Dumb Question Thread - No Flaming Allowed

Looking for some help, just bought a 06 SMG vert that had the SMG pump replaced ~2 years ago (~2k miles ago). Car drives fine, but recently got the gear cog and INPA says that it's got Fault 35: Auswertung Hydraulikdrucksensor, showing -12.5bar when car is off and !65524 when car is running. Any ideas on what to check? Sensor/wiring comes to mind, but wondering if there's anything I need to consider?

Pressure sensor on the pump may have died, or as you noted, wiring is somehow compromised. However, if that is the case, then the pump probably should either run continuously or not run at all. Both are bad. Although I suppose, the sensor could be reading ok most of the time.

Pressure sensor: 0.5 V -> 0 bar and 4.58 V -> 100 bar

What rear spring length should I be using during coil over install with a Rogue Engineering articulating spring perch? (600lb weight, striving for ~13" rear height)

Getting differing answers was hoping for your first hand experience.

best oil filter? I'm looking for some opinions, thanks

I just stick to the OEM Mahle. Filters down to 5 microns (in a reply to my inquiry).

If he doesn't have subframe raising bushings then I think it should be possible.

Thanks, that’s what I was thinking too. Although they might have issues using a torque wrench to tighten the cover back on evenly.

For the first time in my life, i'm in the fantastic position to buy and install the CSL carbon airbox

Do these units (Karbonious, even Turner) ever actually go on sale on Black Friday or am I dreaming?

I am guessing there is very little margin / discount on these but just in case there is reason to hold out til November, I'm very open to good news.

There's probably plenty of margin on the Turner boxes, they very regularly have them on sale from their "full price" (which is quite frankly ludicrous compared to the Karb box in terms of cost/quality). I think a Turner box is only a good value prop if it's significantly cheaper than Karb.

They do go on sale for holidays often. 10-15%.

I got all my strut bar, roof, and more below retail. At this point you'll be waiting for Black Fri.

I think there are deals for Turner's on holidays.

Hey anyone know for sure if you can remove the differential cover while diff is still in? My friend asked me as he doesn’t have a lift (just stands and floor jacks) . I said think it should, just support the pumpkin, remove the two rear and then the bolts for the cover’s perimeter. Never tried it myself. I know the two main rear can be replaced although tight fit. Not sure if any obstructions keep from accessing the cover, like top row ones?
Thanks
