Thanks buddy! I really hope so, looking back maybe I should’ve choose the smarter option to sell and buy a new one.  :thinking:

Last night, just in time, because now it is snowing, we've pushed my DSG/stock engine/K04 setup a bit:  :jumping:



Unfortunately I cannot safely push it on track like this, but it is a pretty good result. The new map and DSG combination is phenomenal.

Front splitter and bonnet vents installed, only the rear wing and the new wheel hub remains. Here's a picture with the new splitter and the time attack trophy:

Thanks man!

Unfortunately, everything is made out of a normal salary with a lot of help and understanding from my wife. We didn't have a proper vacation in the last 2 years and sacrificed a lot to go racing.  :driver: Hopefully the racing series will grow enough to get sponsors at some point.

My OMP steering wheel hub arrived:



Unlike it's Chinese copy, this one seems to have the clock spring connector aligned with the top steering wheel mounting hole, I will finally have a straight wheel:



...still waiting for the wing installation, everything is delayed by the snow... :sad1:

Those ATS wheels are very nice  :drinking:   Yes, understanding wives and girlfriends definitely helps with such an expensive hobby  :grin:

Mine has zero interest in cars, but she does like £1000 Mulberry Handbags, so it kind of balances out  :grin:

Guys, anyone knows how can I get rid of these errors and the annoying yellow light on my dashboard?
I got these after my friend replaced the last CH steering wheel control module:



I've checked every fuse/bulb.
I don't have fog-lights anymore, but they have been coded out. What am I missing? Any new leads?

Aren't those the side lamps that American cars have on the front bumper? Maybe you need to code yours for Europe? :confused:

Well it can be alot of different things mate.. Does your car have original xenon lights? - If so, then check the leveling sensor at the left rear axle..  If there's nothing wrong here then see you CECM coding (09 central elect.) and see what the coding says about the cornering light :)
