  • Re: R32 Roll Call

    Just doing some reading, the DRL's should work regardless of the headlight switch used, sometimes there is a DRL relay that gets pulled out to disable it or the TFL wire gets cut too. Maybe dig a bit deeper and see how they were disabled.

      After some investigating, the PO doesn't recall doing anything else and my research suggests that the euro install doesn't involve anything other than replacing the switch.

      EDIT: I think you're right that the DRL's should come on regardless. What I thought were the DRL's were the "city or parking" lights that are activated by the euro switch. Sorry to cause confusion. I was previously unaware that DRL's are actually low beams at reduced brightness.

                I was at FahrFromHome last weekend, figured I'd stop in here too. Got this car in September or so from C2 Motorsports in Kentucky, drove it home myself. So it came with the big turbo kit and the only thing I've added so far is the 3" APR Golf R exhaust (it had the stock catback).

                      Unfortunately, no date. Just couldn't work it out for this month, so we should start planning for June.

                        C2 Motorsports, this was their R&D car. The turbo itself is Precision Turbo 6266, the rest of it is the C2 "Stage 3" kit plus another couple parts. I was told just over 450 whp.
