Broke it?

500 miles into breaking-in a new clutch so I decide to do a 2nd gear pull getting onto the highway. Get a lot of traction control intervention which was unusual, followed by a bunch of lights, an EPC, and limp mode. After pulling over, turning it off, turning it back on, turning off and back on again, it drives fine. No lights.

Got back on it again later but was maybe too scared, nothing logged so I assume I wasn't on the gas, only got to 11psi. Assume I wouldn't see that much boost if there was a blown coupler or something.

Cant' tell why though. Didn't overboost, didn't over rev, fuel pumps seem fine, no knock, but cylinder shutdown.

I haven't ever done that even when adding on my TTRS bbk and bleeding all four corners.....interesting
I'm aware of it from the mk4 days, at some point I'm planning to do some sort of brake upgrade so I'm sure it'll come in handy.

yeah I didn't do crap to my MK4 GLI except a larger eurojet SMIC....no brake work.

By that point in the log I had no power and was coasting to a stop. The revs were bouncing up and down almost like a cold start, presumably to keep the car from stalling out, which is why I think HPFP% was bouncing. Before boost dropped like a rock and I lost all power the HPFP looks ok. Unless we're looking at different things.

Same. I paged him last week for same reason. Really need a kit bad.
I'd love to see a listing on the site for 'Hey, you want MPI for E, here's everything you're gonna need'. No thinking for the buyer, just injectors/manifold/sensors/lpfp/wiring and all that goodness.

All programmed... finally. Hit a couple roadblocks, but in a figurative "have you tried restarting it," it's all set up.

There's actually more available buttons than actual features:
•The lower side rollers are both cruise speed +/- (left push to set, right push to resume)
•Lower left joystick is volume and left ↔️ seek, as well as the buttons above it.
•Lower right joystick is center dash operation; press is "ok."
•Horn buttons are labeled as such
•Silver toggles in top are ↕️. Left is cruise control on/off, right side is also set/resume.

Color setup is as follows (for now), disregard the icons

Replaced my bleeder block valve with one from ECS. I think the OEM rubber oring shrank causing it to slip off and cause the clutch fluid leak. The left oring looks smaller? That was on the transmission side where the leak was happening. Car is 8 years old; did the delay valve removal when I got the car. New clutch 3 years ago. Looking at ECS installation manual the Mk5/6 (and I assume 7) has a "separate" compartment for the clutch/brake fluid. When doing a brake flush I assume the clutch side does not get flushed since it's separated. Could this cause deterioration of the rubber? Fluid from the bleed was pretty dark.

Greased the Moogs.
Pax side needed 5 pumps to get any fresh grease out vs driver side needing 2. :unsure:
