I work in automotive so I often travel to VW R&D in Wolfsburg for cubing and I can say that VW quality standards are still high.
I'm surprised as I would expect a noiseless car from BMW.
I had an NCFL Miata for 4 years and I loved this car, I sold it. It generated less interior rattle and...
I think Toyota doesn't care, 5th year into serial production and they haven't improved interior plastic trim fit and the noise they generate, while it's so easy to be done by OEM by just adding more sound absorbing foams or felts on the plastic parts. I'm very disappointed with interior quality...
I'm thinking to change diff oil on my car around 10k km and found this post. I used Motul Gear 300 as a transmission oil on my Miata, which I used on track, and never had any issues with transmission. When you compare specs you can see that LS version has a bit higher density and therefore this...
Hello, can someone post pictures of inside of 62410WAA01 plastic garnish B-pillar cover along with this "bracket" 61341WAA01 above it, both marked yellow on the sketch, thx.
Yes there is, I just noticed that "comfort access" is not related to keyless access but to "rolling windows 3/4 down for more comfortable access" and this happens exactly when you press unlock button twice. Changing this in settings menu solved the problem, thank you.
Hello, when I press unlock button 2x on the key fob, both doors get unlocked (this is OK, as desired and set in settings) but at the same time, both windows start rolling down, they stop more or less in the middle (rolling down is not desired when pressing 2x unlock button). Function "hold...
Did you remove the top cover with 3 holes? I thought this is the part one was supposed to tighten, in order to get rid of clunking noise. I'm going to dealership at the end of the month in order to have a look at my steering gear.
I may have a similar issue. Recently it seems like there's a "force feedback" coming from the left front wheel but it's mostly noticeable on the steering wheel. The feeling is like there is a one time "hit" from the left side of the steering wheel with a subjective clatter noise. I never hit any...
Does anyone know if the "front side" of door handle can be easily disassembled from the rest without removing entire door handle assembly from the door? It looks like it can be pried from the rest of the handle. Does the handle from BMW G29, part number 51219491462 match J29 Supra? Looks like it...
Has anyone replaced a quarter side glass? I'm sure it must be cut out, same as a windshield but did anyone do this in a safe manner, not scratching the chassis or damaging the roof's upholstery, maybe using WRD Auto Glass Tools?
After what time did it start to look like that? I've been having my car for 5 months now and I already see color difference in the quarter glass rubber vs upper door seal trim. Washed it only twice so far. Also all rubber surfaces around the side glazing seem to scratch very easily :/
I worked several years in R&D of Tenneco Monroe, so I'm sure there will be no issues. Generally my point was, once you measure rim's offset, to take into account that finally after tire is assembled on the rim, outer protective edge of the lip may be further more out than the edge of the rim...
Thank you to all of you, who helped me to define a proper offset for my set of wheels. I bought Japan Racing SL-02 Matt Black, in this size: 19x9" ET27 and 19x10" ET32. My goal was to offset the wheels a little bit more than OEM, but still keep 'em under the fenders with approx. same distance of...
Supra is my daily so I drive it during winter as well, regardless either there's snow on the roads or not. Life is too short to keep cars like this under the blanket. We all say we will keep this car for life but in reality we sell it after some time, therefore, another reason to simply drive it...
