Got a VAG-COM KKL cable coming that suits freessm on the laptop. Once that arrives, I can interrogate the daylights out of the ECU and TCU, and figure out exactly whats making this SOB run like crap. Be it one of the oxy sensors, the replacement cat not having enough cells in it, or the TCU telling the ECU to torque limit, or if its just good old fashioned knock.

Auto is gonna be gone semi-soon, as I have some classic diff whine from something under the car. Not loud or obnoxious yet, but it's progressing.
5spd is in the process of being removed from the track car per the other thread, and will be shoehorned into this as soon as I have a spare bit of time.

Anyways. Nothing else really of note except the still running like crap. Got 320km to the full tank of 95, so economy is ratshit at the minute.

Anyways, catch ya's all later on.

Cheers,
Ben

Should really pull my finger out and upload some photos, but she'll be right. I'll get there eventually... When I do upload I'll go back through and update the respective posts...

Put her back on the hoist yesterday, and got back into the shed tonight to start pulling the 5spd out. Got not much done initially cos I procrastinated for the first 15 or 20 minutes, but everything on the top side is done bar the downpipe off the back of the turbo. Going to clean up my crimp lug abortion to make a manual work in an auto car from way back when as well, will replace these with proper deutsch connectors.
Next step is raise it up and get under it to undo all lower bolts and remove the trans and tailshaft. Shouldn't be too bad I don't think...

Also quoted up all the shiz I need to rerun the fuel lines outside the cabin in AN6 braided hose. Just shy of 400 bucks, but kinda needed for regs.

Anyways, until the next 6 monthly update, catch you all laters!

Cheers,
Ben

Not sure on the manuals, but they are definitely different in the autos.
