Took off the starter motor during my lunch break, fk it's a cnut with the Plazmaman plenum & all the fuel equipment (regulator, fuel filter, external fuel dampener) in the way. That's enough work for this month on the car. Back to pushing buttons on a keyboard.

Wiring and plumbing on his car exceeds the quality and standard of American built spaceships & rockets. Step aside milspec, it's rocketSpec -

FWIW I run an ATI R33 RB26 balancer on my car, however with this RB25 PS pulley from Hi Octane Racing. https://www.hioctanedirect.com/Hi-Octane-Racing-R33-GTST-ATI-Power-Steering-Pulley-SUIT-750-HP-Balancer -
What in the fking world? You could have bought another Skyline with that kind of money back then 😅 It's like they encouraged you to drink your sorrows away and always have a 6 pack in hand to maintain your drunkenness

Come do my car -
I agree with you there, I still don't understand why they extended the car loan via Europcar for 1.5 weeks whilst they faffed about and deciding if they are to waive the labour or not. $469 vs. 1.5 weeks of car hire, I think paying the labour costs would have been cheaper for them, but shit for brains at head office chose the latter. Looking at RRP rates for a comparable car is $96 per day, so 11 days is $1056, let's say they get corporate rates at 40% off (wild assumption here) that would mean it's costing them $633, which is still more than the labour costs. Makes no sense right? Lol.

VW Australia were kind enough to loan me a 2024 Nissan X-Trail ST-L for 42 days, so generous of them! Not going to lie, it does what you've described just with a few missing features such as: auto door locks electric tailgate auto mirror dip on reverse washer jet on reverse camera (great for rainy days when there are droplets on it) multiple/directional reverse guidance beeping (yes that's right you hear the beeps inside the car at each corner, depending how close you are to things) knowing my name when I open the door lolol (listed in order of priority) I do like the 2024 CR-V too, however it's odd, it misses a 360 degree camera, yet has everything else.

So picked up the shit box, it does drive better. It's like they've revised the DSG strategy as it does not feel like other MY18/19 Tiguans I've driven. As soon as you let go of the brakes it engages the clutch straight away, where as before there was a very small lag (not as bad a MK5 MK6 Golfs / Passats), now it's nearly non existent. Also, in a way, I got a DSG service & 2 years warranty on the mechatronic & labour, etc. Some peace of mind for the next year, and sell it before that warranty period is up. Dealer also said they get at least once a month in with the faulty mechatronic issue & overflow from other VW dealers. They also said VW are aware of the issue but are only willing to cough up the parts NOT the labour, especially when there's a technical bulletin on it, TPI 2058102 / 24. Is what it is, serves me right for buying a shit box VW.

don't be sorry, not your fault! I should have listened to my other mates and go buy a BMW X3 the time, however the stats didn't look as appealing as the Tiguan, not to mention the 1.8% finance was very attractive, left money in my offset at 3.9% which meant I was ahead. Well drive quality, adaptive suspension, sound deadening, tech, economy for a 162kW car is way ahead of its Japanese counterparts. Just the DSG sucks.

Pack of arseholes. No Maria, your bullsiet email doesn't find me well. Typical VW Australia, bunch of flogs. First and last VW shit box for me.

I personally don't like Ross, and especially after they sold me a PS idler kit that was poorly designed and doesn't work with the RB25 out of the box. Another person has the same issue too. I emailed them numerous times, sent them photos, videos, etc. and they've ghosted me the pricks. -

We must be related. I use a NZ Cam trigger kit with an ATI balancer. I needed to get a custom PS pulley to suit the RB25 PS pump from Hi Octane Racing. Motor hasn't exploded yet, makes 437kW, has seen half a dozen track days at SMSP, 2x silly wannabe Power cruise events and runs AC. -

Pull off your front timing cover and see if the intake & exhaust cam is in the right spot vs. the crank pulley Easy check
