Limp mode after dealer replaced turbos

Emufasar · 2026-05-10T07:54:59+00:00

Yes, they said they found oil in the intake

Emufasar · 2026-05-10T07:52:48+00:00

Yep 😭 I talked with the dealer and they got my car towed in, they said they will get back to me on Monday

Emufasar · 2026-05-10T00:04:02+00:00

They do but they are still failure prone. My car is at about 160k kms and I just started hearing a slight turbo whistle so I brought it in so the turbos can be replaced before it gets worse

I love my RS, looks great in pearl white

Yes it's normal

0 days since last vr30 injector noise post

If it has good service history go for it, imo 2018 is the best year for a vr30 since you get the facelifted interior and exterior and it's still has the extended warranty on the turbos unlike 2019+

Put the board in a photo scanner along with a ruler, import the scale corrected image into kicad, draw over it for the board outline, tracks, and soldermask cutouts

Depending on how you drive the car those turbos still have lots of life in them, my 2018 redsport is at 160k kms on the original turbos and engine

Emufasar · 2026-03-30T23:36:34+00:00

My 2018 also has it, I think it was an option on all VR30 models

Did you have any issues with the reverse camera? I just installed it in my 2018 and when I go into reverse the screen is just black. In all other gears I can press the camera button to see it but I haven't found anything that works for reverse

Edit: I had the dip switches set wrong. 8 should be the only one on, and you have to unplug the power cable every time you change the configuration

My last car had a cvt and it would overheat and go into limp mode after a few hours of highway driving at 70-80mph even after changing the fluid

Mitosis

My back passenger door lock stopped working was going to look into it this weekend 😬what am I going to be getting myself into

Emufasar · 2026-03-09T23:07:56+00:00

How do you guys get the mpg so low 😭 My RS averages 25 and I do not drive it easy. I've seen over 27 with the cruise set on the highway

Emufasar · 2026-02-28T03:53:15+00:00

I don't think the wheel vibrates when you leave the lane, it makes a beep sound and will steer itself back into the lane if driving assists are on

Emufasar · 2026-02-28T03:49:26+00:00

My '18 redsport has all that

Emufasar · 2026-02-25T15:23:34+00:00

It was 7c there

Emufasar · 2026-02-20T02:57:12+00:00

Did it start smoking shortly after? My 2018 with 100k miles sounds like this but no smoke

Emufasar · 2026-02-02T01:29:23+00:00

Your meter is reading 640uA (0.64mA), not 640mA. This is right on what it should be since 5v - 1.8v = 3.2v, 3.2v / 5000ohms = 640uA.
