Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2001 F350 - Trans Temp Sensor 4r100 Installation?

I have an isspro sensor that I need to install on my 4r100. I have it all installed except for the actual sending unit. My question is where is the best place to put it?

I've watched multiple YouTube videos and it seems a lot of people use the test port on the driver side above the linkage. I found out the hard way that it is a very poor choice of location. A lot of people say that the best way is to drop the pan drill a hole and weld in the bung? I was wondering would it be possible to put it on the "out" line on the transmission oil headed to the cooler? 01 f-350 7.3

Golf IV R32 :: Temp Rise In MVB Still Fan Kick On And Temp Drops

Ok, so I'm getting the typical P2181 Cooling system performance. So i replaced my t-stat and ect sensor but no change. When i'm looking at my mvb's in 01 and 17 they're reading the same. I check my hose temp and both upper and lower are similar in heat. I can watch the temp rise in the mvb's till the fans kick on and the temp will drop.

Now, at start up it'll literally take about 9-12 min to warm up in this 20 degree weather. I was driving home tonight and got off I-5 and at the light with the heat on I watched the temp gauge drop from operating temp to almost the notch above cold, and I could feel the heat cool down coming out of the vents.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Compressor Still Engaged When Temp Control Switch Turned To Warm

1997 F150... What part of the control system tells the compressor to turn on and off? After not having air conditioning for a year or more I replaced the broken blend door.

When the a/c is turned on and the temp control switch is turned to cold, I get cold air. When I turn the temp control switch to warm, the air coming out of the vents is very warm. However when I do this I noticed that the compressor is still engaged. I think that at this point the compressor should disengage.

Golf VI R :: Heat Shield Noise After TBE Installation

Ordered my TBE couple of weeks ago, installed last week. I have been running the 100 octane tune for an entire week. Decided a couple of days ago to put it back to stock to see the difference. When I was running the 100 oct, I was pretty much on it the whole time. When I went back to stock I noticed some heat shield noise so I took it back to have them take a look. While on the lift I noticed a lot of soot in three different places.

Golf IV R32 :: CEL On / Fault Code After Recent Cam Installation

Had the cams installed about a month ago, and haven't had a CEL on in the car since I got it.. has been 100% trouble free.

Drove about 30 mins somewhere tonight with nothing out of the ordinary, and after leaving my friends house about 3 mins down the road the CEL came on.. Car wasn't idling rough, didn't misfire, didn't sound rough at all.. I pulled over and re tightened the gas cap just incase that was the reason (hadn't driven the car in about 3 days) and drove off, made it home with nothing changed. on the way I did a few pulls in all gears, and the car had all its power, no weird sounds from the engine or exhaust.

Got home and scanned, and this is what I got :

Address 01: Engine
Controller: 022 906 032 EG
Component: United R32 G 6404
Coding: 0000132
Shop#: WSC 31414
1 Fault Found

16398 - Bank 1: Camshaft B (Exhaust): Retard Setpoint not Reached (Over-Advanced)
P0014 - 008 - Implausable signal

Readiness:0000 0000

So.. not sure if its anything serious or not, or where to start..

Golf V R32 :: Clunky Suspension After Installation Of Coil Over?

I recently installed my FK Silverlines and they ride great and look even better. However, they are very clunky. In fact, my whole front end is clunky. Last night I double checked all bolts and retorqued everything with load on the suspension by using a floor jack under the control arm. It sounds like everything is loose and coming apart.

Golf IV R32 :: After Installation Of Clutch Rattles Harshly - Won't Shifting

So I have a issue at hand with a clutch I purchased and fly wheel. I bought a Spec Stg 2+ kit and fidanza lw flywheel. As soon as I installed it the rattle seemed a little harsh and would change noise levels every time I would engage and disengage it. Then the shifting became a issue about 1000 miles in not being able to get it into gear (thats what she said) the clutch felt spongy and not solid. So I just recently pulled it out (real men dont pull out). Everything looked fine...odd.

SO I contacted Spec and they told me after inspecting the pictures that the self adjusting pressure plate was mis-adjusted and stuck and needed to be put into a vice to release the springs to put it back to normal. Hence why I had bad shifting eventually etc. Had less than 10,000 miles on the set up...fml. Spec has been extremely useful but I do not have the funds to buy another clutch from them. So im debating on putting it back into my car after resetting the pressure plate or just getting another clutch kit from a different company. I was also told to just go back to the stock clutch and pressure plate with the fidanza flywheel

Golf VI R :: Headlights Won't Oscillating After Installation Of Sport Springs?

