Finally after years of owning the car, I removed the HUD display the previous owner installed. But there’s a lot of glue residue underneath. 
 

There are hundreds of products that can probably remove it like ph neutral spray cleaner, carby cleaner, contact cleaner, brake cleaner, petrol, metho, turps, bug and tar remover, goo gone etc but I don’t want to try anything because of the fear I might discolour the dash. 
 

So what do you recommend to use to remove glue and glue residue from dash without damaging it?

      Cold compression test after rebuild... should I be worried?

      By MidnightR32 · Posted

      Thanks for the suggestion of being on it. As the car has a break in tune, I went and hit 10psi a few times while driving, drove it kind of like a jack ass for ~1.5 hours, did another test, and all 6 cylinders were at/just below 125PSI. I took photos of it this time as I only my memory to remember seeing 150psi. As for the ones that were low, my battery is kind of shot and dies pretty quickly if not charged, so I'm going to assume I just didn't let them build up enough compression or the battery didn't have the power. The 150psi for #4 is definitely odd, but having no photo proof, I'm just going to make note of it. I'll retest it again when the car is cold to see where things are, but everything is insync now so 🤷‍♀️

      I've thought about DCT, and I think in pretty much every way sequential wins. You still have a pedal clutch, which means you can make it take off exactly how you want. There's no computer trying to work out if you're about to go up or down a gear. Without looking at the math, I reckon sequential will be a quicker shift. How they're setup, both can only go up or down 1 gear at a time. Did I mention no computer needed, so it can't ruin your day with some weird edge case with the sequential? I've not really ever found an auto box I've ever been 100% happy with even in normal daily duties, and the few DCT vehicles I've driven have the same issue. I would be intrigued to take a crack at reprogramming a DCT and seeing how well I can truly ruin my day for myself...

      The stealth of it is sick. Custom tow bar I assume?

      These are also true. I do try to separate myself from the rest of society though. I'm starting to get evil DCT scented dreams though.
