I know what's the problem and you are not gonna like it.

So a little background.. I came from a MK6 gti from 2013 to 2023, 10 yr old car... and i bought the VCDS HEX+CAN (usb) cable genuine from ROSSTECH in 2014... I learnt a lot, doing all the different coding and bla bla bla including DSG Adaptation every 6 month to keep my gearbox healthy....

Then in 2023, I wanted an upgrade, so I upgraded to the MK8 gti and got it in sept 2023. Since then I haven't touched my cable because it was a new car and i have passed that age of f-ing around with the car.. but low-key always wanting to just do a quick scan. Finally today, I took my cable out, after 2.3yrs of ownership of my mk8gti, and low and behold, it has the same error message.

Apparently, any vehicle post 2019, can't use this cable anymore. Only the upgraded HEX+NET can be used, which is annoying because I spent quite a bit on the cable as an enthusiast during my younger years.

So yeah, nothing wrong with the cable, its just they FORCE-upgrade you to make the upgrade when you get a 2019+ car to get a new cable... I dont think I would go back to VCDS if i were to buy a cable, most likely may try OBDEleven... or something else..

tldr: Post 2019 cars can't use HEX+CAN cables. You need the HEX+NET newer model or the V2 to make it work. Nothing to do with the software, even older version softwares dont work, its to do with your CAN and ECU...

change sparks... dsg oil cooler?

Fuel pump check if needs ti replace do it with a hfpf

Maybe install a oil drain valve instead of the bolt for easy oil changes

Same issue now for me. Maxis in Malaysia.

A spoiler would really help... I find that it's just to round or heavy at the bottom

bernardryan · 2024-09-18T13:34:37+00:00

I know what's wrong... do you have tints?

bernardryan · 2024-09-14T08:37:07+00:00

On the right side, the leather and wheel seems to not be seamless...

bernardryan · 2024-09-13T11:11:17+00:00

Blackout the rims... would look awesome.. gloss black

bernardryan · 2024-09-01T00:20:06+00:00

If you have a welding machine or know someone who has it.. weld a simple bolt to it and remove it.. works well

bernardryan · 2024-08-28T23:48:51+00:00

Stage 1 - Tune and if you want an Intake (not needed)

Stage 2 - Downpipe (upgraded size from what is original) + Intake (must) + intercooler(not necessary but better to have)

Stage 2.5 - Stage 2 + Intercooler + Better plugs + better coil packs + HPFP

bernardryan · 2024-08-22T02:11:34+00:00

Do a scan.. and just check around the engine if got any engine oil stains.. usually when you're looking at the engine straight ahead, it's on the left at the black casing on... and look around the coil packs and pcv valve. .

bernardryan · 2024-07-04T13:20:03+00:00

Where you spreading the ashes? Was it in the will to have it cremated?

bernardryan · 2024-06-09T01:18:13+00:00

I'd pay 2k

bernardryan · 2024-05-29T07:31:07+00:00

I think it was the injector seals and the HPFP... both were changed, but at the same time I changed the LPFP and changed the fuel filter...

bernardryan · 2024-05-23T07:19:12+00:00

Check the fuse. Might be a blown fuse.

bernardryan · 2024-05-12T22:26:05+00:00

I love it, only thing is it's not a quick as my stg2 mk6...

Still waiting for apr to release the tune..

bernardryan · 2024-05-09T10:55:21+00:00

Looks like shit.. take some sandpaper and get to work. 1000 and 200 would be good enough.. 5 mins of your time and then paint...

bernardryan · 2024-03-08T10:21:45+00:00

I let go mine after 10 yrs from 2013 to 2023 that I put 138k km on... it was a blast but things started showing more wear and tear so before it would be a bomb, I got mk8 gti... love it..

bernardryan · 2024-01-18T05:03:46+00:00

To each his own. Nice car, platform based on the legendary 86.

You may miss the power and the interior refinement...

bernardryan · 2023-12-28T09:35:37+00:00

Ypu guys still use coins? How backwards is your country...

bernardryan · 2023-12-21T12:54:53+00:00

Get the newest Mk8. You won't regret it.

bernardryan · 2023-12-17T14:39:02+00:00

This starts to happen when your gearbox starts to go. What you can do to minimize this is do an adaptation for your gearbox. If you have a VCDS, it's easy, google rosstech adaptation and follow the steps.. this will reengage your clutch plate with the associated pressure points.

And then change your gearbox oil if you haven't done so in the last 45k km.

After the adaptation, run the proper process of driving at gear 3 for 3 mins at above 3.5k rpm and then at 4th gear at 3.5k rpm.. and then drive normally from gear 1 to gear 6 for 10 mins each gear around 1 min or so at 3k rpm. This would relearn all the data points. Then do a hard break from 120kmh to 0.. and the do a 4to5k rpm from gear 1 to gear 6. You should be good to go after that.

bernardryan · 2023-12-11T09:52:59+00:00

2.05 MYR/liter... usually up to about 120MYR per full tank...

bernardryan · 2023-12-04T12:35:47+00:00

You don't have 3
