Re: Electrical fault red warning light

sounds like either a bad fuse/ground connection or a faulty BCM. the electric system of the 6c0 platform is in cases a bit fragile. super difficult to say what it is.

Re: Steering rack upgrade from PR-1N2 to PR-1N4

I'm okay with using this topic, the info is relevant to both 6R/6C and 9N/3 cars since the front axle is very similar. Just note you're doing it on a 9N3 in your post please. Looking forward to your contributions.

Yep those pins are indeed correct for any MQB car. Will you also do the heated washer nozzles?

Re: Rear axel set up looks strange.

i got a theory, the calliper mount on original axle on drivers right was bent cheapest repair was to get these drop plates for a second mounting instead of a replacement rear axle (rear axle body may not be repaired) and a damper was either leaking and replaced (but only one, i think you should do t...

Re: Xenon retrofit BMT

Well, this is a bit awkward but okay, I'll confess. I've been doing retrofits for quite a while now and some people stood up as active members or even companies to provide either wirings or retrofitting as a service. Or a combination of both. Our tactics has always been to scare the user a bit with ...

Re: 12V inside door cards when light are on

I had a few customers that suffered from buzzing sounds on the inverter and flickering of the other interior lights. If you just put an led it should be fine. If it's a led with a power supply or inverter you might run into trouble.

Re: 12V inside door cards when light are on

on the front you could use the illumination of the window/mirror switch. i'm not sure it's a very good way of powering LEDs with a power supply.
a better way would perhaps be to route the 58 signal from the dimmer input via a new wire.

Re: Fog light wires thickness and power rating

I'd be tempted to say no, since it's not just about wire thickness but also thermal capacity of the housing. Don't do it.

We changed a few bytes for asistent driving lights, coming home, leaving home and the version of coming home.
