My mk5 tdi (money pit) now with accuair e-level... NOW FOR SALE!!

[George10]

Thanks man 

I'm hoping it something cheap as I'm not spending ridiculous money getting it sorted.
Gonna cost me a lot to put the wings etc back to how they were.

I've just spent a fortune getting my archers to sit perfect on my rotiforms now they're all dented,
Votex is all scuffed up, miltek is dented to f*ck and something's come loose underneath the car.

It only starting hissing when it dumped the whole car but when I turnt the ignition off took
the key out the compressor is still rawing away. I've had to disconnect my battery incase the compressor sets a light. Car goes back to studio in car today so hopefully the find and solve the problem. Hoping it's not the management as my e-level controller wouldn't work either.

two new genuine wings painted will be like £400
Votex well yeah that's a bum and exhaust can be made for like £90 at a local exhaust centre

i had a stuck relay on mine which caused one compressor to keep going, the other was off. i hit it with a spanner gently and it's been good as gold since.

if your e level is not working then that's probably an issue.
like i said man it's a bit of an over reaction as said the overall cost of repair when you factory in what you have spent on the car is very little.

Know you must be feeling disheartened George but stick with it mate will be worth it when she's back to good as new 

[George10]

This will be the fourth time I get my wings re done - that's £1,600 and it may sound like an over reaction but it's becoming money after money. I know it's minor due to the amount of money I've spent on the car but it's money that I don't want to be spending.

Just hoping studio in car can sort the problem.

It's just problem after problem.
Maybe when my rotiforms are back from Cali and back on the love will come back

To be fair bud if you go for that arch on wheel lip look unfortunately if you have an issue that's going to be what costs money
as much as i want to do that whole look practically it's not worth the hassle and always just incase you DO have an issue with the air ride you're going to just damage the subframe/exhaust etc rather than the wings and bodywork well 

[George10]

Yeah I know, but I had the Monzas on which tuck loads so couldn't understand it.

The cars in today so I'll keep you posted on the issue 

[George10]

According to studio they can't find an issue with it, all they said it could be is the management but any accuair people on here know how expensive it is so want to know 100% before I make a decision

[stuart-88]

I see the poWlice stopped you, what was that about?!

[George10]

Yeah wankers. Pulled me for wearing my seatbelt under my arm instead of over my shoulder. £60 fine! Am I f*ck paying that!

[chrisr763]

Sounds umm... comfy! 

You penis! How's it going with studio?

[George10]

The cars back now, they reckon it was the management so that needs replacing. The car is now working fine so I don't understand how it could be the management. I want a definite answer as the e-level management is serious money!

[Dave7692]

Such a shame to hear about what happened, your car was looking so good.

Are you not covered by any form of warranty for the parts?

[George10]

Thanks mate; the cars now staying.

No it's not covered unfortunately. I've been in contact with accuair so just waiting for a reply.

[xjay1337]

As I have said before if you have ride monitor enabled it can does occasionally throw a wobbly and dump one corner or multiple corners of the car.
It happened to me, a guy called Hamidi and also a guy called Olly we all run E-level.

It's not a fault with the management as such it's just the inputs it gets are intepreted in the wrong way.

Do another system calibration or even better turn off the Ride Monitor/active ride aspect of the system which is what I did about 8 months ago and I've had no issues.

Out of interest, whereabouts did you pick up your rear boot lid spoiler??

I've seen a many on eBay etc. but dont trust the build quality or outcome -

i.e I dont want that gap between boot and spoiler, want it close to r32 as possible

Cheer!
