It has averaged 30mpg over 140k miles though, and I can’t complain about that

Finally got around to putting the OEM TIP back on instead of the MST

Had some oil in the MST when i took it out. Not sure if that's normal.

The reason i did this was smoking after turning and accelerating. Not so much the accelerating but when shifting, thanks to @Der Hase , we now know that positive pressure occurs off throttle with aftermarket TIP which causes oil to do something and cause the smoke.

So took it out for a drive and although it still smokes on right hand turns, not so much on left & looks like a lot less smoke. Maybe i need to go back to AP (at least i think that's what i had originally)

Part 2 (which is no different than part 1, but with more lame commentary)

Anyone know what this part is. No idea where it came from but it definetely go back.

Part number is for the engine cover mounting clip. #3 below.

And looks like the middle tab is broken on yours.

Thanks. Haven't had the engine cover on there for a long time. I was hoping it wasn't a tab for the air intake as it moved a bit while i was removing the hose

Swapped out some 15.5k mile RS7 plugs for Ruth's.

Sanity check please...these look ok? I have to lube my spark plug socket to get it past the valve cover seal so that's where most of the oil on the towel is from. Laid out the way they came out, cyl 1 - 4.

After having the MK7 sitting or two weeks due to a foot injury. Was driving home and clutch pressure was horrible until it finally went sticking to the ground. Checked under the car and see fluid leaking where the trans in. Had to get it towed. Bought a new sach TOB from FCP EURO today. This will be my FOURTH time dropping the trans. Super disappointed that this happened.

Check the bleeder block and line before dropping the trans

defintely will look into that before dropping it.

anyways, car is going in the shop next week for a leaking oil pan as well lol. Metal Rein pan only been on for less than 8 months and looks like seal is leaking. Going to try installing the 2012 Tiguan gasket to resolve the issue. Heard they work with our cars.
