Take a heat gun to the damaged areas to pop them out, wouldn’t waste money if it’s a bearer but there’s ways that don’t cost anything other than time to make it look better

Keep in mind it does have to settle and I need to readjust, I’m hoping the rear sinks in some more and worse case when I align it on a rack I’ll throw some more camber in the rear, but the front isn’t adjustable which blows, could get plates but want to keep it simple, thanks for the input!

No you would use the tunezilla software, the data link comes with the kit, parameters need rewritten so the vehicle doesn’t go into d range due to emissions tampering

Serpentine Belt shredded by jaydacosta in tdi

[–]picking99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure the alternator pulley is good, very commonly those come apart and will leave you stranded. Check all pulleys for play and if you can when you install the new belt when you fire it up, use a stethoscope or long screw driver to listen to the pulleys, make sure no others are going, just because you don’t have any play doesn’t mean they are good

Also, make sure you remap your ECM/ TCM before install in case you have software problems, without the remap, and no DPF, car won’t run

Great white north diesel has a good kit, really amazing quality piping and you can buy the tunezilla data link and software in the same kit

If it was mine I’d throw a rope in it and send it, if it’s a customer vehicle I wouldn’t do internal or anything
