What did you do to your mk7 today?

[wascally wabbitt]

Finally tried logging via Simos Tools. Unfortunately, it's saying I get misfires and timing pull. I saw instances of multiple misfires on a few pulls. I've never logged before, so I don't have a baseline for what to expect. Car feels like it always has. Should I be concerned?

Thanks. I added another pic showing timing pull on cyl 2, 3, and 4. Is that still considered OK?

I'll do a real log tomorrow.

It's fine. That's EQT for ya...

SimosTools showed 0 to 26 misfires real fast while I was cruising at 65 on my way to my logging spot, and then none during a pull or since. Cars are weird.

Inspired by @Cuzoe, swapped the lane assist camera to the newer third generation one. Initial testing is looking good.

2Q?

2Q?

Yep. Went from the 3Q0 to the 2Q0 camera (MQB MFK 3.0).

Finished installing koni SA's with @Acadia18 and @dtfd .

Cylinder 3 spark plug confirmed not oily.

Took off the leaky wheel and put on the 5th wheel in the set. Hope it's not the spare because it's also leaky.

Today was a good day

I have seen some crazier numbers logging with Simos. What I don't understand is: VCDS does not show ANY misfires and the car runs fine. I would think there would be an EPC with some of the numbers I have seen.

Installed some Meyle HD trailing arms. Mainly with the idea to improve the impact noise going out of sunken-in (max 1“ deep, with sharp asphalt edges, vehicle speed 50-60kph) man hole covers.

Tremendous improvement! This loud and unhealthy clunk into the rear body structure is as muffled as the impact into the front now.

Pothole_avoidance _dance further more reduced. Love to hammer through all obstacles with my lowered vehicle while all the SUVs try to avoid them

Side effects: No added NVH, but improved steering connection from the rear.

If you want to change trailing arms make sure to torque them in the right position. From the factory mine were at 32mm, the book calls out for 37mm.

Yeea, right or wrong I assumed it was a false reading. Car runs great and I've never had misfires before. I want to trust it but it just doesn't make sense.

Finally got the ethanol sensor installed that I bought like 6 months ago. That fuel line on the left was a real pain. Struggled for 20 min before I hit it with a hair dryer and it slid right off. Now to get it wired up to the P3 gauge.

 

[Diggs24]

P3? halfway to a flex tune…..

I may just try a straight E85 tune first I think. If it’s too inconvenient range-wise I will just wire it back over to the ECU for when the EQT flex files drop.

I definitely dropped the 15A fuel pump fuse in the engine bay somewhere between the battery and the ECU. Have to wait until the wife gets home so I can go grab a new one.

 

[Diggs24]

Cant do full e85 on stock fuel system.
