I'm a little bummed that the only thing that shows in the mfd in my 2011 Jetta SE is the time, outside temp, fuel, and total/trip miles.
Is it possible to upgrade to the one I'm guessing comes in the SEL?
So i recently upgraded to a apr k04 from a apr stage2 tune and I'm getting a P0101 CEL. I've triple checked all my piping, and sensors, everything is nice and tight. I did however install the turbo with a GFB DV+ using the spring. Do you guys think the fact that the spring in the DV+ holds an amount air in the intercooler that it's throwing off the readings with the MAP and causing that CEL? I was going to give it a week or so and maybe see if the ECU can adjust itself enough to the DV+ and hopefully solve the problem. If not then i guess ill check for more leaks, but i doubt there is any. Boost holds real good throughout the whole rpm range...

View 3 Repliesjust got a clutch job done. old clutchmasters was slipping so i went with a used southbend stage 2. the clutch was used for 3,000 miles or so and it belonged to the owner of the shop where i got it done. he guaranteed me that the noise was fine, but my father thinks differently. only makes noise when clutch is disengaged. if i press the clutch pedal. the noise goes away.
he shop resused my old stock flywheel but swapped out the clutchdisk and pressure plate. not sure if he switched out the throw out bearing.
is this normal in a higher stage clutch? its worth noting that all weird noises aside, the clutch shifts very smooth compared to my beat up CM kit (never buying anything from CM again) i cant test to see if it holds since ive only driven 50 miles on it
I recently flashed my car and not to happy about it. For me the car feels a little different than stock. My exhaust is louder and when I start the car now is doesn't start from high revs down to low anymore. I think I'm going to take it back and remove the software from the car. I personally don't like the feel as to stock.
View 24 RepliesI have a standard 2012 MK VI Golf (US), with the standard plastic steering wheel (no buttons)
I recently bought a leather steering wheel (with airbag and MFSW harness) which came off from a 2010 MK VI Golf TDI
My goal is to have a leather steering wheel (having the Steering wheel buttons function correctly can come later) so i am not upgrading the control module at this time....so......
I did the swap... (so i pulled the stock SW and airbag out....installed the TDI SW and airbag with the MFSW harness that came with it) all lights are off (after driving it and turning the steering wheel all the way left/right) but the horn is not working....
I hear it's a problem on the Mk VI. Is there anything you can do or upgrade to eliminate the problem ... especially considering that it goes out of warranty after 5 years.
View 12 RepliesThe 2010 JSW si identical to VW Golf MkVI in respect of interior and controls. Unfortunately TDI trim is not available with dual zone climatronic - I ended up with manual Climatic control.
I compared the climatic and climatronic panels for MkVI and found out that the back side connectors looks compatible - the only difference is that Manual Climatic has dummy data communication port (I checked it physically myself after dismantling the panel) and has only one control output socket (The climatronic panel has two exactly the same identical sockets - dual zone control I suppose).
A simple swap of other control panels will work to provide single zone automatic operation of air condition system in my 2010 VW JSW TDI?
So my strut mounts are shot and I wanted to add adjustable rear control arms to eliminate tire wear. So thinking of going with Bilstein HD's with the stock springs. Oh and BTW want to keep stock ride height since it is my daily. The only option I would consider for springs would be the euro version of the stock springs.

View 3 RepliesLexus IS 350 and I don't expect the Prius handle or accelerate like the IS. However, I have always driven import compacts that have handled well and would like my future Prius to handle well with a very tight and precise suspension and steering. That being said I will be looking to do suspension upgrades in order to increase the rigidity of the chassis and handling capability of the Prius.
1. TRD/PPP rear sway bar
2. Cusco/Tanabe front strut tower bar
3. Rude person's/Cusco mid under brace
4. Rude person's/Tanabe front under brace
5. Cusco/Tanabe front sway bar
Also considering the following:
1. Cusco lower arm bar
2. Cusco front chassis brace
3. Cusco rear chassis brace
I'm not fully satisfied with the quality of sound - especially from rear speakers. The sound from rear is much inferior to the sound from front speakers. I'm NOT looking at replacing the factory stereo.

View 14 RepliesI have the standard Audio (not Mark Levison) and want a little more mid and highs out of the side door speakers. I've already maxed out the audio settings for treble and the dash speakers are doing their job to my taste. I just think the side speakers can do just a bit more.
I don't want to replace the head unit, ad additional amplification, equalizer, nor any custom fabrication, at least just not yet. Thought starting with the door speakers would be a 1st step.
I'm presuming the FRONT door speakers are 6 1/2" (at least the mounting holes) so a common 6 1/2" aftermarket speaker would work. Just swap out. Correct? I'm thinking of something like the Infinity 6502ix co-axials with adjustable tweeters for all four doors.
Toyota gave me to much time and now I changed my mind. I was set on getting the basic model but hearing so many good things about the advanced model I would like an advanced now. My dealer doesn't think it is possible to switch out my basic for an orphaned advanced model. My basic should be at the dealer any day now.
