i'd have done it even knowing the snow was coming. i've been waiting for wind chill to get tolerable.

From the comfort of my garage had my ECU/TCU tune updated from APR Plus (low torque 91 octane) to high torque 93 octane with matching TCU tune.

Talked to the shop that did my clutch about the persistent oil leak even after the metal oil pan upgrade. He thinks it just needs to be re-sealed but I know 2 of the bolts were difficult to get in. They are the 2 that are hidden behind the intercooler piping on the rear-facing side of the pan. Not sure why as all the others went in easy, but those 2 were a pain to get in. Planning on dropping the car off tomorrow.

Yea historically my luck is always worse case scenario and they tell me threads are stripped and they have to re-tap them, or worse yet and they can't re-tap them which equals new motor.

-I may not be driving it for a while.

if they can't retap them, you'd get a new upper oil pan, not a new engine

Thanks. Learn something every day. I can breathe a little easier because I miss driving my GTI.

Forget about the beta for that.

No, used the remote tuning service device.
