    2012 GTI Squeal on Acceleration

A squeal noise I encountered years ago on acceleration and couldn't track down for the life of me for some time, was a broken exhaust manifold stud, the one all the way to the driver side of the 5 that hold exhaust to back of head. The stud was broken off in...

    Water Pump Question

    Finally at 129k first water pump began leaking, have everything out and ready to put back together, new water pump is BG revision. My original 2010 water pump doesn't have a two pin (assuming temp) sensor on the inlet elbow (thermostat). Pretty certain as it's a sensor it doesn't actuate the...

    Wicked WRX accident

    Seen carnage like that at even 80mph, hitting anything sideways that doesn't move at speed will do a number, glad he didn't take anyone with him. Darwin award nominee indeed though:(

    The Grand Tour (James, Jeremy, and Richard!)

    Had a chance to watch it last night, pretty damn good imho. Some of the schtick is a bit old at this point, but I suppose that's part of what makes those three guys great. Awesome production level, good on amazon for picking them up! Here's to another 35 good episodes over the next 3 years!:thumbup:

    Broken Quick connect clip to fuel filter and misfires

    Well I'd be willing to bet this is my issue Threw mostly cylinder 1 misfires, also multiple random cylinder misfire, the first start up it through a secondary air injection valve stuck open (p2440 I think) and a p502a "cold start "A" camshaft position timing, over advanced bank 1. Hopefully can...

    Help Identify Transmission Part in Oil

    Fairly certain after going over everything again that it's the spring pin in the open diff that should live in that little hole. Problem solved. New races go in tonight and I'll measure the play in the diff and order a shim!

    Help Identify Transmission Part in Oil

    First off, trans is out now for a clutch, diff, and RMS job. In the process of this job last week, I dropped the oil I found this little guy shown in the attached photos to the magnetic ECS drain plug (thanks ECS for probably saving the trans) looks like a rivet or a lock pin of some sort...

    APR better get their shit together with these updated stage 1 and 2 tunes, or they're going to lose a lot of customers. Eurodyne take notice too. Took cobb long enough. Anyone else see this? or am I the first one to let the cat out of the bag?
