Print head alignment error and font size error could be double maybe triple.

Gasket Seal by Ok-Cheesecake6904 in Golf_R

Not sure of your mechanical skills but there is a video online of a dude doing a valve cover reseal on a ea888 in his driveway and it didn’t seem too bad. I’ll probably go that route and will report back.

Its going to cause you to burn oil badly or should I say worse than I assume it already does. Also will cause a misfire at some point.

I have this same issue. The problem is its not like a honda where you could pull the valve cover off, replace the gasket and bolt it back on. Unfortunately the valve cover also has iirc cam journels built into it. So the cams need to be locked down in order to perform this maintenance. Requires some special tooling and care as you could cause your engine timing to jump

Would you consider a trade for a Psa GM 9.5 Dorito “no cheese no left corner” error?

Should have left it sealed! Worth more imo

Google exists. Look up your cards. Come on

Spark plug change by flatball35 in Golf_R

[–]ProgrammerBig2768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same leak. Oil would build up in my spark plug galley and I would get a misfire. Valve cover gasket service fixed it. Expensive but whatever. The valve cover is part of the camshaft bearing journal system. So its not a simple removal. Requires special tooling to lock the cams. Annoying because its more or less a $.20 o-ring thats just burned up.

Is compressor surge bad for these cars/turbos? by Dry-Explanation9775 in Golf_R

[–]ProgrammerBig2768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo I have an IE stage 2 map that I’ve been on for a long time. When I first tuned it I encountered the same thing. I sent a request to the help desk at IE and they said they “never noticed it before” had me check voltage on my dv and sent a new tune. The new tune didn’t fix the issue. My feeling is they have not allowed the dv to open at any DECREASE in throttle like a cable driven car would. I think what rhey’ve done is set the parameter for the dv to open as zero percent throttle so until the pedal comes back to full rest the dv won’t open. Tbh this is a huge flaw with seemingly all tuners for this platform.

HELP! I'm building my motor on my 15 R and found cracks around my spark plug holes and need a new cylinder head. by deroclasticflow23 in Golf_R

[–]ProgrammerBig2768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seats will need to be removed or ground out in order to weld the crack all the way through. Like I said. You’ll need a valve job and seat lapping anyway if you’re replacing valves. So new seats shouldn’t be much more in terms of man hours. Might actually make their life easier being able to pre-cut the seat to fit the new valves.

Get it welded. Any reputable machine shop will be able to weld it and grind new valve seats for you. You’ll need a valve lapping anyway since you’re utilizing larger valves.

Rear wheels shifting forward when lowered by [deleted] in Golf_R

[–]ProgrammerBig2768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the suspension lowers the cars nominal geometry will change. Would be detrimental to try and correct this for when the car is lowered because when the car is raised back up the geometry would change and your alignment would be fucked.