'12 Golf R I really think it's just coincidence but want to ask before scheduling an appointment with the dealer.

I replaced the springs w/ VWR Sport Springs and upgraded brake rotors and pads last week. Didn't drive the car at night until last night, headlamps were all the way down and didn't move around corners like they had. Also, when turning the headlights on they don't oscillate (motion checks) like they should.

Also installed the Hella LED tail lights a few weeks ago but the headlamps worked as they should after that, at least until last night. Byte 18 = 21 (no fog), I do still have both L & R Back up light error.

Just curious if there's anything I should check before taking it to the dealer?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - LED Dome Light Installation Malfunction

Upon installing LED interior lights in the dome lighting in my 2003 Jetta GL 5 Speed, my power door locks, power windows, interior lighting, and license plates lights no longer work. I looked at fuse 14 (the fuse associated with interior lighting) and it was not blown. I also tried replacing the LED lights with the lights I had removed while putting in the LEDs, and everything still does not work. Another thing to note is that during installation, the 3 lights in between the drive and passenger seats in the front worked when LEDs were inserted into them. It was not until I replaced the passenger side rear light with an LED that all of these malfunctions started to occur.

Golf VI R :: After Installation Of Rear Sway AFS Stuck / Lights Pointing Down

So as the title states, rear sway install, no issues (so I thought ) go to test drive the car afterward, and the headlights go through the normal sweep, but, they don't come up and level out, instead, they are pointing 10ft in front of the car.

The test drive was otherwise flawless, the R responds well to swaybars, my Mk6 TDi did as well, I just have the rear H&R bar on the softer/street setting for now, but it makes a notable difference just on its own in the soft setting, I'm pleased.

Back to the issue now at hand, I researched and so far came up with there is a sensor on the drivers side LCA on the rear of the arm, and one on the rear subframe that has a push rod type arm (looks like a servo) attached to it and a bracket on the subframe, Is this correct? The sensor in the rear is intact, plugged in, and I traced the wire back to the wheel well and there is no evidence of a ground, pulled or severed wire. I have no scanning equipment and am leery of going to the dealer and letting them plug into the ECM for anything now that I am tuned, not really for warranty, more for I don't want to risk anything being corrupted or altered.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Aftermarket Radio Installation Lead To Trunk Light Lit Up

Installed aftermarket radio with no problems in 2006 Jetta. Ironically, now the trunk open light is lit on dashboard even though the trunk is definitely shut and the horn wont beep when locking with the keyfob although the doors do lock. I researched here and found some had to push their radio (oem radio) in a little bit to make contact with "microswitch?" and then horn worked..

Im not sure if its that car thinks trunk is open when it isn't or that it thinks the radio is stolen (when it clearly isnt, just an aftermarket) one and thus won't actually arm the alarm..........however, doors are locked, and red light blinks in the door as well as the exterior visual confirmation of alarm being on.

Golf VI R :: Loud Noise Between 2500 To 3500 After Installation Of Exhaust - Vibration

Recently had an aftermarket turbo back exhaust system installed. After driving for a short while, I noticed that between 2500 and 3500 RPMs the noise was very loud. Once I hit the highway (in which the engine almost exclusively hangs around those numbers), it was almost unbearable to sit in the car while having that constant droning sound. I have had and been in cars with aftermarket exhaust systems before and never heard anything quite like this. It is pretty tame below 2500 and once you hit 4000, it sounds quite nice and that horrible drone goes away. I really trust the shop that did the work, so I doubt it was faulty install. Could it be a faulty design or maybe just the one that I received?

This exhaust is from a reputable maker and they designed this system specifically for the Golf R. I did have some other mods done at the same time (Coilovers, Engine Mount Insert, Intake and a Tune). I know the insert may cause a little bit of vibration and hence a little bit of extra noise, but nothing like this. While driving on the highway at 3000 RPMs, I cannot even clearly see the cars behind me through the rear windshield as there is so much vibration from all the noise.

Forgot to mention, this TBE is resonated with a CAT, so even more reason for concern. Would expect it to be quiet by comparison to a CAT-less non-resonated system
