good question....about it working or about then hug?
Less unsprung mass, that's it. They don't change geometry whatsoever.What difference do the B6 Passat LCAs make? Apparently it's a popular swap, but no one talks about what it actually does for the car.
It's very very minimal difference I believe. Maybe like 1 lbs? My understanding is this became a popular mod on the Mk5 platform because they had much heavier control arms. But they were lightened up for the mk6Less unsprung mass, that's it. They don't change geometry whatsoever.
I think they might too, purely going by the fact that they were designed for a car that can be up to 700-800 lb heavier than a GTI.It's saved unsprung weight. I stupidly didn't weigh them when I put them on my car but holding them in your hands you could definitely feel the difference. Cowtown is right though, it was more on the mk5 platform because they had cast arms instead of stamped steel. I do feel like the aluminum arms would provide some rigidity over the stamped steel arms too.
Unsprung weight savings really only matters on cars that see track time though, but everything counts. I've saved weight on the control arms, brakes, and having wheels that are only 16 pounds each, the difference over a stock setup is night and day.
The same thing happens to me, but I let my phone go into that “piss off I’m driving” mode which prevents text and email alerts. (I still get phone calls though. )Why do I not get text alerts/notifications through BT on my stock head unit? Somebody messages me and it’s like in silent mode, user error?
Anyone knows how to replace the cigarette lighter o our car?

Replacing the socket is really easy though. Just look up the instructions for one of the double apex buttons and it will show you how to get at the socket and remove it.Anyone knows how to replace the cigarette lighter o our car?

Its no.42 that keep blowing, what do you mean by fuse blower?
Nope, I triple check!
Thanks ! I'll look it up!
I really have no idea what's going on now other than a bad socket, if anyone has any more ideas feel free to chime in!
