Thank you for doing this! Shopping very soon.
anyone able to explain why mine will be completely fine while the cars of then when i turn the car on the radar turns off and then on and off over and over?
Any output shots of the beam/pattern?
If anyone is watching this trying to fix the overheating issue: There’s an inline thermostat coming from your transmission oil cooler. Find it and throw it in the trash! They all get stuck shut or defective in someway. You’re welcome.
Does the lights comes with the required module ?
did you get an alignment after?
Hey i have now the Same coilovers with the Standard Golf 7 gti weels and my Front dont get so love like yours ,how is your spring installed?
alot YT do this mode its useless cuz there need a second air inlet scoop kit or make simply a hole*
So let’s say I swap from a is12 to a is38 Will this tuner help me make it so it will run right and just alone with the turbo swap will run right without the tune ? or would I need to go to professional tuner to adjust boost and fuel mixtures and all that stuff?
For non turbo vws which would you recommend??
Does it fit the Mexican jetta gli?
No idea
Thanks for posting. Great video and very educational. I do have two questions. I have the manual stick shift Porsche Cayman 718. I have plenty of horse power and torque coming out of the stock engine. My only interest in the at home APR tuner is to turn off the F&^%$ annoying "engine stop/start" button. Based on your experience with the APR tuner, if I purchase the tuner for my Porsche, can I go through all the options and program the tuner so that the only mod it does is to turn off the "engine stop/start button"? My second question is about the TCU tuning. Since I have a stick shift, I don't need to worry about the TCU tuning, correct? Frank
Answer to your second question: Correct - don't need to do TCU. First Question - I don't know the answer to this. I don't believe start stop options are available through UltraLink tuning. I have another video about removing this challenge on a Tiguan. That was done through a small piece of electronic hardware. Check it out.
You sound like DailyDose
Thank you?! Who's that? Send me a vid.
Well done, professional, video! I learned a few new things from it!
Great to hear!
Thank you!
Great Vid!
Thanks Jaime!
Isn't the 7psi switch for 100 octane? Might explain why it felt off
Can I do this on a 2016 mexican golf? I wonder if the dealership would be willing to do this and how much they would charge.
Torque spec??????0
Yes swallow louder daddy
What happens when you run regular 87 octane gas with the module. Do you get any power increase or do you have to have 91 octane to see the gains?
That’s exactly what I’m wondering and I haven’t been able to find an answer, I might have to email neuspeed themselves
Wish I found this video a couple of weeks back when I replaced the solenoids on my daughter's '06 Jetta. Anyway, pieced it together from various videos here. Most guys seem to just replace the whole valve body unfortunately, which isn't a bad way to go, just more costly (especially if it's just your solenoids which are bad). And yes, the numbers and the color of the replacements seem to differ but my 2¢ is that the end one with the squared tip was a b!tch to remove and even harder to install (had to "press" that one in there with a large pair of channel locks) and there was also one of the middle ones which didn't have a "50" on the end but instead a symbol. As far as your solenoids not entirely fixing your issue, are you sure you diagnosed it correctly? Bad solenoids in the 09G usually present themselves as working perfectly fine when cold but once things warm up, that's when the hard shifts and late shifts start. Ours would go into limp mode too when this happened (would miss the shift from 3rd-4th). How did your transmission fluod smell when you initially drain it? If it smelled like burnt rubber then your clutches are probably shot.
How long did it take you?
It was a long time ago, but my guess is 4 hours
i bought solowerks s1’s for my jetta and i hate it so much. its harsh and bounces over bumps like crazy making my bumper scrape. i really want to switch to these tho…
Hello I have a question. what is the stage level IS38 ? Thank you.
Stage 2 + IS38
Do you have to use that website to make your tune ?
I had this problem happen to me this week. Smoke started to come out from under my hood. White smoke at that. I looked at may car and checked for an oil leak and it wasn’t that. My cousin said to check for a coolant leak and he was right. I ordered the part. Just waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for your video, now I know how to change it.
Sorry to hear but glad you got the part on the way! How did install go?
It went well. Removing the rubber hose was a pain. It was really stuck. But once removed. I installed the part and all is well.
Same thing happened to me today.
@@lowkey5854good luck man. It’s an easy fix if you have the right tools and parts.
@oscarrojas9809 what bit do I need?
Hi! I gonna buy a gti with is38 turbo change, the car have stage 2 plus, if I buy the apr ultralink, i will get that same tune if I start the app with my email? I gonna want change the octane sometimes, but i dont know if i need buy the tune again or that stay in the info of the car in apr
That is exactly what I was looking at just a little more go especially for merging and passing in regular traffic
What kind of mudflaps are those?
I had my apr tune take off my stage 2 so I could pass emissions. so I go to put it back on and they said APR has stage 2 file locked now, Im so pissed! I paid a couple hundred buck to have it removed, now I cant re instll they said only stage 1 now
Contact them wtf
Good video but im sure we all would of liked to see how it looked with the original wheels and tires just to see what it looked liked😒
Really? It wasn't pretty.
Any idea of tq spec?
What are the rims and what size tire? Checked out the site but did not see them listed.
Tips for those with a 2017 (MK7) GTI sport- don't remove the rear view mirror if you don't have to. It's nearly impossible to put it back on the mount without cracking your windshield. (Ask me how I know.) I did discover that the metal arm that attaches to the glass is easily removable by turning it counter-clockwise. So do that if you want the extra room of not having the mirror there. Also, I bought wires that were 16" long, and that wasn't enough length to be able to mount my Escort under the mirror. Next- the plug on my GTI was slightly different in that it has 6 wires going into the blue connector. The red is still hot, next to that is gray, and then the brown wire next to that is the ground. And finally, my wires were always on, so you have to have a detector that has the option to turn itself off. My Escort Max 360 mk2 can be programmed to turn itself off, which I needed to do.
will the IS38 tune work in a tiguan?? or does it depend on the engine.
No, because the tiguan does not have an IS38 turbo.
@@DadWagon do you know what tunes i can run with the tiguan?
There are nicer plug in one's on the market
Thank you for the help. The dealer wants about $400 for manual transmission fluid change, and $200 for each differential. I'm motivated saving some dollars and doing these on my own with 2019 Alltack. Thank you again!
If you don't rush it, and just find a bit of enjoyment in working on your car - it will be great.
Doesn’t kick in sooner it just piggybacks and adds boost …
hey bro i have 2019 tiguan. I've gotten a muffer delete and stage 1 ECU and a cts cold intake. I plan on installing apr throttle booster and power module. Can those two be installed at the same time? Can they work together?
definitely. You can definitely have the throttle booster and power module both installed.
@@DadWagon will I gain any horse power for having them two?
good video, it helped me a lot... a question, what torque did you give to the valve box... thank you
Glad it helped out. Now I have no idea. I had to google it to find the torque number.
I'm already apr is38 , 2+ Would this let me add anything I didn't have tuned? Launch, louder pops, etc
Depends on what engine you have (1.8 vs 2.0) and what maps are available for your vehicles. You should be able to go to APRs website and see which maps are available for your vehicle.
What if it rains your going to ruin your engine
Nope - water won't get through the filter.
Living in a state with emission laws, this looks like a good option!
Great info. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
That's a sick VWagon!
Thanks dude!
Que son esas piezas color amarillo en los amortiguadores delanteros ?
Hey man, I have a mk7 gti and I’m looking for a stg 2 pops and bangs tune. Does APR offer one on the ultra link?
You'll have to look it up on their site. I dont know off hand.
This is the same process for all 4 wheel wells?
Just the front two
Do you remember where you got the bolts from? I’m having a hard time finding the correct size, thanks!
