DCT gearboxes do the same as a manual gearbox, just with mechatronics rather than hands and feet. Would I drop two gears to accelerate by whipping...
If your 5G is from 2000 or later, there is a fast idle device built into the throttle bodies called a Wax Unit. This has coolant flowing to/from...
Looks like the 6G is different to the 5G, where the sensor screws onto the front of the stand, but threads into the pivot bolt. Assuming the 6G is...
