There is only one DIY i can find that is still alive. I have a megan short shifter. Its already half way in. I just don't have any instructions and i am kind of at a loss as to where i go from here. Does this shifter change the way my reverse gear will be engaged? I mean will i need to pull the trigger up to go in reverse or will i still push down? Does the spring that came with the kit go under the sleeve or above it? Sounds confusing.

View 5 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Installing Remote Start System?
I'm getting a remote start system for Christmas and I'm looking at how to do the install myself. I know you need a bypass and an extra programmed key for the system to work. This is my problem, My car only came with one switchblade key so I would have to get one made. Basically if I do an immo defeat on my ecu which is tuned (not sure which company a po did it), will I be able to do the remote start without having to use a bypass and spare. Essentially if I do an immo defeat, in order to start the car they key would not have to be programmed, just laser cut, correct? Is it possible to do an immo defeat with vagcom or do I have to get a tuning company to do it. The car is an 01' gti AWW for reference. I'm planning on going gonzo stage 2+ in the Spring so I'm thinking about just waiting until then and getting the immo defeated with that, if it works with the remote start.

2001 MK4 GTI VR6 put brand new coil pack, wires and plugs in the car because it was misfiring. Was fine for about a week than I got a clogged cat code and could feel the affects. I now have no cat, no resonator, and no muffler. The car is finally driving good and then the check engine light came back. It says only a misfire in Cylinder #3 and when accelerate hard to speed up my check engine light starts to blink until I stop accelerating hard. So my guess is the clogged cat caused that cylinder to misfire but I do not know the actual solution to this. My EVAP hose is semi-pinched and when u squeeze it you can almost kill the engine. The weirdest thing of all is this: driving normal I shift in between 2000 and 3000 RPM and once i get into 4th gear about 2000 RPM......my car starts shaking badly and i feel like my engine is going to fall out. I have searched and the only thing i can think of is a bad injector...

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Steering Wobbly Offset
I have a 2004 f150 heritage Super Cab Xlt with the 4.6. It has a fabtech 6' suspension lift on it. And 315/75/16 BFG A/T KO tires. I replaced inner and outer tire rod ends. Steering Box and idler arm. Replaced rotors and brake calipers on the front and brakes. Replaced rear rotors and rear brake calipers.
Now to the point. Lets say the road steers to the left. I have to steer the wheel to the right ad left in order to stay within means of the lane and stay straight. If I am driving on a straight road I always have to have my steering wheel held to the right in order to stay straight. So lets say the road starts turning left. I have to keep the steering wheel held to the right then slightly left.
But I can't just steer the wheel left or right. It seems that it has to be a special way of steering the truck. I have had tires rebalanced and many shops have said the truck is within alignment specs. It always seems that the steering wheel has to have a offset. Could something else be wrong with the truck ? frame ? u-joints ? Steering wheel column ?
Prius (Gen 3) :: 2010 Radio Station Buttons Are Mapping With An Offset
A new problem with the navigation system display on our 2010: the radio station buttons are mapping with an offset.
In other words, I press the top left preset button, and get the radio station two positions down. If I want the top left station, I must select an area well above that station on the touch screen.
Is there a way to reset the touch screen so that it maps correctly?
Golf/GTI VI :: Flutter After Installing New DV
I installed the pierburg revised DV yesterday because my old DV was shot, squealing and leaking boost. After installing it I noticed that when i'm under around 15 psi and i let it build up that I get this flutter I didnt have before. I assume its the wastegate but I haven't heard it prior to installing the new DV so my fear is that its the valve no circulating and its putting the unused psi back through the turbo (not good).

-I currently have a CTS turbo intake, 42DD turboback and installed the Autotech HPFP. After we installed the HPFP and drove around the block I threw a CEL. (not sure the exact code # ) but it was related to the cam shaft.
We were unable to upload the 2+ tune because his computer which has his APR info is under repair. My guess is that I am throwing a CEL because I upgraded the HPFP but do not have a tune for it yet. Who else has installed a HPFP before getting the tune?
