As you all know i got the car today. I noticed the put on the rims back to front. So i took it to a tyre place for an alignment after the wheels have been swapped from front to back. The camber on the passenger side was way off compared to the drivers side. funnu they couldnt match the camber for both sides they came very close though. I think onedrivers side is 1.75 and the other is1.25 or something. What should the setting be. The car is sitting 350mm front and back from center wheel to the arches.

second thing have you guys heard of a suspension called JECS? cos thats what it is on the car noe and thats all i can make out from.

couple of other issues ocasinally the car will auto lick itself (doors)

Keyless entry works find but cannot disable the larm. after opening the doors via key or remote and i dont put in the key to the ignition the alarms go off. So probably i need a wiriing diag. (anybody knows where i can get one? originals of course if i can).

other than that its find. Ben from Race pace inspected the car and everything seems to be allrtie . Had the car on the hoist and everything. other than that everything is allrtie at the moment.

my opinion, get rid of whatever dodgy alarm is in and get a decent one installed. auto lock is usually because you disarm the car but don't open the door, it assume it was a mistake and locks again.

yea i know but this one got a paging system to it. probably i will leave it ad it is first other than that it wirks fine the alarm works fine.

another thing i forgot that its got a turbo timer in it as well. but sometimes it works sometimes dont. o dpmt knw wheter it works on the oil temp or not. might have to get an autp elec to check it out.

my father is an auto electrician, they have people coming in all the time with dodgy alarms, they usually end up leaving with massive bills, so you are probably better off just putting up with it or getting a new one installed

ok i was just wondering does the 260rs suppose to have a switch that controls 2wd or 4wd? Also are they suppose to have the head light height adjustments? cos mine doesnt have any of them.

Isn't the headlight adjustment thing just a little screw and you use a phillips??

tighten it and the headlights shine down, loosen it and they shine upwards??

S2's with xenon headlights actually have (might have been optional not sure) an electrical headlight adjustment, so you can adjust them up and down, something to do with carrying extra weight, and because the xenons are so bright, you can adjust them down.

the only adjustment you can make to the torque split is a button located to the left of the steering wheel just above the handbrake on the rs4 so maybe look in the same place on your 260 although your handbrake isnt there its in the centre console

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
