Would you stay away from tiptronic? I don't see the point in a manual

Our cars are one, if not THE best combinations of sport luxury cruising around IMHO :)

100% agree with this. Mine is the auto/trip i now wish that i didnt listen to my father and bought a manual lol, altho the auto is good for city driving with the stop start traffic as mine is a daily but when ur on a cruse you do miss the manual so its just upto what you are going to use the car for, the triptronic needs s shift kit for faster shifts i find that mine takes about 2-3 secconds to change gears when going flat out.

a 2-3 second delay is probably more the TCU delaying the shift rather than the transmission internals, if so, a shift kit won't fix it.

Actually the Transgo shift kit does fix the delay. You will probably do a 'chirpy' when manually changing up in lower gears (if foot is flat or close to it). M35 drivers are raving over the kit. One of the best mods to do & it appears to help economy slightly, when your not having too much fun that is.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
