  • Did a Few things

    Sorry no pics. I'll get some.

    So, I took a few items from Remedys. The Monoblock Reps, the ABD stage 2 intake, the open grill fogs, and the Eurojet PCV fix.

    Got everything installed, car runs great and sounds great.

    So I had a steering wheel vibration under load. I thought it was the used tires I had had on previously, when I put the the reps on, I figured it would be gone.

    The thing is that the vibration comes about when I load up the engine. So I installed the 3 VF Engineering Engine mounts. That helped slightlt but didn't eliminate it. BTW they really compliment this motor and improve, sound, handling, clutch feel, power, just nice and firm.

    But I still have that pesky vibration. I'm thinking the spark plug intensity weakens under high boost on one or multiple cylinders and that creates a bit of a shudder causing the vibration. Anyone agree with this theory. Either that or I got some shot bearings.

    Should I use OEM plugs, or does anyone have any recommendations?

    On another note, I saw a thread on the tex about rerouting the PCV evac to the exhaust pipe after the cat. Uses a vac for better evac. I think this will be a mod in the future, because the intake valves get rotten with carbon deposit if not. unless you have water/meth.

    Is the vibration through the body or steering wheel? Possible vibration from a drive axle?

      the inner CV joints will cause shuddering under load, and since they are the inner ones, you won't get all the clicking when you turn like when outer CV's go.

      I had this issue on my TDI. I had gone to Concept 1 and Fountain Tire to have it looked at and neither could find the issue. Dealership got it right away.

          Check the brakes at all 4 corners, double-check that the tires are balanced next time you are at a shop. Did you buy cheap tires? IMO cheap tires = hard to balance properly.

            And what exactly is your reasoning behind this?

                  I second Stefan's inner CV joints opinion. The fact that it is under load is a good indication. Does the intensity of the vibration increase the harder you are on the throttle and vise versa?

                        would the steering wheel ever shudder? is it not fly by wire? unless it provides feedback but i doubt it.

                          It shudders more under load. It's more apparent at higher speeds, and goes away when I let off the gas.

                          Warranty?

                            there is always a direct link from column to steering rack it is mandated and an obvious safety issue . so yes the steering wheel will shudder . its not steering fly by wire its a small motor on the rack that takes an input from a sensor and assists you in turning the wheel
