Jed's MKIV .:R32

[JedR32]

I've owned the car for just over a year now. And have loved every second of it!!!! ... Other than finding out the guy before me treated it like rubbish
This has meant I've had to spend a fair bit on maintenance unfortunately, but it's all worth it for a car like this
She's done 155,000km ish now and is on the mend.

I figured since I now have a set of V3's in her that I better start up a build thread for the mods that will follow in due time. She also currently has an HPA Competition Haldex Controller fitted
Oh, and the flapper mod. Of Course! haha

I don't own a decent camera so nearly all the photos are from my iPhone, which kinda sucks but oh well. Just more reason for other people to take good photos of her! hahaha

Now that Coilovers have been fitted Just today in fact, and loving them so far! Unfortunately only a crappy iPhone pic though

Nice Jed. Good to hear the old girl is getting treated correctly and getting some nice upgrades.

Keep up the good work.

Haha thanks mate. Yeah she needs a bit of love to recover from the previous bloke :(

Do you have two or one set of adjustable rear control arms on your beast?

[AAAH32]

Nice to see a build thread Jed!

Congrats on the coilovers, wish i had that coin laying around haha

The silver is growing on me i must admit.

More pics please! :D

[kendog]

Nice to look at and I'm sure It's even better to drive!

I might have missed it, but is it your daily drive?

[JedR32]

Yeah they involved working a lot of 7 day weeks at the same time as full-time uni. But all worth it :)

And yes she is my daily drive, and she does a very good job of the commute and lugging of things around etc.
A very impressive all-rounder I must say!

[Speed]

May I suggest a vinyl wrap on you "b" pillars to get rid of the silver.
Will look cleaner and I suggest vinyl as it can be removed later without damaging your original paint.

Maybe black or carbon fibre???

Nah, I had a look at it. It looks nice from a far, but up close I think it would look terrible because the B Pillars are quite different depth wise compared to the glass

[Speed]

Guess its a personal preference. Sweet ride dude!

I agree, but I'd just mask it well and spray it with black plasti dip. Bam, done. Peel it off if you don't like it later.

Look at how well the 'pillarless' look works on the other golf in the photo...

I didn't even notice that! Haha TBH it's actually kind of converting me on it. I might try it if I can find some time, see how it goes :)

[Speed]

Maybe very ghetto but if you just want to see what it may look like, stick some black electrical tape on it, stand back and have a look.

[Back Door Shenanigans.]

I Agree with blacking the b pillars makes it look smoother. That and removing the rub strips but thats a bit more messing around. Check sig for what it looks like

[kendog]

Also, it will obviously look a lot more 'seamless' with tinted windows, but that's another decision.. And I don't mind the un-tinted clear windows for a change.. Kind of works with the silver body.

[Speed]

Mine looks pretty seamless but my car is black. lol!

[JedR32]

Mine looks pretty seamless but my car is black. lol!

The black may have something to do with it! XD haha

[remy]

Maybe get a can of Plasti Dip and give it a try...if it looks **** you can just peel it right off :)

So how low did you go? 30mm?

[JedR32]

So tonight got the car back all fixed from Mike at P&P. All electrics now working again!

BUT!... there is always a but

I have a creak then clunk noise coming from the rear right hand corner
It seems to happen when weight is transferred off this area, not onto it. Is that kind of noise within the normal parameters of coilover noises? Or should I worry my ass off?

Cheers,
Jed

[Big_M]

What electrics weren't working ? Something simple ?

Not sure on your noise. Can't say heard it with mine.

[JedR32]

Umm boot latch was shorting the central locking, interior lights, power windows etc.
Turned out all my wiring to the boot was ****ed, so I got that all replaced and all is well again in the electrics department :)

So your coilovers make no noises?

Jed

[Big_M]

Wonder why your wiring was in a bad way !

Noises, the odd time depending on the angle of attack when going up or down drive ways. A little creak is all. No clunking noises but.
You got a rear bace fitted ? Like the old TST bace ?

I dunno, the guy before me treated it like absolute S**T so none of it surprises me haha.
Yeah, hopefully someone will know what could be causing it. I don't have a rear brace though

Yeah that would've been me. My girlfriend lives near there so I'm around that area a fair bit haha
thanks :) Needs a wash badly though!

