  1. So with some help from ECS Tuning I found out fuse 22 on passenger side fuse box keeps blowing. It doesn't blow until you turn on the seat warmer. Also it doesn't matter which one you turn on - you can turn on the driver first or passenger first and it will blow. Where can I look now? Do they have a relay that controls both seats? If so where? I know on the previous years its under the dash but when I looked on the relay box underdash mines empty vs the previous years in that particular spot there was a relay.

  2. So my guess is the previous owner installed an aux/USB setup.  Many of these systems means removing the changer from the fiber optic network and replacing it with this.

     

    See if you put it on CD changer, if that little box activates and or does something.

     

    when i do put it on cd changer the box works with rca cables however i cant close the glove box.. i have not been able to get the aux cable to work though

  3. We just recently acquired a 08 CTT and I can't get the rear cd changer or head unit one to work. It has this aux usb cord in glove box but I can't get any sound out of it even when I set head unit on AUX. I also have a iPhone 4 fat blade style cord in glove box. 

     

    I did buy a white and red RCA to 3.5mm jack to plug in to my phone and did get it to work however I can't close the glove box. 

     

    Does anyone have any input?

  4. DIY 2008 CTT PDCC Reservoir Replacement


    Well I tackled this job today and it was super easy. I think all in all it took me about 20 minutes or so. I took pictures for anyone else that wants to do it themselves. I would recommend if you plan on doing the power steering reservoir then I would do it the same time. The reason why is you have to remove the PDCC reservoir out of the way to do the Power Steering reservoir. Both reservoirs are the exact same item, same part number and all atleast on my 08 CTT.

  6. Hey guys i just got delivery of my new to me 08 CTT.. i am going thru the service records and about 12k miles ago when the previous owner took it in for service they replaced it with a Bosch plug part number 999-170-130-90.

    From what I read this plug is for the non turbo models.. Did they install the wrong plugs or should it still work fine on the Turbo model? If it is wrong does this harm the motor in any way?

  7. Looks pretty highly optioned as well. Congrats. The only thing in my hunt that is keeping me away from the 2004-2008's is the PCM change in 2009. Love the interior color on that tho.

     Thanks it was actually highly optioned when I looked up the build sheet.

  8. Well... We made the biggest mistake when we sold our 05 CTT to another member on the forum. We were going to buy a S63 AMG but end up missing the CTT so bad we got another.

     

    I just finalized and got a killer deal today on an 08 CTT with 85k miles.. A little on the higher mileage side but service history was impeccable. It is a 1 owner car since brand new and the dealer told me it belonged to a judge. I did a PPI at the local dealer it was serviced at and everything came back good besides normal wear and tear items. I have all 30 pages of every single service record since new. 

     

    Water Distribution and thermostat/seal was changed at 63k miles.. High Pressure Fuel Pump was done at 55k miles.. rotors and pads were just done 3k miles ago.. The only thing I see that hasnt been done yet is the cardan shaft so I will go ahead and change it out with a EPS shaft support.

  9. 04 TT, same fault, "brake booster warning".Same problem as TopGun2000. the hose/plastic pipe is cracked at the connection (bottom end). Most likely due to heat exposure. Wrapped electrical tape (for now), i guess 3/4" heatshrink will also do.P/N is 7L5-611-931 G. Cleared code, seems ok.it is under pass side engine cover (remove blue washer lid, remove torx screw at lid, loosen rubber gasket around, remove that "+" screw lock thingy, remove plastic cover, and it's right under the plastic cover.)15 minute job total.Thank you Renntech, thank you Durametric!

    I found the problem: a cracked vacuum line (on the top of the hose at the "931" mark)!!! :cheers:attachicon.gifDSC_0012.JPGObviously there was another old leak which was fixed by the previous owner in a JB Weld way. :jump:attachicon.gifDSC_0010.JPG :renntech:

    Thank you very much!!! i have the same issue and it was this hose. I will order a new one.. thx everyone who contributed!

  10. I noticed when I get on it sometimes it surges like not enough fuel. I know it's not coilpack or plugs cause I just changed them. I also notice when I come to a complete stop the RPM drops like the car is going to die. Someone told me possible fuel pump as well. So today I started the car and pulled the 13 fuse and car idle just fine. Then I inserted 13 fuse in and pulled the 14 fuse and the car wanted to die and struggled to stay on after a few seconds. What does this tell me?
