Passat front control arms, holes out of line?

I’m in the process of a suspension redo. I'#039ve bought Lemforder Passat B6 alloy front control arms. Many posts on here say they are a straight bolt on replacement but I went to put one earlier and one of the smaller subframe bolt holes seemed to be about 5mm out of line.  [img width

I'#039m not sure exactly if the 2nd sensor is just a check sensor or if it actually influences the fuel trims in anyway. On the forums I'#039ve heard it'#039s only there to test the cat efficiency and doesnt actually influence fuel trims but one of my mechanic buddies claims it does influence trims.

Very happy, bu

You dont need to tune for the intake in most cases, unless the diameter around the MAF is bigger/smaller than stock because then the MAF will read wrong and your engine will run like ass. An intake probably wont do much in your situation, other than make things louder and give suction noises but an intercooler might. You'#039d really be pushing the turbo if you want more than 260hp. C

Re: What did you and your MKV do today?
Last Poster: ZoliWorks in Mk5 General Area on November 15, 2024, 09:13:08 pm
Decided to allocate some funds to the car again this month and did a suspension refresh. New Lemförder sway bar end links, new Bilstein B4 sport front and rear shocks, Eibach Pro-Kit coils from my old Jetta (7k km on them tops) and new dust/mud guards for the shocks along with new Lemförder strut mounts front and rear.

OIL LEAK help! Turbo covered in oil
Last Poster: Saaim124 in Mk5 General Area on November 13, 2024, 01:40:45 pm
Below you can see I have an oil leak? Any ideas where anyone thinks it’s coming from drops down all the way to the bottom and leaks. I’ve added as many pics from areas surrounding the turbo.