Jed

[JedR32]

So it seems that the creak noise only happens at low speeds but the clunk happens anytime the weight is shifted off the right rear corner :S
Any ideas what could be causing it?

I have a squeak in my front suspension, and from looking around on the net trying to diagnose it it seems one common problem for MK4 noises might be the rear seats and interior lining. Might be worth checking out any loose bits.

how old are the coils? you might have some damage or age issues with some of the rubber/nylon mounts. whilst under pressure or weight, everything is compressed, and when the weight comes off the loose mount does its thing and you get a squeak and/or clunk

[JedR32]

Two weeks old haha. I took it into my mechanic again (top bloke BTW) and he did a once over if it again and we found that the clunk is just the actual coils of the coilover springs moving on themselves under sudden weight transfer, which is normal. And the creak were from the new control arms being of a rose joint style? So no rubber bushings to stop sound transfer etc.
So all is well :) haha

Jed

[JedR32]

So I finally got my arse around to doing a test fit today ;) hehe
I personally love the look of them, other than the fact that the tyres I currently have on them are 45 profile :(
Excuse the crappy iPhone pics guys haha

Awesome fitment and wheels Jed. Perhaps a set of front & rear spacers??
I love these cars, wish I had one seriously.

[JedR32]

Haha unfortunately I am not willing to risk losing my insurance over a pair of rear spacers :( Despite the fact that they would look awesome lol

It'll be fitted up with the help of a mate on Friday afternoon. So hopefully it'll be on for Happy Laps on Saturday morning :D

Only problem is... it didn't come with a cold air feed pipe/tubing :( All the pictures suggest it would. BUT apparently not an included part and cannot be bought separately.
So what do you guys think I should make a Cold Air feed out of? And where do I buy the stuff from?


Jed

[team_v]

Silocone piping from Supercheap/Autobarn/Repco/Bunnings?

[JedR32]

Yeah I had a look at super cheap and its crazy expensive from there and probably not quite as wide as I'd like it. Might see if bunnings or someone has it :)
Anyone know where I can get that flexible tubing stuff from? I saw someone with it a while back, was quite thin from memory but heat resistant. I think it may have been 'Aerograde' or 'Aerospace grade'... not sure though

[team_v]

Hit up Gavin and see where het gets his from?

[JedR32]

Great idea!

[JedR32]

So last Thursday night with the help (slash he worked, I supervised) of 2000MN I installed my Simota Racing Intake. What a noise!
It sounds great to start with, nice and bassy induction noise. You can't hear it below 3000rpm or under half throttle, which is great for when you're cruising around etc.
Currently I'm just using the stock air feed pipe, however soon I'll replace this with flexible tubing to draw air up from the passenger side from bumper grill.
I've also noticed a slight increase in torque and a big increase in response ;)

Very happy with the purchase, it looks great too mind you.

[Big_M]

That looks a bit flash Jed ;)

[JedR32]

Yeah anything Carbon Fibre gets you an instant 20KW ATW :P hehe
It sounds nice, and for the price I think it was a reasonable option. Definitely helps the engine breath more and response is greatly increased ;)

[dubster99]

How much did it cost? Do these work for a 1.8t engine?

[JedR32]

About $400 I think from memory from PPCGB (inc. shipping)
And yes I believe they have an option for the 1.8t engines, but not 100% sure. Check out PPCGB's website, I'm sure you'll be able to find something on there :)

[JedR32]

Okay so, I've been a bit slack over the past while regarding this thread.
Not a lot has happened though so not much to update.

Car is booked in on the 16th of September to get a new front bumper and get it shaved. Then i'll be ordering personalised plates (classic Euro most likely). Ordering camber plates, fluid dampr, stainless lines and dogbone bushes right now.
After this is all done I'll be looking towards exhaust, tune, new rear bumper and roof, and side skirts. But this and Brakes are a 'in the next 18 months' style plan.

And here are some photos of recent!

Ooft. Staunch. I love the tough appearance and hunkered down stance at the moment you're achieving with the KW V3's Jed. Have you got any photos during the process of cleaning the inside of your wheel arches? I wouldn't mind having a crack at doing mine myself if you could explain the procedure. Number plate delete on these cars makes a big difference, IMO :D Add a Cupra R lip to your order...

