I started this thread over 4 years ago :astonished: I've put in around 1200 hours since it was released. The next big patch is released to beta on Monday 27th. It includes multi-crew and an avatar creator. I entirely understand that it is a marmite game, but as a huge fan of Elite and Frontier I...

Just an observation, but the throttle body seems to be attached in 3 different positions to the inlet in the images above. Is that likely to matter at all, or have no impact?

That looks absolutely brilliant. Bet you are looking forward to getting it mapped. :cool: Can I ask what length of M6 threaded bar you bought, did you cut down a 1 metre bar or buy them pre-sized. What length did you use in the end to attach the fuel rail? Which model of VW did you find the...

How are people dealing with the coolant pipe that the intake rests and puts pressure on? Are you shortening the pipe, replacing with an aftermarket samco or silimar or some other mechanism. I wonder if it would be useful to put together a guide for fitting the inlet and what additional parts are...

Are you able to say which one's are required. I had a look on the website but it wasn't immediately obvious.

Thanks @optical, a group buy on the silicone hose and battery cover sounds like it may be a good idea.

What length of silicone hose are people going for?

So if I put the standard map back on via the RSTuner it will still be locked? I assume only specific people will have the ability to unlock it or will any mapper be able to unlock it?

A quick question, even with a very early RSTuner does the ECU get locked? This isn't something I taken into consideration when I bought the Intake, I'd kind of assumed that I could just get it mapped. I take it I'd need to get the ECU unlocked before someone else will be able to map it? My...

It'll be interesting to see what filter setups people go for and which cams are best for use with the intake. From reading an old thread on the RS2 the 197 cams seemed to be quite popular to use with it.

New knock sensor and oil pressure sensor fitted and the warning lights are gone. Oil pressure was tested as being OK, so looks like faulty sensors were the cause.

Thanks, its definitely the knock sensor that's disconnected as its a brown connector with the red and white wire as you mention. Given the error I was having I assumed it was the oil level sensor until I looked at a image with the sensor locations. Do you have any idea's on which oil pressure...

Apologies it looks like its the knock sensor that is disconnected and not the oil level sensor 😧 I actually have a new Valeo knock sensor lying around so I'll get it fitted. Not sure now why the STOP and OIL light has come on, so maybe there is something a bit more terminal going on...

Looking for a little advice. I had the STOP and OIL lights appearing on my 182. My initial thoughts were oh crap that'll be the engine on the way out then, but after a bit of investigation I found that the Oil Level Sensor had become disconnected and I assume this is what is causing the error...

When you put the wiper motor back in, it mounts on a post which is quite easy to miss. If its not quite mounted right you'll get the sort of noise your describing.
