Not too bad looking.
Long time ago, driver seatbelt sensor was interrupted and sometimes was good sometimes not good. Problem solved by turn off seatbelt warning with vcds.
And finally tooked time to troubleshooting and it was very easy fix.
Plastic housing split with flat screwdriver, to put back need use superglue and tide together until its dry.
Pull sensor out
I didnt toke picture before, but this small metal plate inside was bend and it didn’t stick out so much, thats why when seatbelt was latch it didnt push it away enough. With small flat screwdriver just pull it out and make as looks now and work perfectly.
Seatbelt warning activated with carista, and automatic handbrake release work again
Love the fresh update. Looks good.
Thanks.
So latest update is about TCU, flashed yesterday and today easy driving so i dont have proper review due lazy driving, let’s wait to get it adapted.
But, noticed quicker and smooth shifting in D mode and normal driving, but on one quick acceleration it shift mucth quicker than before and its making good kick back in seat, never feel that before from my s6.
Also, i find out that ECU tune i did is version without cats, funny thing is i pass emissions test.

Its a monster with Stage 2 ECU, once I found out that was for cat delete I went back to stage 1 so the cats wouldn’t clog faster.
TCU tune takes some getting used to, I asked about it and was told it accelerates more like an R8 now. Shifts are much firmer under heavy acceleration and it takes a lot less pedal to get up to speed now.

Replacing sunroof seal:
Decide to replace it due age, there was no damages or loss of hardness.
Tilt up sunroof. Remove side skirts, just pull them out, but be careful to not broke rubber
Unscrew 6x torx 25 bolts, 3 on each side, sunroof will drop but its ok
Push up glass and pick up from top, to remove seal its best from middle, just pull out and go arround
Once seal is removed, toke WD40 and any type of rag, clean all surface arround from derbs
Install new seal, there is UP and DOWN side, not shure if this effects wind deflection but top side edge is smooth and bottom have one grove, keep smooth side up
Before installing glass, clean up sunroof frame from derbs so new seal will sealed arrond on paint. Use WD40.
Same for sliding mechanism, now its good opportunity to do some cleaning and lubricate, WD40 good again.
After installing sunroof glass, slightly tide up all 6 bolts but keep them lose enough so glass can be adjusted by hands, after that close sunroof and adjust leveling.
Front side uf glass should be max 1mm below frame, rear side max 1mm above frame.
Front
Rear
Once set up is done, DO NOT OPEN sunroof, tide up all 6 bolts up to 4.5Nm, or best practice hand-tide.
Do function test, if all work fine install side skirts.
Some documents for reference from Elsa
Parking sensors:
System not working and error - short to ground (full system), no info which sensor. Pull one by one and find Front Left with one pin coroded. Clean up pin and reconected and system is back to life

Great addition and quick walk though
And today i was on way to do yearly inspection of car.
Once i was on highway, traction control off, S-mode and kick down.
Now im not shure but i presume it was 3th gear and engine get up to 7000 and pulled over that, at that moment i was little suspicious why didnt shift, but sometimes it get over 7000.
At that point i release pedal and then kick again when it was over 7000.
Engine rev up to arround 7800rpm. At that point it shift up and PRNDS ligjt up on dash.
Gerbox not shifting up or down, switching from S to D no diference. Shift to N and car its in Neutral, engine work OK. Shift back to D and no changing, car its engaged in gear and it slow down or pull normally but no shifting.
Lucky i have Carista and it show Transmission Error - P0219 - Engine Overspeed Condition
Durring drive pushed reset and everything come back to normal.
Shifts all gears no problem, car pass test, emissions test ok for pass
This can happen from time to time when the motor is moving fast enough that the TCU processor isn’t able to calculate the shifting sequence and it misses it’s window. Usually I just back out of the throttle slightly and the shift takes place. Or you can key cycle after the event if needed and it should reset everything. You might still get a soft code but the bigger issue should be cleared.

Regarding my post on another topic, about mmi:
This was easy fix, after playing with sound seting i find that left door only makes this sound, on futher investigation mid tone speaker was faulty.
To fix its not even 5 min, need some flattool to pull mesh front of speaker, stick longer finger between and locate speakeer suspension surround rung, pinch hole with finger and stick some small plastic bag between or anything to keep it from making scratching noise. 
Whem summer comes, then the speaker will be replaced

Not so long ago in January car had error of Engine Overspeed. After reset everything was ok. Continue driving car daily until mid of February when car left me on road.
Stopped on red light and then when continue driving, strech gear and instead of shifting from first gear to secon it make bang.
PRNDS light come on, reset everything and car its not engaging gears. Moving shifter through all gears and it’s show on display, no errors, engine revs but not pull.
Car was towed to mechanic shop and here is result in video below.
Everything electronically was ok, clutch plates ok.

That’s crazy. Don’t think I’ve heard of that happening before. Until the I saw the video I assumed it was your mechatronic unit that failed. Good luck.
Car is going smooth, shifting like nothing happened…
Today received special tool and diagnostic is not so bright

Oh no is that the manifold or valve covers?
As observed for now, it leaks on throttle, between IM and Y plenum and on left side intake hose where are 3 vacuum connections
Another fault fixed.
AC system full with gas, pressure is good, but compressor is not turning on
Bad sensor
Position of new sensor, it can be replaced without removing bumper, but it will toke time as small space to stick in hands, and one spanner was cut in half to fit small space
Temp in car before at 1:57pm
Temp in car at 2:47pm
Side mirror LED, for long time didn’t work and finaly find one set on ebay.
4FD949134
Step 1- remove mirror, just gently pull out, it’s going easy. When mirror it’s out, disconnect 2x wiring for heating
Step 2- removing mirror cover, pull bottom part of cover away and unclip one clip inside, then pull cover up
Step 3- Unscrew 2x Phillips screws underneath
Step 4- disconnect LED connector
Step 5- remove torx and swap LED
Step 6- reverse steps to assembly everything back.
Only remarks for this, maybe LED can be replaced only by removing bottom plastic, to avoid removing mirror
