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

[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!

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.

Yeah I'm not buying another management and the cars seems fine now. I'll do what you suggested.
Cheers Man

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!

My spoiler is a genuine r32 one. I found some guy selling it on ebay which he look off his golf due to being written off. They're hard to come across but worth every penny

[George10]

Update on the suspension - the accuair manifold is broken so the golf is basically dead!

The manifolds are ridiculous money so need to think of an alternative route as the car can't move

Didn't you buy it new?

Would be under warranty.

They come up second hand on Edition.

Send a nice email to accuair.

Airlift have replaced my manifold & controller out of warranty :)

[George10]

The kit is out of warranty - I've also emailed accuair and they couldn't give a sh*t. Don't really wanna buy a second hand one due to too many pricks that re willing to sell something which is broken.

[xjay1337]

The manifold is a fairly quick and easy swap over can you not force the car up somehow? or is it parked all down...

Accuair didn't reply to my e-mail about a broken sensor at all.

It's not hideously expensive all things considered.

I can't get the car up at all, once the air builds up to compression it then dumps everything out of it.

Im not sure if it's just the manifold

[Gti_Mad]

y don't u take the manifold off and carefully strip apart as it will only b a seal or valve letting go under pressure

[omeydz]

Hope this gets fixed easy and soon so you can get back to enjoying the car. Sorry your having all these air troubles bro :(

Either ECU or the manifold.
Money would be on the manifold unless the touchpad is lighting up strange.

[George10]

Touchpad is lighting up strange - just gonna go for v2

how much that gona cost u George

[George10]

Around £1,300 if I have to get new accuair management but will probably go v2

[xjay1337]

A new manifold is about £500, and ECU is around £200. So it would be cheaper to replace the parts on the E-level things?

It may only just be one part (eg the ECU) so I would maybe change the ECU first and see how that works out... or find a friend who has E-Level and try their touchpad and ECU (easy to change)

[George10]

The only reason why I want to change the whole kit is because if it f*cks up whilst my rotiforms are on it'll ruin them. Bye bye 4 grand. The only way I'm gonna know is to change everything so may as well get v2
