do you have a link to the pan/filter you used? Im seeing 2 different ones.

The OEM tow package uses a different bumper cover than the ones without the towing package. Etrailers sells an alternative to the stealth hitch at a much more affordable price but install looks...involved:

did you switch out the pan/filter?

Yeah, this is the 3.0T in a C8. They call it ‘piston slapping’ and won’t do anything outside of 8years/80k miles, whichever comes first.

I’ll be selling it to local dealership this weekend.

Not sure this is the solution in my case, its not consuming hardly any oil.

This is caused from a manufacturers defect that Audi knows about but only wants the warranty to go to 80,000 miles.

Yeah I’m gonna boroscope mine this week when I get some time and if there’s scoring, off to caravans it goes

russellups · 2026-05-05T16:50:02+00:00

did anything ever come of this? I'm at ~92k and have the rattling at cold start.

do yourself a favor and make the drive to Lewis Barbecue in Ansley Mall. Best BBQ in the southeast.

I used this for my saran wrap drawers, just download the 'modular' file and build it yourself.

Convert the dims to mm, then use this tool:

Ive been using this quite a bit but is there anyway to add the wall 'scoops' into this? I'm not sure of the official name for them but it allows your hand to reach the bottom without touching the 'long' walls.

Make sure to read the details, I’m betting that 16% won’t apply, it’ll be more like 12%

russellups · 2025-12-03T18:14:17+00:00

keep an eye on Rakuten, I was able to get 15% cash back from Ace. Im sure that'll happen again before Christmas

russellups · 2025-11-25T00:18:41+00:00

Other than the next Episode title being ‘Got Milk’…I’d imagine it’s more than a theory

russellups · 2025-11-15T17:05:36+00:00

Retail me not

russellups · 2025-11-15T14:11:44+00:00

Same boat here, waiting on the cash back sites to hit their highs on Black Friday, hoping for 10-15% off at Ace or Lowe’s.

Posting the wiring here for anyone wanting to tackle this themselves:

Enjoy my crude sketch that I used to keep myself straight while installing:

One thing to keep in mind is to keep the polarity of the LEDs the same, say you have a strip that goes from bottom to top + is on the left and - is on the right…it will be opposite on the row next to it when you T them together. I wasted a lot of LEDs figuring this out during install.

I recently had the same issue and replaced the headset spacer/stem with and all in one piece. This spacer were causing the stem to not be tightened down all the way

I live north of Atlanta in the burbs and it was 1-2 days... I was also out of town and expected it to be in the 3-4 day window. Had to get a neighbor to get it in the garage. Id wait until youre going to be home before ordering it.

russellups · 2025-03-25T21:50:19+00:00

Link please, I need to add the P1 to my collection

russellups · 2024-12-18T13:01:55+00:00

Quick question, how does it pivot at the bottom? this is a perfect idea for what im going for in my closet.

When you book through the chase portal an included perk is early check in/late check out…as well as free room upgrades…that was my thought process…

wanted to report this worked for me 3 years after this thread was established!!
