with all of your VW dealings I'm sure you have the Vag Com software on a laptop? Or a really good scan tool?

vag-com, yup.
my ram had me wishing I had something more, then I priced a DRB3 and went back to swapping parts to diagnose.

I hear you..

This is what I have, it's older, and the windows boot up is slow, but its been great, updated to model year 18 (last upgrade) and has all of the European software on it as well.

I think I gave $800, still in the case with all of the accessories and manuals.

Erik and Stef let me know why I was having no craigslist luck on tires (car needs a pair if I didn’t mention).
Local news outlet OWNS classifies there. KSL is it.

130 mounted balanced and out the door for a pair. Fuck that stupid tire size but i know it fits as the car sits.

Facebook marketplace has pretty much taken over everything, Offerup gets some stuff, Craigslist is dead. KSL is more Northern Utah than down here.

Tons on KSL up in SLC.

I hate fbm. But you’re right. People have no taste.

Isn't the allroad AWD?   Shouldnt tire size be symmetrical on all 4?

MMTR Allroad Idiocy
« Reply #42 on: October 22, 2019, 12:19:32 AM »
Hahahahahahahaaaaaa

True.

Bunked out in JT’s trailer. Was a project to swap stock wheels on and that kept me in town*. Capt Rob’s shop to the rescue.

I’m getting rear toe adjusted first thing tomorrow before I leave SLC. I’ll regret it if I don’t from handling/ stability, and I don’t know if tires would make it 2500 miles home without showing cord.

Oil leaks will be dealt with swiftly before dd status. It stinks at idle rest.
It’s also likely gonna get a tune once it’s fully healthy and all basics are attended to. I expect more from 250hp awd 6sp.

Dumpy butt look is even more severe with slightly smaller rolling stock. I don’t know what struts were swapped on but it’s dumb. One could say: idiotic.

*the 18s on it are larger center bore than stock, and it has ~20mm spacers on it which means over length lug bolts. Had to get eccentric ring off spacer to run spacer with stock wheel, or find/ cut shorter lug bolts.
I should have probably put a pair of tires on the rear on the existing wheels and saved the room and weight of hauling 4 tires cross country. Too late now and I didn’t realize the quick fix wasn’t gonna be quick until it was too late.