I think I do somewhere, but Corey (2000MN) actually did them for me when he did the detail. And he did a sensational job on them. He found a redback spider behind one guard lol. So best to speak to him regarding the process as he has done it on his guards as well and has photos of that too :)

Haha thanks for the comments mate, the rear will be going lower when the camber plates go in and the car gets a realignment.

I received some more goodies today ;)
My car is also currently in getting a brand new front bumper and undertray at Hadwen's Prestige. Hopefully I'll get the car back tomorrow arvo, then next Friday it goes into Prestige & Performance to get all these goodies fitted, a service and a wheel alignment.

So in the goodies below we have:
- GroundControl Camber Plates
- Fluidampr Harmonic Balance Crank Pulley
- Polyurethane Dogbone Bushings
- Stainless Steel Front & Rear Brakelines

I'm super interested to see how much of a difference the Fluidampr makes!

No I haven't actually. I've heard pretty good things though. Ultimately I would use Exclusive Auto Centre, but they are stupidly expensive and this new bumper is out of my own pocket not insurances...

Looks awesome mate!

Where'd you get those camber plates from?


I was looking at getting some Silver project ones but have to get them from Europe somewhere

I got them from USP Motorsports with all the other bits. They're always great to deal with!

I'll make sure I report back on them for you Matt, if you come down to Byron :P

[robbie]

Any updates Jed?

I was reading a page back that you had a new front bumper lined up for your MK4 R32.

[JedR32]

There are actually Robbie. On Thursday I picked the car up with a new front bumper and under tray, without the number plate bracket on it of course! Just iPhone pics for the moment. But in the following weeks there will be a cupra lip going on as well as personalised number plates as far as visual goes. So hopefully she'll be looking schmick soon enough :)

[robbie]

Much better looking now with front number plate bracket shaved Jed. They did a fantastic job on the front bumper I must say by looking at the pictures. You will need to remove the front under tray in order to fit the Seat Cupra R lip spoiler.

[Billecartz]

How much was the front under tray?

Mine is on the way out and needs replacement.

[JedR32]

Yeah, I'll remove it to fit then reinstall it as it is great for a bit of scrapage protecting as well as helping with aerodynamics at higher speed.

It's part number S1J0825231 and is about $550ish from VW (when my panel beater sourced it through them). So it's not cheap for a piece of plastic haha

[robbie]

Easiest solution would be to remove your front under tray to avoid having to hack it up for the Cupra R lip to fit. With the under tray off, you can see how the splitter will fit.

Not great. Not great at all. The spring perches were the wrong size as it turns out my KW V3's are actually linear 60mm race spring style in the front. Some people I asked said they were stock size. So I will have to reorder the bottom part of the camber plates unfortunately. And the Fluidampr crank pulley is not on yet as my mechanic did not have the correct tool. Apparently the torque setting is hugely different than that on the 2.0s and 1.8s etc. So he has that on order and it will go in again once the new Camber Plate bottoms arrive :(

Which spring perches do you have, I have weitec gt which are essentially kw v1 and have two spring perches. The previous owner had bilstein pss10 and had them made to suit the car. I'm happy to do a swap if they are likely to fit yours?

AMAZING!

They are very comfortable on the street and completely transformed the feeling of the car even in the moderate settings I use for the street. When I firm them up for the track they are also great. The adjustability is awesome as on the really hard settings I use for track stuff it is pretty uncomfortable on S++tty Brisbane roads. I would highly recommend them.

I hope that helps with your decision Robbie!

[tomtom_r32]

+100 for KWs V3's.

[ffoff]

Yep I'm stoked with my v3's. Only issue I have is they've got about 20mm left on the threads and it's not nearly low enough for me.


(In before I get called a douche for wanting to lower my R32)

(In before I get called a douche for wanting to lower my R32)


KW do offer lower springs to suit the rear shocks of their coilovers. The fronts should have enough in them to lower it to a nice height. If you want really low I guess you could pull out the front helper springs but I'm not sure what sort of ride quality you would get after that.

[ffoff]

Yeah I haven't really bothered experimenting yet cus I still need adjustable arms and camber tops, but after that I'll be having a play.

