autocross prep?

I still get some smoke if the oil sloshing is extreme, but again, only when the oil level is really high. So that’s rare. Otherwise, the cc does its job.

You can put it back in after

First of all, I'm shocked that OD is different for ostensibly the same transmission. That's so wack.

Interested in seeing which features are interfering.

Parts Fiche helps, but the Erwin guides probably have all the info needed about how to pull it apart and put it together.
