Take a read here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1fz-trans-swaps-6r80-10r80-and-more.1330551/#post-15322509 It’s a great thread with real tech.

Like @bloc said, there is no filter. Though, as I understand it, the rear HVAC does not draw in fresh air from outside. Any contaminants would have to come from in the cabin through that grille in the trim. On the back of the grille, there are provisions to help keep things from being drawn...

If the vacuum doesn’t work the rear side trim comes off easy enough imo, a few fasteners and clips. Edit: the third row seat on that side will need to come out if still installed.

The “grille” in the trim is the air intake for the rear HVAC. Does the sound stop when the rear blower fan is turned off? Years ago I had a leaf make its way into the rear fan, causing an imbalance and made similar noise. Removed leaf and all good again.

I did not. Interesting…

Maybe post #18 in this thread tagged him? …

Bumping this thread to give @LC4LIFE and huddexpo.com credit for having an excellent product and backed by real customer service. My order was lost in shipping. I contacted @LC4LIFE, I received prompt response, and was asked to wait till it could be taken up with USPS. I had an update the next...

While anything is possible… I don’t think this is a simple cut/splice wiring work around scenario. There are 2 modules added, 4 connectors used, and the programming is done through the “smart access” ECU which is the key/immobilizer module. All that to say, if you can’t live with the pitfalls...

Yes… it shuts off when unlocked/opened and has to be restarted. The instructions also state it shuts off after 10 minutes, and has a total of 20 minute run time before requiring a “manual” start. I agree it’s not the most user friendly, but I wanted OEM integration. And the wife is happy she...

I installed the OEM(PT398-6014) remote start kit on the wife’s 2015 on Saturday. Very easy install process of the parts, all plug and play, though it does require programming. The instructions use techstream, but I was able to program with an Autel tool. The contents of the kit, Autel, and...

Take this with a grain of salt as I am no 3FE expert… Has any re-mapping been done to the ECM for the larger throttle body? To my knowledge, with an EFI system, the diameter of the throttle valve is part of the air mass calculation. IE, 5grams per second through a 70mm bore is less air than...

I edited post above to include pics of metal found in the oil filter of a failed engine.

I’ve been with audi service for a long time… we went through a very similar situation post covid, their newest engine plant in Mexico had assembly/debris issues causing con-rod bearing failures. Same result, catastrophic failures, metal throughout the lubrication system. This only applied to the...
