July's dust off.
My typical intro to the build is ALWAYS: “I’ve been busy", but trust me when I say it. Unless your 3 year old Son is the mechanic, all times bet. Fam & GTI is just time sharing, which sucks when car time “Porn”. Anyways here is the update...
-Mechatronic went bad, got replaced: car feels beast again!
I tried to keep the stock DSG file, but with K04 the car is just dead uncoordinated with the new engine's power band, totally graceless: So DSG tune on!
-Dunlop Direzza ZIIs in the rain have been very good - No crazy tire degradation either as wrongly expected around 2K miles on them, wonder if the Direzza ZII Star Spec with their higher silica concentration can hold on the same… Oh (No Auto X yet) itchy for but busy schedule.
-Straight pipe for summer time: tangible, feels like 8 more HP to the mix (debatable off course for those guys into it) along with liquid happiness: 100 octane gas! Always great.
Best thing to have is been able to use it and going back to catalytic in a swift.
-At Dragway
At the local dragway, feels like I did 100 launches, (TBH were like 9 I think) like the guy on the Porsche Link, but down on power by 300+ HP and two less wheels pushing forward.
First run was the best; tires were grippy as funk -30 min. warm-up which is the time to get there
Sucked it rained before we arrived to the place, in a hotter day with better prep car can reach lower times (drag tires, not considered at the moment)
Leaning to drop some projects, take a sabbatical year with the car, No Mas! Until 2016, but hard task with the GTI, right?! :23:
To be continued...

Thanks Jonathan! :thumbsup:
It only happened twice, before take to the dealer to get it fixed. The first time (perhaps around 45’ish K miles) I initially thought it was a DSG hiccup (not tuned at the time), car went on limp mode for probably 5 min. I forgot about it.
Then recently after 100K + miles car did again, out of the sudden limp mode with roughly engaging: just bad as first timer people with a manual gearbox, - if it ever happen to you, turn it off wait 5 min. & turn it back on, it will go away Just like nothing ever happened to a point of no CEL, next step your dealer.
