    Colt cam vs franko6 cams

    Used Frank many moons ago when I had my BRM. Bought the cam kit (bearing, etc.) from him and it worked out perfect. Installed with no problems and everything was shipped in a timely manner. No complaints from me.

    Am I missing something, or is Darkside's DPF delete kit less than half the price of Rawtek's? Why is this the case?

    I know he sells two different versions of the DP, so I would reach out via his website or via FB (I had better communication over FB messenger). If you buy the less expensive model, it will cost even less than what I paid for the whole kit. The smell is like any diesel from years ago before the...

    Am I missing something, or is Darkside's DPF delete kit less than half the price of Rawtek's? Why is this the case?

    I used the Profidiesel kit and have had zero problems thus far. I bought the full kit with the mid pipe and it fit perfectly fine. Just needed to trim the one bracket for a tighter fit. I assume it's made that way so it can be tailored to each vehicle. I also bought the EGR delete too and...

    What did you do to your MkVI-A6 today?

    Yes, even in completely stock form, it was struggling to get up to temp. I monitored the temp in my Polar FIS and through VCDS and the results were the same, low temp. Once the new thermostat was installed, no problems getting up to temp.

    What did you do to your MkVI-A6 today?

    Replacing DMF without dropping trans

    Yes, I dropped my subframe. It can be done without dropping it, but the axle flange will have to be maneuvered around the subframe to clear it. Not difficult, but an annoyance. I have the subframe locater pins that I used when dropping the subframe, so re-aligning it was not a problem on the...

    Replacing DMF without dropping trans

    Having done this exact thing recently, I can say it's easy in the sense that it's straight forward and not difficult on a scale of jobs if you have basic skills and can follow instructions/videos. If you work in a shop, have access to vehicle lifts, transmission jacks and specialty tools, its a...

    Headlight Upgrade for Mk3 Jetta? (fog lights and auxillary)

    Many years ago when I had an MK3, I bought some glass lenses and just threw in a set of bi-xenon lights. They were not too expensive and they worked great. They were the type that were threaded and had a nut on the back of the housing, so no cutting or retrofitting was required. It served its...

    What did you do to your MkVI-A6 today?

    Replaced my DSG....twice. Bought a used one that had a second gear problem (Mechatronics I assume), then had to R&R again with another. That solved the problem, but what a PITA to have to do it twice.
