  1. I know that there are a lot of threads about this problem but i would like some advice about my problem because I don't want to spend money for nothing so here is the problem:

    - until a few days ago the window was working fine if i was opening the door from inside, the window was going down the light was turning on and the window was staying down until i was closing the door BUT from outside when i was opening the door the window was going down the light in the car was turning on but when i was releasing the door handle the window was going up and the light in the car was turning off.

    - now the it doesn't matter from where i am opening the door the problem persist, the window is going down normally but when i am releasing the door handle (inside the car or outside the car) the window is going up and the lights in the car turning off.

    I hope you understand what I wanted to explain smile.gif

  2. It is your choice but you are spending too much money for nothing, k16/16g is what you need for that power and the k16 will spool faster that the k24/18g! who said that the 3" it has drone?

    Sell the k24 and do the k16/16g + 5bar fpr + intercoolers + dv's + hoses + intercoolers and if you want the IPD plenum and you will be more that happy!!

    Hi Frank! :D

  3. Ok so with the tip you can not go more that 500-550whp first of all, if you want to go higher you must reinforce the gearbox.

    Go with a 3" exhaust, check out Markski exhaust (911tuning.com)

    And if i where in your place I would go with the K16/16g turbos and check the 997.2 intecoolers ;)

  4. Sorry for the topic change, but what is the spec on your car. Why the cage. Its good to see a car being used, ie dirty and not just a polish collector.

    How do you find your TT in the snow, any traction problems. Do you feel the front wheels doing much.

    If you would like to make this a PM no problems.

    Sorry again for going off topic. :offtopic: :oops: I just had to ask seeing the great photos of your car.

    Frank

    :thankyou:

    Sorry for being OT, I'll make it short... ;)

    I first went for a chassis upgrade (H&R/Sportec), bucket seats (GT3), rollbar, 6-pts harnesses, steering wheel, etc. All that because I used to do a loooot of trackdays. Despite of that, the first clutch easily survived 217'000km. Then came the first power upgrade (Sportec 3, 540hp). Amazing! Later, after an engine failure (due to a bad design from Porsche, nothing to do with the upgrade), Sportec rebuilt the engine and found a bit more power (591hp, 823Nm). ohooooo! :)

    Despite of that, I still drive the car under any conditions. Because of a broken ABS sensor, I even passed last winter with no ABS/PSM at all. And survived it! ;) Actually, I even went to ski holidays with it... And yes, on snow, you can feel the traction going to the front, no doubt. But since it's max 37-39% of the whole power that's sent there, the car's main character still remains rear-based.

    So yeah, the car just passed 362'000km and bucket seats and rollcage are gone: I have another track toy and (most important!) became a dad 2 years ago, so needed some room for the baby seat... ;) But the 591hp are still here and still well in use!

    Hi Pierre,

    Thanks for the info.

    I have just read it .

    I restore Classic Split Screens on and off so I have been posting on a few VW site the last few days so took my eye off Renntech for a day or so :oops:

    Back now though :renntech:

    What Turbos do you have. K16's or bigger. I'm on 16's and chasing power. I think I have reached the limit for small Turbos.

    Frank

    go to k16/16g :P

  5. After replacing, rear tires, litronic control unit, all four brake pads and discs and finally after a good alignment my car is back on the road. And it is almost perfect! Drive better than before because of this last touch by a pro at Garbis alignment" a small shop in Laval north of Montreal. Thanks again for your encouragement. I got more experience working on the TT and this experience , I hope, will help other people in need of help to found a cure to a failure or malfunction on their car....

    The next step is the reprogramming of the keys.... Sometimes next week.....

    Like always a good man, thank you JP! :)

    Glad that everything is well with the car but I have a question for you, when will you flash it? :D

    ps. why are you reprogramming the keys?!
