What did you and your MKV do today?
Aleksandar:
Clubsport and seat delete kit installed for what I think are awesome looks and saves me 38kg 🤩

Back up and running few days ago, albeit like total sh*t.
I have a cracked hose going from the camshaft cover to the turbo, it's part of the PCV system I believe. Also have a Knock sensor g61 signal too low error. I believe it is causing the rough running and random misfires. I have -12kw timing retardation on all cylinders when gently giving it some throttle past 2k rpms. Car is definately not making the right power and I have a hard time getting up to boost (it even spiked to 1.7bar in 4th when I was seeing 1.61bar tops on the previous engine). Fuel consumption has increased also.
Waiting for the hose to arrive and will hopefully get the knock sensor changed and torqued correctly (20nm) on Monday. It was probably torqued too tight or is just messed up. It is such a bitch to get at it, below the intake manifold and alternator :sad1:

Finally got the car sorted few days ago. The G61 knock sensor was not tightened up properly. Everything is now running great, no more errors, pulls nicely. :jumpmove:
Had an issue with the downshift DSG paddle. It would randomly act out and not do anything 80% of the times. Couldn't enjoy the car properly in manual mode. A new one is like 180 eur or something crazy so we took it apart and cleaned the contact points below the microswitch. Instant response now, feels awesome having both working like they should. :party:

Thanks! Yes, it was pretty fiddly removing all those small clips without breaking them. My friends shovel type hands did not help the matter also. :grin:
