On my way to work I had the wipers on at low speed. When I came to a stop light the engine stopped and the wipers switched to intermittent automatically. When the engine re-started, they went back to low speed.
I found the headlights to be nice and bright and cutoff at distance down the road seemed pretty good.
Just changed out the original plugs in my 2014 Ed30 GLi at 58K and totally agree with the other observations here. The idling has improved tremendously and the general over all performance of the car is back where it should be.
I bought a cheap 2005 mercedes with a burned out headlight. I took the front bumper shell off (kind of a pain), then swapped parts to determine a ballast was bad. I cross referenced part numbers and bought a VW ballast on ebay for $55. Put it all back together and all is good.
As for the r32 rack, definitely quickens the steering. The swap really isn't very hard if you are already dropping the subframe for whatever reason.
Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.
using the correct.r32 ball joints with the r32 spindles improves steering ease and feel. Too bad the modification is such a pain in the butt to make them fit the regular mk4 control arms.
Today I thoroughly went through and around the block and finally found a leak which is common on the back side of the valve cover and sourced it all the way towards the front corner that’s hidden in the opening between the valve cover and timing cover so needs a new valve cover, and possibly a new coil as cylinder 1 was mis firing and probably from the oil getting onto the coil
I looked at my wife’s Tig and they look bad as well only 3900 miles.
I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.
