    Remote control unit from valved exhaust

    2x remotes and control module. Was part of my valved ECS exhaust, but I hard wired it, so no longer need the remote system. Worked perfectly for the 2 months I had it installed waiting for my parts to hard wire. Perfect for some sort of custom project. 10$ plus shipping.

    Threaded manifold bolt holes on engine bay

    Those should be the long bolts holding the manifold in place. If you put in a different bolt, all you did was mangle the manifold side. The threads in the block should be fine for the original bolts. If you stripped the threads in the block, you can get bolts that are 5 mm longer. There’s...

    Low profile leather head rests for rear?

    MK6 GTI 2.0 TSI. My engine has no oil temp sensor, so where is VCDS getting the value? VCDS, Cobb, VADpro oil temp discrepancy.

    Control Module in Instrument Cluster Malfunction, looking for ideas

    Goddamn that’s a lot of codes. I’d clear them all, go for a ride and see what returns. I know multiple codes across various modules can also be caused by a dying battery, so check that.

    Mk6 Gti Bov to gfb DV

    Check the BOV itself to see if there’s a hose coming off it and trace it to where up taps in. Don’t think you’d need anything else besides the GFB and a stock DV.
