one question: How many km can i postpone for 1k service? Cuz mine is reaching 960 liao, but havent keluar salary for service. Can postpone until berapa km before habis warranty?

i wish it's a DSG

and yes, you are absolutely right on the external factor.
guess what else is connected to the AT box? throttle input. and i'm WOT'ing at low rpm, which by its TCU, it will tell the AT box to downshift to provide extra torque, however as i said, it's already on a down hill and i had my ignition advanced with octane boosters to prevent knocking. about 1 sec only i'm in the redline on 2nd gear and the AT box realizes that and quickly upshifts.

remember what i said on the blessing/curse? in this case i guess it is a blessing in the sense that if it's a MT, the clutching action (granted, i'm not a good MT driver and/or used to short shifters) would take ages while on the TC, it's almost seamless considering the expensive lubes i feed it. but 1-2 seconds of wasted torque is still there from the 2 shifts.

speaking of oil visco, on the last few laps of my 2nd run, basically where everything is overheating/overheated to hell, the AT box is yielding as well... no ATF cooler, even good fluid means nothing when its oil is expanded/thinned and 3rd gear has over 2-3 second delay in shifts. was often stuck on 7.5-8k rpm on the straight despite i'm in D. it was to the point i had to let go throttle a bit and let the AT Box do its job with lesser engine pressure.

A short review on the side bar after a night of test driving yesterday.

After installing my side bar, I found that my rear is behaving better comparing to before feels like the rear and front is more connected. Before this, my steering respond and handling of the car is quite nice already but the rear seems to have a mind of it's own in following the front and sometimes sudden change from 1 direction to another direction prompted the rear to skip a beat compare to the front and it wanders too much. In the beginning I have no plan to install the side bar and I thought if I keep tuning the suspension the problem will go away but I decided to give the side bar a shot.

Now with the side bar the rear follows what the front do every time monkey see, monkey do. The front turn in, the rear just follow as it is and on corner the rear feels more settle compare to before, which previously felt a bit unsettle. Sudden change of direction is much better now that I don't feel the rear going off on it's own. Now the car is just point and shoot when I wanted it to. Yesterday main test was mostly doing corners and change of direction (situation where you will mostly get at hair pin turn and those left right left right overlapping turns you get mostly on trunk roads.) In which I believe the side bar is for.

The only thing I really hate on the side bar is the installation process. It is difficult as F*ck and I think clear indication should be label on the bar left or right and installation guide should be provided.

This is just my very layman experience and I think on next TT maybe can go for another night drive with davidke20 and let him have gave his feedback on this also.

First of all, why alignment will lari? Take a look at the picture you posted. After the adjusting nut, immediately is the tie rod. That end was secured with a diameter around 3 inches rubber. After a while you drive, the rubber get harden, more free play on the tie end, you get all sort of funny toe reading.

Take not, the tie rod is attached on the knuckle that host the wheel bearing/drive shaft/disc brakes. At the bottom, it connected to another big bar, which is the lower arm. The connection point is a big round thing, that is the lower arm bush. If this part of rubber is too new(soft), your alignment will lari almost immediately after you drove off the alignment scale.

Just incase if you still not die heart to accept the fact alignment WILL lari, here's the picture of what normal LOWER ARM looks like.

There's another 2 more mounting points that will contribute to alignment lari other than the 1 I explained above.

The above are the major contributor of alignment lari. So, what about camber? Regardless, I have previously said, camber screw are after market part for those who can't afford to change suspension bushing. Have a look at below picture, you'll immediately know why camber goes out even didn't hit pot hole. As long those numbered part got movement, the rubber will wear off/get harden and create clearance. Once clearance became significant, then it become camber misaligned/toe misaligned or both.


Ady TT with my new boifren liao
Which is why your 3AT refused to drop gear Coz your higher RPM were useless, or to be more exact it's only a noise generator after that RPM. There's a reason why they name it TORQUE CONVERTER geh The amount of fluid passing around the fins are already fixed to the amount of torque it will change gear at certain speed


Toe lari. Pergi alignment lagi. Your current alignment totally f***ed up.

Pay attention, after konar your steering will auto correct back or you need to force the steering to turn back? Get alignment guy to check whether steering bush sudah haus.

siapa ye yang hari tu DIY hilangkan bunyi rattling pd sebelah passenger seat.

need your help. dat sound sangat annoying!

try search tp tak jumpa. diz thread is damn fast.. faster then our campro engine

neway, mlm ni ada tt kah?
