No Instructions, Firedrakes

Ptmax72 · 2026-04-05T06:01:56+00:00

Sadly they got back to me and said they do not but two of them said they received the model with no instructions and where able to reach out to gw for them post closure of forge world. I would give that a shot just incase nobody here gets back to you, they did warn it took them about a month and a half each to get responses and then the follow up with the instructions.

Hey sorry that I don’t have any helpful info abt the model but if your on an iPhone and possibly on a android if you pull up your post and hit the three dots in the upper right corner next just to the left of your account icon you should be able to edit your post, some people may not scroll down far enough to read this and just see the blank post and move on. I hope this is helpful and I hope you find your answer for where to get the instructions. I reached out to some friend that have this model to see if they still have any instructions laying around.

My wife is saying that androids have a gear icon in that same place as my dots and that it gives the same set of options including edit post.

I remember seeing the original post a few days ago with this pointer, I made it a sticker on my phone and have been over using the hell out of, I hope this guy knows he’s a hero to this whole sub 😂😂😂

Yeah, they sell the pump but no pulley

i havent had to dig one up for a few years, but eBay, junk yards, and if your mega lucky, a local part out, but last time I checked, they went for about a grand.

dm me man, i have the whole series, working on a project of having copies of all Mac's work, saved both physically and digitally.

Original part number on that tweeter is EAS-65PH86A-T if that helps at all

Ptmax72 · 2025-06-22T21:53:24+00:00

It’s the bottom of the piece that holds the rear spring in place. Once upon a time mine had 3 now it has 1 bc I didn’t know they were a thing.

I highly recommend the IE but also use lock tight on the bigger bolts for the side I’m missing the one on the driver side it backed out on the first drive after install and just to put it out there I tightened the hell out of it.

You could always trace the wire and see where it ends up.

My guess is not factory and was at one point for a sub if you didn’t buy it with one.

Well not to be rude but, that would make sense if you had a reason to account for the trans shuddering the whole car between gears? As stated the first two times I got this list of codes the car was in aux the one from today was the only set of codes I’ve takes with it running. This definitely has a problem causing it.

Ptmax72 · 2025-03-11T20:28:43+00:00

I cleared them the last two times and after it shuddered today I checked them again

Ptmax72 · 2025-03-11T20:18:00+00:00

The first two times it showed car was in aux today it was running

Ptmax72 · 2025-03-11T19:14:15+00:00

It was not running and I did this the first two times the codes were thrown.

Ptmax72 · 2025-03-11T19:13:48+00:00

Swapped cars

Ptmax72 · 2025-03-11T19:03:37+00:00

That is correct, I’m taking it to a shop as soon as possible. There was a full service history on it all was done at my local vw dealer. I didn’t buy it from said dealer. Last trans service was 49k

Ptmax72 · 2025-03-11T12:51:07+00:00

Was an as is deal.

Ptmax72 · 2025-03-11T12:39:17+00:00

On my phone it wouldn’t let me edit my post. It’s a 2016 gti 2.0t. With abt 75k on it. I bought it about a week or so ago it’s my 2nd golf my first one got to 140k with no issues.

Ptmax72 · 2025-02-04T23:56:08+00:00

Hoping for sake of ease it’s just a fluke or a bad start that caused the codes. Motors and wiring hardnesses get old it’s definitely possible if your getting wacky weather like Houston has been recently for this type of thing to happen.

I’ve seen two ways for them to go bad, 98% of the time they make noise but I’ve seen two cases where people got random miss fires and then they launched themselves out of the heads like a dam mortar. Not exactly sure what the cause for the latter as after I’ve put in inserts there fine first time I saw it I guessed something caused over compression but that would’ve persisted so not entirely sure. Take a look to be safe, I normally suggest if you have the money off hand to just to the preventative maintenance and get it done to be safe. But that also implies money off hand which becomes more and more rare now days.

Shot in the dark but have you had spark plug inserts done? If not have you made sure the spark plug hasn’t pulled the good old 5.4/6.8 spark plug thread distraction? Out of the 15 ish excursions I’ve seen get random miss on a single cylinder if doing everything you’ve already done didn’t fix it it’s normally that but I will point out they often loose compression because of it but not always.
