charge voltage is the same, electrically, they are the same. AGM has mechanical advantages, handles temp/mounting/etc better.

So I think I may have found the problem finally. I did intake flap runner calibration and it seemed to help, but randomly I would still get the hang. Then I noticed that the flap runner wouldn’t always go to zero, sometimes it would hang from 5-18%. Even tho the system called for zero. So...

Found out what the clunking noise was coming from the rear. sounded like exhaust hitting ended up being the sway bar bushing slipped out. ST suspension 26mm bar, bushing material looks like shit. I flipped it around and we’ll see how long it holds before the flange tears again. Any...

found out a little more in this thread https://www.golfmk6.com/forums/index.php?threads/fuel-not-shutting-off.413317/ but no, still having the issue. curious if you have the same fuel cut point (~3250 rpm) as i do ... the fact it is consistent makes me think it is programmed/intentional...

well, smoke test turned up nothing. i have found something tho, if im crusing around at low RPM (no matter what speed or gear), that is when the consumption hangs up to 5 seconds before going to zero, feels like the throttle is still partially engaged even tho i have verified via OBD that it...

i have not yet... i guess i should but assumed that may not be vac leak since boost gauge shows normal vac and idle is normal.

weird issue i have been having for a while now, 2013 GTI (see sig), when driving, in gear, i let off the throttle and the car slows.... but a few seconds later it decelerates harder. I have tracked this down to a fuel cut issue. which coincides with the "consumption" readout. Sometimes, it...

yeah i usually buy about 4 years worth of maintenance parts. served me well getting a bunch of oil for my GTI in 2019 at 22 bucks a jug, up to 30+ now. I even have oil drain washers (copper/brass) i got almost 20 years ago from autotech tuning :LOL:, think i paid like 4 cents each, got a pack...

call this a random/stupid observation.... but prices on FCPeuro appear to fluctuate more frequently than i would expect. Case in point: oil filter for VW 2.0 (mk2-mk4) a few years ago i was paying 6 bucks... saw it was up to 9 the other day, then a few days later 8.50, next day 8, today its...

shit my pants today when looking at order history on FCPeuro and seeing i paid 27 bucks in 2019 for genuine VW red tops, and they are now 67

i was thinking maybe it was just made by mexicans, in the US :LOL:

pulled the APR summer wheels off, put on stock detroits with A/S tires... BTW, kumho tires are shit traction, im breaking loose in 3rd gear sometimes without even dumping the clutch.

Got a heater core from FCPeuro for my passat.... seems suspicious 🤔 box says made in usa, actual part says made in mexico

I havent done a smoke test, but if there is a leak, its not enough to affect my boost gauge. My idle is good so im doubtful. I will def look into the TB blades

Got beat trying to race a RS5 🤷 not by much tho

hard reset didnt change anything... its getting annoying during rush hour, as in low gears, at low rpm it almost feels like i didnt even let off the throttle, the car keeps pushing for a few seconds before the fuel cuts and it slows down. if its not a bad accelerator pedal, then its got to be...

did the reflash change anything?

i dont think an injector is sticking... mainly because the car is reading fuel consumption... the MPG in the MFA is just as accurate as it was when i was getting 28-34mpg. And the consumption value matches with the "feel", meaning i can physically feel the engine cut when it goes to zero or...

it will fit, but you will need to trim the bumper

yes, unitronic, MAF is original, tried cleaning it with MAF cleaner and made no difference. carbon cleaning didnt seem to affect MPG, maybe helped a little, but mainly took care of idle/misfires. it was done well before the throttle hang and decreased mpg was noticed
