I did puddle and door lights and LED tails no issues with coding. I wasn’t able to do the 5 times signal when tapping and all doors open when opening with key. Other than that no issues

I had those for a week and returned them. They were throwing light all over the place. In my opinion LED bulbs in Halogen housings just don’t work. The housings weren’t made for LEDs.

Hence why I’m getting the Osram headlights with actual LED projectors [emoji3]

Sorry to hear, three VW neighbors my area now using them and no problems, but been working great for me :happyanim:.
We just got back from cottage country in the rain and they make a world of difference.
I'm not cafe racer who cares how they look, just want something that works and don't have to break the freaking bank over headlights.

Drove my MK6 to take my GISP Certification Exam today. Passed! And I didn't even study.
Quickly retorqued the knock sensor bolts tonight to 20nm (15 ft-lbs) to hopefully stop the P0327 error codes we've been getting since washing the engine. Since my Son got home late i had to do this with the engine hot so not a fun job beside the exhaust manifold.

Congrats, Smart guy ! Were you rocking it all the way to the exam?

Does that mean it's tune time?
It wasn't ideal to retorque on a warm engine, but I have access to the car so little now, we'll see if the Errors go away, if not I will have to replace the sensors, before I can Tune.
This code couldn't come at a worst time, lots to do including working on the 2.0T, I need to return the damaged head to get my $600 core credit back from Deutsche Auto Parts, I'm planning to drop it off personally on my way to SC at the end of the month. After removing the turbo from the 2.0T gets me thinking about adding turbo..., spoke to IROZ about an adapter for the TTRS turbo.

They are the best when it comes to VAG inline 5’s.

Last night engine light flashed, scanned and said cylinder 4 misfire. Guess its time for spark plugs and coils. Question: Where is the best place to get em online? germanoem.ca has red top oem coils for 185 (set of 5) and boch plugs for 35 (set of 5) so all in with tax and shipping came out to 270. I see on usp website they sell a kit of red top coils and ngk plugs set of 5 each for 149.00 USD. Why so much cheaper than germanoem website?
Are these "red top coils" the r8 ones or are they just red?

I got my red tops from German OEM......I also run the NGK PZFR5J-11. I did them both at 120K. Felt improvement, but, hard to single out one or the other. I also started running exclusively premium fuel at this point. Throttle response has been much sharper.

Im @ 121K right now. Those NGK Plugs are expensive though. Unless I'm looking at the wrong site. All in how much did it cost you to do this?

I got a free shipping coupon at German OEM when i bought the coils. I think I found the plugs for something like $80 shipped from Clubplug.ca, again some incentives attached when I bought them. The NGK might be overkill. Bosch at $35 seems like a great deal.

Thanks, gonna hit them up and see if they can give me a code for some savings, I guess I'll go with the Bosch plugs.
Is this something that a noob can do (like me) or should I take it somewhere to get them installed?

haha.....I have a guy, so I'm the wrong guy to ask. I don't think it's terribly difficult for plugs. Coils are dead simple.
Let me ask you this: Have you ever done your valve cover gasket? Mine was starting to fail at 120K I had oil on three of my original coils, and surprisingly hadn't thrown a code yet. Might be worth doing this as well if your doing coils and plugs. I saw "FlowMK6" just installed an updated gasket...this is low cost. Also the PCV fix is a go-to cheap, piece of mind replacement as well.

Ya I got the MAP sensor code so I changed the MAP sensor and PCV Diaphram but days later the engine light came back on. It comes on and turns off when it wants. When the light is off I sometimes get a rough idle for a bit but when the light is on the car runs better for some reason.