Didn't know about the shorter rear springs though! That's cool!

Didn't know about the shorter rear springs though! That's cool!

Definitely worth having the adjustable rear arms, I need a second set for mine since I've lowered it. I didn't know about the springs either until JIG from vwgolf.net.au mentioned them in his thread. Certainly something I want to get myself someday.

[robbie]

Thanks for the advice fellas!
Who did you purchase from Jed? I have a guy who's quoted me $2300 shipped to my door for KW Variant 3's. Would you say the ride quality is much more comfortable and compliant compared to the stock suspension?

I heard that KW offer the option of having lower springs that can further drop the car by 20mm-25mm. Would it be possible to wire up a switch where I can choose between comfort and sport settings?

I purchased them through Mike Weber at Prestige & Performance (my mechanic also) they were on special. $2300 to your door is a great price, although local support is also good for peace of mind (maybe give preeny at tpr engineering? a call and see what he can do as well). The ride quality improved for me - more progressive. So I feel all the bumps but it is less crash and bash on big ones. My shocks were pretty tired though when I replaced them.

Lower springs wouldn't be a bad idea, especially if you want that 'stanced' look. No, it wouldn't be possible to wire up a switch as they are a manual adjustment. DDC is KW's electronic adjustment kit. I'm not sure if they make an off-the shelf option of this for the R32 (they may be able to do a custom one though if they don't). Adjusting means jacking the car up, taking off the wheel and turning the dials.

[robbie]

Shoot me a PM Jed with the price you paid for the KW V3's through Mike @ P&P. I am yet to get a quote off Chris Preen @ TPR Engineering, knowing that it's important to support the local dealers. Is there a price gap between the V3's and DDC version?

Appreciate all the insightful info guys! :toast:

Robbie, I don't think there is a DDC version on the Mk4s.... You can step up into a set of clubsports but they're around the 3-4k mark from memory.

[JedR32]

Yeh, no DDC for MK4's anywhere that I've seen...

[JedR32]

It looks as if my new correct bottom part of the camber plates to suit my coilovers may in fact be the incorrect part... Can someone clarify for me? the new part is the part not ziptied together.

the new part you received isnt like an adaptor of sorts? do the amber plates sit on top of that new part at all?

[JedR32]

As far as I can tell it doesn't fit... I will try and test fit it tonight though. I don't think it would from what I've seen, but there's always a first.

[ffoff]

it almost looks as if the new part is an upper spring perch or something, that's my thinking anyway.

Yeah, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to mate to the camber plates. Which I hounded who I bought it off about making sure I was getting the correct part (replacement part).

[14nce]

That sucks man! It's bad enough waiting for parts in the first place let alone the replacements for incorrect ones

[JedR32]

Yeh I ordered the wrong size, now an incorrect part that I'll have to wait for again :( Hopefully it gets sorted tonight, I might give them a call

[JedR32]

So this arvo I discovered big problems :(
I was driving in the city and pulled over to pick my girlfriend up. While sitting there for a few seconds the car started to vibrate really badly. I didn't know why so I gave it a rev to see if it would calm the idle down. It didn't. I turned the car off and then on again and that didn't help either. It sounds like a WRX boxer engine :facepalm:

Here's some footage. It is a lot more exaggerated in real life than in the footage but hopefully one of you wise gentlemen can give me some clues as to what's happening :(

Any ideas guys?

Cheers!

[JedR32]

No ideas guys? I know someone out there will know how to solve this! :)

[Lynchy]

Had a look at your exhaust mounts?

[JedR32]

Had a look at your exhaust mounts?

No I haven't but the spark plugs were filthy on cylinder 1, 2 and 3 so we replaced all the plugs. It stopped misfiring after that, but then all of a sudden halfway through a drive it started sounding like a WRX again :(

[ffoff]

Wouldn't be a coil pack?

[JedR32]

Yeh I think it could be. We found the same cylinder misfiring again and when we looked at the coilpacks cylinders 1, 2 and 3 all had small bits of corrosion on them. It's either coilpack, coilpack harness or injector we think... So gonna see if VW will replace my coilpacks tomorrow under the recall scheme as mine were never done. I'm not sure if mine were actually ones that needed doing though. So we'll see...

[2000MN]

Jed, you'll have to call them with your VIN first and see if yours will be covered. You'll still have to wait for them to order the parts anyway... :(

Try and pull coil 5 & 6 to check them if you already haven't.. Did you catch up with Erin to scan the car?

[JedR32]

Yeah Erin and I were working on it all day. We pulled all the coils and changed all the plugs. 1, 2 and 3 were corroded a bit 4, 5 and 6 were fine. You reckon they could get it sorted by Tuesday? I'll have to drive her tomorrow regardless as I have assessment at uni, no public transport to get there and noone to drop me :( devo

[2000MN]

Hmmm,

I don't think the plugs and coils are the issue mate. Like I said both my plugs & coils were corroded and it didn't sound like a WRX. It felt rough on cold mornings but that was it...

I think you'll have to look further past that. Did you scan the car? Was there any codes that would point to the problem?

VW will have to order in the coil packs mate... You might get lucky if Sydney/Melbourne have some stock otherwise you'll have to wait for replacements to come from asia or europe. But you'll still need to call and give them your VIN to see if you fall in that recall cycle.

[14nce]

I would say it sounds like an spark issue.

I know on the 1.8Ts its common for heat to wreck the coilpack harness over time, I wouldnt have though there would be as much heat in the VR6 bay though.

If your not in the Recall list might be worthwhile upgrading to TFSI coil packs, would probably be able to get them quickler than OEM ones if VW/Audi dont have any, Audi told me a 4 weeks wait for 3 washers!

[2000MN]

The VR6 engines run surprisingly hot, they're even worse when they're force inducted.

The TSFI coilpacks won't work. The connectors for the TSFI coils are on the side whilst the 24v VR6 connectors are on the top due to the lack of room from the intake manifold.

The wiring from the coils looked fine. There was a strange noise in the bay around the TB region but I could determine whether it was simply muffled SMF rotational noise as Jed was holding the clutch in. You couldn't hear it over the SMF chatter...

Rev & approx L/hr were about on parr where they should be despite how rough the car was running.

[14nce]

Aw true!

Saw them listed in here as fitting the Audi 3.2L
http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/forums/f24/r8-coil-pack-group-buy-ecs-83808.html

guessing they are not the same between Audi/VW then. Theres no VW 6's on that list.

[2000MN]

Yeah it's a V6 not VR6 :)

[JedR32]

So yesterday Erin, the legend, helped me out all day scanning and troubleshooting the beast. We ended up replacing the spark plugs as three were horribly corroded (I'll upload some pics later). We also found the coilpacks looked pretty average in cylinders 4 through 6. We got it idling rough, but no misfires, though when I drove it the misfire came back. Same cylinder 3 misfiring again. Took it to Prestige and Performance first thing this morning and despite them being booked out they helped narrow it down to a coilpack by switching the coilpack around. The misfire followed where we put the coilpack.

Then I took it to Austral VW as my car turned out to be on the recall list. Amazingly they had 6 coilpacks in stock and replaced all of mine. So now the car runs super smoothly, feels a lot tighter and has a bit more go to it.

Thanks heaps to Corey and Sally who came over Saturday night and helped out. And a massive thanks to Erin for helping me out yesterday and driving me all over Brisbane to get things to fix the beast up!

[Lito]

Yeh Alan, I was sh**ting bricks on Saturday night haha

I bet your parents are wondering why you bought a car that has more tantrums and more needs than the average female :p

[robbie]

Great outcome Jed! :)

I did have a sneaking suspicion it was the coil packs as I had mine replaced under the recall

[JedR32]

Hahaha Corey! No Dad was the one that pointed me to R32's. He also enabled me to buy, and he used to strip down his motorbikes in his uni dorm back in the day (he had Baldors and the lot before he was even 21 haha). Mum on the other hand... And my female is running tantrum free currently, so her and the car take turns :P

In all seriousness she is quite understanding of my car and very supportive of my money spending :)

Yeh Robbie, definitely makes the engine feel a bit crisper which is great!

