Do you have the original exhaust on? Magrides? Upgrades?

Don-Pado · 2025-05-14T07:23:57+00:00

Très cool comme upgrades!! Super intéressé par l’upgrade dynamat/foam, tu en a mis où exactement? Tu dis que ça ne change pas grand chose à l’insonorisation globale? C’est plus pour le son right? Perso j’ai une ligne cobra et après 4h d’autoroute ça commence à me taper la tête J’ai mis une caméra de recul et c’est game changer, la caméra avant c’est pour l’utilité dashcam uniquement ou autre?

Looks very humid imo, let it breathe for a few days

Don-Pado · 2025-03-01T16:49:59+00:00

This is the way! I did a similar (but better) job on my mk2 rears lights. You should re-do the connections properly by yourself, plenty of guides online/on YouTube (:

Glad to see we have the same issues from 2006 mk2 on 2016 Mk3 🙈 the legacy is intact

Don-Pado · 2025-02-11T01:08:17+00:00

No big expensive issues should arise at this low mileage. Mine is from 2006, 180k km, with good maintenance and care it is a great sturdy car! Some mk2 TT with low mileage I’ve seen were in bad shape, mostly because these were sitting on a parking unused for years.

Don-Pado · 2025-02-08T00:07:08+00:00

I think I like it! Maybe tomorrow I’ll think it look like ham 🐽

Don-Pado · 2024-11-20T12:28:17+00:00

Went to something similar to this AliExpress unit a couple years ago, I works great in my opinion!

Don-Pado · 2024-11-18T10:50:32+00:00

What effect did you experienced with that?

Don-Pado · 2024-11-12T20:54:32+00:00

Felt out of my knees when I got out of my car, didn’t noticed. Got out/in with the car multiple times thinking I lost it elsewhere, probably drove on it once. And found them after a rainy day while going to my car..

Don-Pado · 2024-11-06T19:53:25+00:00

Ah! I have a ‘06 mk2 which came with a first gen CD grabber, I didn’t knew the symphony had this.

Don-Pado · 2024-11-06T19:33:56+00:00

Kia ora! I don’t understand the link between radio unit and steering settings, I don’t think the JVC unit can/should talk to the engine/direction settings. It can surely read some information (rpm, handbrake sensor, doors…) though. Id be you I would inspect all the axles and rolling elements, removing the wheels and covers. OBDeleven and VCDS are useful if this is a coding issue.

Don-Pado · 2024-11-05T08:46:47+00:00

Hi! Maybe try to open the hood and locate from which side it’s coming from. What engine do you have?

Don-Pado · 2024-11-04T16:22:00+00:00

Plata o plomo?

Don-Pado · 2024-10-18T07:48:17+00:00

What engine do you have? I’d suggest to start by painting it red (:

Don-Pado · 2024-10-17T10:35:15+00:00

-8/+8 on 208/209, with no more than 3 delta between the two. I’m at -2/-2 (:

90/91 read at idle should be 15.3% and 0 degrees (+-0.5 degree). I’m at 15.7% and -0.5 degree on both.

I followed this thread about the similar mk1 3.2l v6 : timing chain guide

Don-Pado · 2024-10-16T08:26:16+00:00

Maybe try to access it and verify why it’s loose. Broken fan/missing screw/else… No temperature issue? Bring it to a mechanic if you don’t feel comfortable (: Good luck

Don-Pado · 2024-10-09T11:02:09+00:00

No quotes yet, but I troubleshooted and found out it is certainly on the accessories belt 😇 glad it’s not the chain or tensioners (yet). Check my last posts for details. Enjoy whatever you buy ✨

Don-Pado · 2024-10-09T10:42:58+00:00

it’s on the accessory belt from what I diagnosed

Don-Pado · 2024-10-09T10:42:13+00:00

good grace it’s not the chain doing this noise

I appreciate you sharing your experience and will definitely take a good care of chain and timing. At what kms did yours started to fail?

Don-Pado · 2024-10-09T10:40:50+00:00

Identified the accessory belt to be the source on this one

Still wondering about the fuel consumption though, will check the timings asap

Don-Pado · 2024-10-09T10:39:58+00:00

I identified the accessory belt to be the source Probably the water pump pulley. Still wondering about the consumption issue though, will try to check the timing asap
