^ that OBD11 shown above is very cheap. Very cheap. Almost too good to be true. What are the chances its a Chinese knock off?

Sounds like you might have a leaking injector or injector that is stuck open on cylinder 2.

The early EA888 engines are known for carbon buildup, and yes the carbon buildup can cause misifires but...

Funnily enough it's faster (for me) today, but over the weekend and late last week it was painfully slow.

You have to REALLY be paying attention to notice and you can only really tell if you come to a stop at a traffic light with your window down. There is a bit of a chemical-type smell from the exhaust,...

I would think the next logical step would be to check the oil pickup. What engine does your car have? If yours is the petrol 4 cylinder then the oil pickup is reasonably common to get blocked with...

Possibly a faulty/damaged wheel speed sensor (also known as an ABS sensor) - very common on the Mk5 and Mk6 and causes the errors you have got.

Assuming this is the issue, its a cheap fix and easy...

Another 6 monthly oil change on the SQ5 this past weekend @ 98,000km. Used my oil extractor to suck out the old oil which is super handy and speeds things up as the underbelly pan on this car has...

You could try European Car Specialists who are located in Currajong. They have good reviews.

First one that day perhaps.....my independent mechanic says he does 4-6 a week when I had mine done on my Mk7 GTI.

Try pressing the on/off button down for about 10 seconds. This should reboot the system.

This is correct. Unless there is an underlying issue already, vehicles that that are allowed to get to operating temp for a good period of time regularly are unlikely to have issues. Modern diesel...

Hi and welcome. Rest assured the T-Roc R can hold its own against the other cars you have owned despite the smaller engine. Wait until you tune it and do a few other mods and you can actually put all...

Hi and welcome Wipp. You've had a couple of nice previous cars too. The Mk7 R goes from brisk to fast with a strong stage 1 tune, you wont know yourself. What else are you looking to do to it?

Hi and welcome to the forum. These vans are great for adventuring/camping.

Hi and welcome. Good to hear you do work on your own car - its rare these days. I also enjoy working on my own cars as much as possible and within my own mechanical limits.

Sounds like a decent win on the N75 valve - definitely worth only buying genuine or top quality OEM manufacturer for certain parts. Perhaps look into doing a smoke test to see if you have any boost...

Isnt the left side your reverse light? I had a similar issue in my Mk6 R and I wanted twin reverse lights and to delete the fog light. So I bought a new rear light housing from a LHD market and...

Not suitable for the GTI because its from an Audi S3 which is all wheel drive. But as an indication of what price you would be looking at for a 2nd hand replacement DSG transmission: Audi S3 8P TTS...

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Assuming the 2018 model is the one that is $11k cheaper?

Personally, assuming they are both in very good condition, I would definitely go for the 2018 model. Only...

As far as I am aware, ODIS is required for when replacing the dash cluster due to immobiliser coding, and having to transfer over details from the old cluster (km's travelled etc). This cannot be...

Hi and welcome. Im sure Sharkie will be interested to speak to you, as he is modifying his TSI Amarok also.

Plenty of other Amarok owners on here, although most of them have the V6 TDI model.

For $2k you would be not far off a full retrim in real leather. You might be able to find a place in Europe selling that carbon fibre pattern material if you really want to try to replace just that...
