Hi Mr fear monger. It is extremely difficult to build up carbon on the back of the intake valves when the correct oil is used, that oil is changed within its service life, and the EGR system is properly functional. Carbon should never be on the back of the intake valves in a normally functioning...
One thing virtually everyone seems to miss when fear mongering this topic is the #1 aspect in preventing buildup of carbon on GDI engines is REGULAR OIL CHANGES. The crank ventilation capture system only works if the oil is within spec. The #2 largest help is regularly driving the vehicle to...
Disabling auto start stop in forscan traditionally is done by disabling the battery state monitor system. On previous generations of vehicles this was fine, on this generation of vehicle it makes the dash light up like a Christmas tree. The 4Dtech solution is the correct way to do it now. For...
This has been an issue for me since 1500 miles. Can only use the r button for the first 30 seconds on startup and then it doesn't work the rest of the day. Any suggestions?
My routine was the following:
The first and second oil changes in really didn't take the RPM beyond 4k and generally didn't hold RPM for very long. After the 3rd oil change I consider the engine sufficient "broken in".
1st oil change at 250 miles, inspected filter (some debris, nothing...

Not having a steering wheel is the reason the curtain airbag bag geometry can be completely different on the passenger side because the vehicle can have a massive pillow style air bag instead of a smaller wheel style air bag in the steering wheel for the driver, but go on i can continue to fend...
For like literally the 1000000 time.... the United States does not get a drivers side grab handle. This is due to the small overlap crash rating and the need to improve this by where the curtain airbag is located in the vehicle on the drivers side. Unless MASSIVE improvements are made to the...
Every supercharged internal combustion engine requires somewhere for excess intake pressure to go in the event the throttle snaps closed. This is referred to as a boost control valve, blow off valve, recirc valve or bypass valve. These all refer to the same fundamental function of relieving high...
Hello everyone. I am trying to see if there is a way to adjust the temperature setpoint for the heated steering wheel. I have scoured the asbuilt data and can't find any information on this, but I have another thread where a couple people told me I could with forscan and one person even said...
While this article explains what the cam phasers are and that there is an issue, it does not explain why there is an issue. Is this a quality problem? Is there some revision issue? Is this an issue at assembly?
