Thank you!
That is with the paddle not pressed, correct?
Will have to buy these after I recover form today's wheel purchase.

Did a full rear diff service on the alltrack. Haldex fluid looked basically new and the pump screen was nearly completely devoid of anything not haldex fluid.
The diff side stunk as gear oil does, but was the shade of weak brewed tea. Better than I was expecting for 213k miles but also likely 99% highway use to not surprising really.
That job sucks without a lift, at least on the alltrack there’s not much space for tools at all. Thankfully I had some stubby hex bits (meant to pop into a 12mm wrench) that were able to fit in there. My regular hex bits were too big and caused weird angles. Those POS plugs are soft as butter and stripped way too easily. Good thing I ordered too many and had two spares because I needed both.
DSG and bevel box are up next.

Topped off 2 quarts of missing oil probably burned out through the turbo cause there are no leaks.

Yeah, that worked for about 2 miles, so think the silicone de laminated so the pressure just made a new hole. Oh well, I’ll just take it easy for a while.
I just wish this had happened in the winter, not during a heat wave. ?
Dang bro…. Sorry…. Thought it would last longer than that

I think it would have if it had been one solid piece to begin with; the fact that it is made of layers makes it nearly impossible to patch. It was worth a shot, and now I know I can remove and install the bumper fairly quickly so I learned something.
I ordered some replacement couplings to use in the meantime, and I'll just sell them with the IC when the Baun mic comes in.

Installed and correctly adjusted the wastegate, now come Saturday I have a turbo to install!

Did a couple morning sessions at Pacific Raceways over the weekend and managed a new PB of 1:40.93. Feels good to improve and there’s definitely more time to be had.
I recently had to get my DSG replaced due to bearing damage that you could hear as a growling/whirring sound in 5th and 6th gear. Took the opportunity to get a Wavetrac LSD installed which has been awesome.

Yes, I repaired a buddies silicone radiator hose with Gorilla tape. It'll easily hold a little air.
Don't discount a failing pcv.

Window tints! Idk how someone can own a vehicle in So Cal for 7 years and not get the windows tinted? I mean sure they had the factory pop-in sunshades in the rear (which are cool af) but the front windows wide open like that? Man I got a sunburn driving it back.
No pics because ya know rain and shit, but it looks great with 35% front and 20% rear.
