lol true story.
I found the connector for the air box flap, I found the solenoid its supposed to be attached to. it was on the bracket for the sai pump I removed. I plugged it in and zip tied it up and no more code. I also removed the one resistor for the fog light on the driver side and just plugged it abck into the foglight and got rid of that code. all I have left now is the o2 sensor and that park assist which I didn’t even know I had.
Your RS4 is looking on point! Glad you found the problem, those sensors can sometimes be a BITCH
my o2 didn’t come today so Monday now. clutch break in continues… its nice and cool today tonight would be a good night for a pass… :
So I’m noticing now that my clutch engages right at the floor and if u Rev the car with clutch in and in first gear it starts to roll forward. Is this the sign of an issue or is this normal during break in. I never noticed this before today. I have about 200km on it now.
I’m gonna jack it up and follow jhms bleeding procedure tomorrow. If anyone has any input or help feel free to tell me. This is my first time bleeding the clutch in this car
Sounds like the pressure plate bolts are backing out. Either they weren’t patient putting it on, or they didn’t put loctite on, despite the instructions
Fuck sakes. I made him read the instructions with me and he swore up and down he loctited everything.
Well I won’t be drivin the car until I know what’s happening for sure now. I’ll try and bleed the clutch and see if that helps. If not It’s goin back in on Monday. Fuck. This is exactly why I can’t stand other ppl touching my car cuz I don’t know for 100 percent what has actually been done.
It sucks but you would be amazed how many shops just do things there way. This isn’t just a audi thing You can read across the other makes of cars and it’s the same story.
Mother fucker. If we pull the tranny and the bolts are loose and I don’t see red lock tight somebody’s gettin a right hook.
I would be more concerned that th PP was tightened down in evenly and he warped the springs. Make sure you also check that.
I called the owner of the shop and lost my fucking mind on him. Tranny being pulled first thing Monday morning. I’m trying to be calm until I can see for myself what’s up but I’m fucking livid right now. If installation error fucked up my shit someone will die.
Sorry for the rant but I’m pissed. Should have just done it myself.
Take it easy. If it’s a good shop they will make it right. Make it you vs them though and they may not be so willing to help
Yup and if your not careful they won’t tell you exactly new hats wrong because at that point they will want to cover there butt
Damn that sucks. Hopefully they handle this professionally for you. I’d be livid too, but try and be nice when dealing with them. They’ll be more inclined to take care of you.
Yep. A lot of shops just throw stuff together and hope that it works without reading the instructions.
I think a local shop to me (NGP Racing) has been messing up JHM clutch installs for a little bit because a few people have been contacting me about issues with their JHM clutch kit that was installed by NGP.
if I didn’t spend so much time explaining the issues to the guy I wouldn’t be so mad but I did and he still fucked it up. I just hope and pray that its loose bolts and that’s it.
The good news is it sounds like they are going to try and make it right. Don’t expect them to tell you exactly what it is but it’s got all the signs of the bolts backing out.
Was this issue immediate or did it happen after driving the car for a bit?
It was fine when I left the shop. I put a total of 167 km on it. I went to get a case of beer and noticed it in the drive thru. Clutch engagement right at the floor and clutch not fully disengaging.
Soon as I noticed it i parked the car and haven’t driven it since. That was Friday afternoon.
