Default Notice anything different?

Well, thanks again to Chris from PD, (DTC Designs). Headlight range control fixed from the problem that occured during the drop. some sort of weird Vag thing. fixed. Akebono pads installed up front. I'll review more in depth later, but so far so good. Anyone want a set of Bobcats for up front? Great race pad, I've decided. CHEAP! And, installed the ECS dogbone, and I have to agree w the consensus (luckily) cause I really jumped on board. But a significant difference in the DSG perf. Smoother, more solid. No downside that I can see. Chris ran the codes from the CEL I threw the other day, and it looks like some sort of air intake flap on the intake manifold. I have a dealer appt next week for that and an alignment.
GIAC after that.
peace.
Z.

Hey Daddy, I got the same fault ("intake manifold runner") after I got it chipped...dealer fixed/cleared. He said it was due to increase in power. I haven't seen it again.

Default so close.....

you really can't go wrong. obviously, lots of factors go into the decision. Hope you are getting an Avant. much sharper IMO.
good luck either way.

I got the flap code today. Just clear it and address it later if it comes up again.
