Give me $500 and I'll order one right up. Big Grin

If you wait until they have those large VW meetings in MD they do it for much cheaper. that's what my brother did.

How much cheaper? I guess I could tolerate a bunch of VW Bros for a deep enough discount. Maybe. Will they even let me in the show if I'm not on bags with some Mercedes wheels that don't fit?

Thats what I did. I went to Waterfest last summer and paid $599 cash. In reality, you'll want to get the fully loaded ECU and thats 599. But if you get it done at Waterfest, or a comparable show during one of their sales, you dont pay tax, get free labor and its all done by APRs techs from their HQ in Alabama (if you go with APR).

He was talking about passing on the highway... he said nothing about turning the grocery getter into a beast.

Lolz... I saw a guy in Costco last night.. "GTI" hat on backwards and tilted to the side.. His equally VW gf was rocking a VW/GTI shop shirt and lanyard.. You and Lauren better start updating your wardrobe BRAH.. :mrgreen:

I think this marketing campaign gave the car bad karma.

I really started listening for this after you said it, you can really hear it on the 2-3 shift. 8) I wonder what causes it? Its such a bizzare sound. I just found a post that listed all the Single/Dual Clutch shift times, and its says the DSG upshifts in 8 miliseconds. I guess its literally a little exhaust fart because it hits the next gear so quickly. :dunno:

Hmmm for a DD, a K04 GTI is pretty quick.

Lol, if I had any intention of dropping $4k on this car or trying to make it fast, I would've just sold the E36 and picked up an Alpine White/Cinnamon E46 M3 6-speed and called it a day. I'm still primarily a BMW nerd after all.

Still, I can't help but think of how awesome of an autocross/track car this little thing would make. Maybe if my salary happens to magically doubles in the next 3 years I'll buy a new DD, do an intake, intercooler, exhaust, stage II tune, dsg tune, real LSD, coilovers and a set of the lightest wheels I could find. :thumbup:

Still not sure I see the point in a K04 though, 380-ft-lbs in a FWD car sounds terrifying. I made the tires squeal with 226 this morning, or whatever the TSI supposedly makes. Granted that's on a pretty shitty set of all seasons, but still.

Fixed. It's an elusive bird.

Great pickup! It's still kind of crazy to me that you can get technology like DSG in a couple year old VW - no disrespect. Tongue Only dual clutch I've been in was GT-R and it blew my mind.

i think its something like ignition cut...maybe the computer retards timing while it happens too which exacerbates it. i dunno either, but its fun! :dunno:

Is yours a 2 door or a 4 door?

2.

Hopefully you're lucky with that thing. With 19k miles on the clock and my warranty just about to expire, it's already been in the shop for a total of about two weeks and at a cost of (guesstimate) $2-3k out of VW's pockets.

Re: Joey's Totally Predictable DD - SlimKlim - 03-28-2013

BJ, I know, its insane. I found a post that compared all the shift times of a bunch of automated manuals. Supposedly the DSG shifts in 8ms, which is the same shift speed as a Veyron. The Enzo's single-clutch "only" does it in 60ms.

Mike is the only issue you've had so far with the clutch? Shouldn't that kind of stuff be covered for another 40k miles? I hope this thing is good to me. I'm accepting that I might have to do the timing tensioner update or some other projects on it, and I've got the warranty on the trans which would be the most expensive thing to repair, so hopefully I'll be fine.

Actually no!

(Its just on the side of the motor wedged between the block and the strut tower...)

Piece of cake:

Blasphemy.. Nothing in the VW/Euro world is "Piece of Cake" :bootyshake:

But seriously.. Good to know you don't have disassemble the whole thing to change a light bulb.. or that tensioner.
