White "Lion" Cupra - DSG converted track car
teo_parvu:
Thanks for the advice! :happy2:
You should try logging the pump again, that was how my problems started, but more important…
...don’t tell me you did it, you bought the new R with DQ380. Wow! That is super news! :jumping:
A far better chassis, engine, is38, more refined, just wow... Best of luck with it!

They are very good oils :happy2: I always had good luck with this and it's reasonably priced - https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwivh5evuqjaAhUMJMAKHYLxBQUQFghjMAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.opieoils.co.uk%2Fp-68898-fuchs-titan-race-pro-s-10w-50-ester-fully-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx&usg=AOvVaw0YQApCaUyPfbD4qOR9z7sq
So you have an external oil cooler? Maybe that could be causing a pressure drop? You could try bypassing it and see if the pressure comes back to normal?
I do wonder about these aftermarket HPFPs. I have a Loba pump, 3 years old now, and I also get really bad flat spots around 2000rpm. I haven't logged the rail pressure yet but maybe the aftermarket pumps just aren't as well made as OEM and don't last? Not sure!
Glad you like the DSG :smiley: I like it too, especially the latest version in the MK7.5 :laugh: I hate it in auto mode though, it's always trying to find top gear too soon and when you kick down it seems to take too long to find the right gear. If only there was a way to lock it to the paddles only!
Good luck with the problems mate, I'm sure you will sort them all out :happy2:

I have my DSG locked to what I do with the paddles/gear lever when in Manual Mode. It just down shifts by itself. It never up shifts. You can have that with a remap. Also, no kick down if I press too much the accelerator. :wink:
I only drive in Manual Mode but I do rarely use the gear lever when turning the wheel too much and needing to change a gear.

I’ve lately used the DSG in manual mode too, the only problem is when the wheel is too turned. I still have trouble with the stick because it is unatural to shift exactly oposite to a secvential, but I’m slowly getting used to it.

A small update:
I've logged the HPFP again, the car was clearly struggling to accelerate but the pump was doing 130+ bar, so the pump is not the root cause. That was a surprise, so I pulled over thinking to check for misfire, timing issues, etc. It was the last time this problem appeared and all the data logged looks good. Magically the problem disappeared. :jumping:
I have just 8 days until the race and a low budget so I've ordered a new set of subframe spacers (Tyrol Sport will have to wait for next time :sad1:), 15W-50W Motul Competition oil and a new filter, a CV boot (I have a broken one and it made a real mess) and a new diesel undertray for good airflow 1K0 825 237.
After everything will be installed I should do a new wheel alignment so I've scheduled one next Friday. With that I will be finally ready.

Good stuff :happy2:
No no, I haven't bought a Golf R :smiley: I have driven one though. I was just saying I find the throttle response very laggy in auto mode. It's more the gearbox than the engine though :happy2: With the paddles it's fine. It can be dangerous in auto actually. A couple of occasions I'd go for an overtake, shove my foot right down and it feels like it's slammed the brakes on whilst it faffs around finding a gear. Really bad. Not everyone will experience that, but I seem to find weaknesses in anything very quickly :grin:
