  1. I like my 5eat in the 05 with torque parameters modified in ECU. Curious how different that is than the 07+. Im sure the valve body swap in 05 and 06 5eat end up being slick..
  2. There was some method of cycling the key on off, on off, etc. and the odometer will display the code apparently. I tried it for 30 minutes one day, 10 minutes another and just gave up. My ABS + ErrSS comes on only after heavy snow/very humid, moisture related it seems..
  3. So... if it's rusting and they coat it with some aerosol can rust "inhibitor" after it's already rusting, they have satisfied the recall? If that's all it takes to legally satisfy a known problem... man I'm going to become a prostitute. That's all I got to do to satisfy people? Spray them with rust inhibitor?
  4. The gas tank seams and these brake lines are two of the biggest issues I feel people should make a bigger stink about... they're sometimes more expensive than a new turbo!
  5. I guess this retains the question of why they're becoming "obsolete" in favor of DSGs?
  6. Forgive me for my lack of understanding but just because the RPMs start to increase that doesn't mean "full" engagement of converter correct? Between shifts the converter disengages and engages clutch packs? Without full lock up it isn't a "complete" shift? Hard for me to imagine whoever first utilized a DSG in a civilian vehicle didn't just install shift kits and stuff of that nature in regular AT's. The DSG also seems to have a much higher rate of transition from paddle shift input to actual shifting. Other than having the even gears on one load and odd gears on the other, why do they transition between gears from input quicker?
  7. Any idea on times between shifts? VW/Audi states 0.2seconds I think?
  8. Unfortunately I believe he no longer does this,. There is a TransGo kit which is the same (or similar) which he made a write up for. To be honest I came in here expecting: "Best 5EAT mod.... 6 speed swap."
  9. Ironically I burn less than a quarter quart at 3k miles, but some piston slap at start for no more than 15 seconds unless cold (maybe 30 when below -5 celsius), but compression was down maybe 10% on one cylinder.
  10. Timing belt, water pump, and tensioner all new within 8k miles. It is worse when cold as well, not sure if that helps indicate piston slap?
  11. Curious how many members would walk away from an LGT that has piston slap for 5 to 15 seconds on start up.
  12. I despise electrical and computer stuff. It's difficult for me for some reason. Definetly stands out and is pretty cool!
  13. Unfortunately not looking for coilovers as they won't handle salt well, constand readjustments for seasons, and I won't want to rebuild them after a year or two. Hoping for iON's or Epic's/Eibach's but that isn't possible unless used. Would do rallitek springs but they're 440 for a set.. Only want 1 to 1.3 inch drop. H&R seems like only viable option.
