    P0101 and wonky fuel trims....

    Okay, ever since going to v3.1 K04 file, putting in the 3bar MAP sensor, I've been getting sporadic p0101 codes. It never, ever runs weirdly or stutters or anything. Just the CEL, which I clear with a handheld if I'm on the road, or with VCDS if I'm at home. After sitting for months due to...

    Can't go to 93 or 100 tune on APR k04 v3.0?

    I just tried to switch back to the 100 tune, from the 93 tune that I've been on for about a month, and it won't go. I have Stock/91/93/100 as choices on the APR setup. I had to replace the FX350 disc with the SB drop-in because the 350 was slipping fairly badly with ~12k on it. Anyway, I started...

    Dyno'd the krautmobile...

    Went to the Leukemia fund raiser car show with several fellow local VW/A-oo-dii owners here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I dyno'd (DynoJet) the blue beast. Videos: 61* outside, 29.31in-Hg, 33% humidity, STD 1.01 Run1: 246.00hp/285.86ft-lbs Run2: 250.76hp/288.03ft-lbs Run3...

    and this is why I took the fire blanket out

    Every car there should have started playing Nelly's "It's getting hot in here...". LOL!

    Golfmk6 Expert Nominees

    Grambles is pimptastic, fo' sho'! There are two posters who continuously post vids of races, 1 from Miami and 1 from Indy. They should get some props, too. Can't remember their names off the top of my head, though. :(

    MW3

    Is this going to have the same bullshit multi-player crap from the last couple of CoD's? With planes and shit and all the up-leveling that gives you ridiculous "mods" like super speed, etc? That killed the game for me. Is it also being done through Steam (on the PC)? I hate Steam.

    Check front right side light message - sporadic.

    I got my DRL's VAGCOM'd to the fogs a few months ago, and ever since then I get the "Check front right side light!" message on the screen with the lightbulb idiot-light on the dash when I actually turn my headlights on. I only get this once in a while, and it doesn't matter cold/warm outside...

    The Internet: Serious Buisness.

    Does "buisness" = business?

    Candid convo with VWoA Today.

    Unless you instantaneously lose all mass in your ass, and don't have your seatbelt on, it's not going to kill you even IF they hadn't fixed it like you say they have. Simple physics. Also, how in the blue blazes would the seat not latching down properly (which WOULD piss me off) cause it to...

    2011 VW Touareg

    Nice. Wouldn't be against getting one of these in the future.

    2012 Eos gets the GTI engine

    Those HID lights are already on the MkVI. I have them, "bi-xenons". They move with the steering wheel, too. :D

    2012 Eos gets the GTI engine

    Some chick bought one at my local dealer the other day. Turned in her leased one, and bought a brand new 2011 (I think). It was >$40k from what my salesman - that sold it to her - told me. HOLY CRAP! That's a lot for so little car.

    APR stage 1, trying to load stage 2+....

    I am at the shop, having a custom 3" turbo-back built from scratch (pics will be posted later on the other thread) and was also trying to have the ECU flashed, via OBDII, to upgrade to stage 2+. When hooked up, we got several instances where it didn't initialize the ECU (first stage of 7 in...

    APR Stage II+?

    Okay, as I posted in another thread, I recently added water meth and bumped up to the 100 tune on my Stage1 from APR. Now, the APR site has dyno graphs and power listings for the Stage1-stock/91/93/100. Power (HP) 200 HP 250 HP 254 HP 273 HP Torque (LB-FT) 207 TQ 294 TQ 297 TQ 337 TQ But...

    Saw a new A8 at the local country club /w window sticker! Got pics and pricing info!

    $~90k for that? I'd give them $60k, but $90k? Yeah....no.
