Coils. Bilstein. Just waiting for all the OEM one time use hardware... :/ And now that they seem to have solved SFD2 question VCDS.

Yeah and residue extraction from the pads. Not a straight forward installation, had to cut some of the shield to fit our caliper and on the other side(where we have our pad wear sensor) it hits pretty bad. So I need to do some isolation or that sensor will burn for sure icarsoft cant code anything. Only basic stuff, like battery registration, electric parking brake service. But it can see alot live values for ex. brake pressure, misfires current and stored, chain slap its pretty much 4 pages of data I havent gone trough them all. I use it for some other non VW cars too. It is. Its not - Had a tiny bit of juddering while doing 30, I was told I am picky but when I checked I found the misfires that wont trigger epc but still not perfect spark. So I thought to swap 3 and 2 just to see if they followed. Alas number 3 coil was way past its life span and just broke as soon as I touched it. You can see these values in obd11 too I believe.

Got these yesterday, will be going on this weekend if the hardware arrives! But first gotta fix the missfires on Tiguan Not to be OT but turned out to be fun job in heatwave. (ps. Its not a professional car diagnostics tool :D)

Well. If I had kids I would be needing to explain why we never go on vacation. Now I just got to treat the misses somehow. Rear sway bar going on today but I am waiting for RS3 dust shields before I do discs and pads. I hear these are crème dela crème so really excited to try em out!

Gotcha.! Will try em out as soon as I get the chance, but on the Bilsteins, Feels wierd doing that job twice.

Its not a real problem per say but I am curious was it on OEM dampers and springs?

Correct.! Superpro. ID#: TRC5000 (https://superpro-suspension.com/eu/vag-strut-mount-kit-offset-with-extra-camber-9995-trc5000.html) Also not seen in picture front lower static bushing to add camber but I think I am going to save that for eventual TTRS arms.

Still waiting on Bilsteins before I put these on, makes no sense to tear it all down just before having to do it again.

I do live on the swedish country side and its not as narrow as brittish roads from what I´ve seen. (visited UK once lol). Could be something wrong with your radar. If you are going to the dealers try to capture issue on video is my best tip.

Haha yeah. Reminds me. We have a regular Golf of some sort at work and sometimes when we go over, what we think are dug down power cables, the front collision system suddenly brakes and we all get whiplashes and its hell let loose in the dash board. I have no trouble with the warnings on my own two VW tho. It popped once on me in the R and I think 2-3 times on the Tiguan on 5 year base. I think its just nature of the thing.

Yeah well I was just sitting in the car the other day with ignition on and screen off(multimedia off) mounting my catalyst 2 and i jumped and hit my head when Spotify started playing in the car speakers Good song but hell of a suprise.

I dont follow. I never wanted these but if I did it would not be possible in sweden as they are not the option to pick(not GTI nor R). Thats probably regulation issue with EU. Just suprised you could get a factory car with something thats usable You can probably get them from somewhere else.

Well. Its a crossroad right now. I am trying so hard not to spin away from the mantra "keep it simple, you want to drive this car as much as you can". Did you swap your level regulator arms or just re-calibrated level trough software - cause we cant do that yet 😕 Right now on the menu: H&R springs, with rear sway bar, superpro top mounts and camber bushing. And in my mind this is simple and I can restore it to OEM if I get tired and not lose to much money. I dont think my track times are limited by the oem dampers as much as experience. Car is fast enough, but needs to shed some weight and body roll. Or go full bananas with either KW V2 or R&T with dcc cancelation. I like KW cause of the top mounts. And its a track car so I dont really mind the stiff ride. But that means plunging a 10% of cars value on like a day . I do need brake change and new tyres. Edit: Cancelled the H&R springs ordered Bilstein Evo S and DCC cancelation kit

Just got the car back from shop. I must say I think I had a gremlin without knowing about it. Last year(its a 2024 September) car when sitting on idle car had tiny vibrations, no RPM dependency more then 1-200 read by a tool, but I never thought anything about it. Just before winter rest I got a check engine light. Checked the code and it was P0068, activated just after service. Booked it in now before season starts and they changed the MAP sensor on the intake(i am not aware of any other MAP so wierd to say it like that) and re-calibrated the throttle and took a spin. They did something else that I forgot, maybe reset adaptations or something. Now. Its a completely different car. The idle is like a Rolls Royce. Car still pulls the same so no improvement on power but wow. I know they wont touch the car without the CEL but maybe this can help someone if you feel the car shakes more then it should on idle.

This is very weird way to approach the problem. Replacing the module is the first step from the manual that is out now.. (so I´ve heard).