Yeah I am, mainly because a lot of the tabs have been cut off etc. I may just end up ordering a new one and selling this one dirt cheap to someone who wants to drill it in haha. We'll see how I go next weekend if I can steal Corey to come over and help with the heat gun ;)

[JedR32]

And officially have Ground Control Camber plates in now, and a lowered rear end ;)
The ground control camber plates are f**cking noisy turning at low speeds, but I can get up to -3.5 degrees of camber on both sides if I felt so inclined hehe Currently running -2.00 degrees up front though as a street and track friendly setup with 0 toe on both front and rear and both sides.

Fluidampr Crank pulley is being difficult as my stock pulley doesn't want to come off without bending tools (which it did) so Mike at Prestige and Performance is making up another tool so that he can get the bugger off and put the Fluidampr one on in the next week or so :) Mike is a top Bloke and as always today he showed it by staying overtime till 5:45 (ON A FRIDAY!) to try and sort the crank pulley issue

HAHA! Oh god... Um 4 cars, one of which went into limp mode and wouldn't accelerate. Then one lost its rear passenger brake pad, followed by the calliper falling off. So it didn't really happen that was all before 9:30am if I recall correctly. So I went to lunch at George's Paragon.

Unfortunately it just wasn't meant to be yesterday :( But my car survived with not a single problem, which was unusual haha

Had a quick read but couldn't find anything but did you say you are running adjustable rear control arms Jed?

Reason I ask is I'm pretty sure I'm ordering some this week and was leaning towards the uspmotorsports ones for the price and spherical joints.

The gruvenparts arms just seem to be priced a little steep.

Hey mate, yeah I'm running adjustable upper and lower rear control arms from Gruvenparts. They give a lot of adjustability at the rear and I have the spherical joints as well. These joints make a bit of squeak and noise as there is no rubber so you have to grease them up once in a while to minimise this :) So it's no biggy.

The gruvenparts were the main ones when I ordered, apparently KW actually have some as well. There are a few more options now from what I've seen. Gruvenparts do seem to be one of the pricier ones though. Just make sure you get upper and lower so you can adjust toe and camber, as my toe went crazy with only camber adjustment... Some people find this doesn't happen others do. But it's easier to just get both sets to start with in my opinion :)

Ahhh okay! Yep I've read a bit about the gruvenparts control arms and apparently over a little time the spherical ends get a little bit of play in them. Nothing to worry about but they just become a little noisy.

Yeah I just enquired about a price for the KW arms, but according to the UK sites they are 270 euros a pair haha.

Whereas the USP motorsport arms are $390 for all 4 arms. Think ill order them and see how they go!

Yeah USP is definitely good value for money. I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be any good, they've sold the Gruvenparts for a while so their arms are probably a copy or use the same design elements. All their other parts seem to be good as well so they'd be good I'd assume :)

Have you considered 25mm rear spacers? To me, seems like 8mm front and 25mm rear are the best combination to bring out the flared arches even more. Got to invest in some of those on your next purchase :)

Yeh, it wasn't in the best shape when I bought it. Which isn't unusual unfortunately and the wear got worse and worse no matter how well I took care of it. Although putting leather protector on it may not have done it any good considering it's apparently only vinyl :S

I actually went to Lee Brother this morning for a quote. Haha! They seemed professional and the owner (I think) was very knowledgable and very friendly. So once I work out when I'm available to get it done I'll call him and confirm the booking.

It's looking like a replacement of leather panel (it apparently is actually leather), and then colour dye the whole seat in the factory colour to match, so that the seat doesn't have a weird looking bit. I think I might get the same done to the passenger seat as well, so will have to ask for a quote on that too.

Thanks for the tip though mate! It's reassuring having someone recommend them to me :)

[JedR32]

So based on today's happy laps outing at Lakeside Park Raceway... buy Ground Control Camber Plates! They have an amazingly massive amount of adjustment, and they literally make the car turn in like a go kart. You actually have to turn in consciously slower and less to get the same results as rubber non-adjustable mounts. They made more than a big difference with front end grip, dive under braking, turn in (most notable) and overall feedback of what the front end was doing. Unfortunately the trade-off is plenty of clicking, clunking, and creaking from the front end when parking etc. But if you track your car it is well worth it!

Getting the Fluidampr fitted up tomorrow :D Finally haha

[Big_M]

Good to hear Jed.
I'm sure you'll put up with the extra creaking for the gains.
