    I am glad that:
    1 - It's not my car
    2 - I didn't do it
    3 - don't have to pay for it
    I hope nobody was hurt in the events leading up to today's instructional video.
    Thanks from Portugal Charles!

      aterack833 i personaly work a lot on FWD and FWD engines are build different
      First of all they are transversals not longitudinal
      So it’s easier to work when the engine is in, even more since the transmission need to be disconnected with less space
      But when talking about longitudinals engines it’s generally more simple to throw it out in my opinion

      If someone makes an engine autopsy channel of a miss-shift when those believe they wanted to go from third to fourth when they went from third to second when they believe the engine wound to at least 10,000 RPM before self destructing. As the few believe they wanted a diesel dropped off after it ran away when those had to do an autopsy as to what damage the runaway did.

Looking forward to soon being able to show the World how to “burn rubber instead of toxic gasoline.” Maybe we will get the chance to do a little head to head, friendly race with our Golfs? Might not be totally level playing field though because “R caR is cleaner than your caR!”

      I ain’t no expert. . . but the ECM should limit the RPM so that an inadvertent shift into a lower gear should not destroy the engine. We didn’t hear what the respective ratios of second and third were in this car. . . My Humble (see what I did there?) opinion. . .

      Bram Moerman he forced it into second gear and dropped the clutch, so the physical speed of the car and transmission at such a low gear is what overrevved it, not him pushing the gas

    • @francoisdvanderwesthuizen
      @francoisdvanderwesthuizen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Because of the red lining in 3rd gear and the speed he was flying in and accidentally forced it into 2nd gear he mechanically overrided all ecm safety measures and it being a mechanical override it is simply impossible for the ecm to react to make things right. When accelerating and you hit the max possible rpm your ecm simply won't allow the engine to turn faster, in case of a downshift from a higher gear at redline rpm into a lower gear the rpm of the engine would be much higher then the ecm or engine can handle...

    Nice video! I’m guessing this is virtually impossible in a stock DSG setup since it won’t let you down shift if the revs are too high? I always assumed this but just want to make sure. What about stage 2 DSG setup, would it have prevented downshifting?

    • @jamesbowen2105

      For stage 2 engine tune you have to independently tune DSG transmission to a stage one time to not damage it.

    I bought an e36 that was money shifted and repaired the head with junkyard valves. It bent all 12 intake valves but caused no damage to the valve seats or pistons. No cyl head damage, no loose or broken parts either. Just gotta watch the cooling system (+ subsequent cyl head cracks) and the bmw m/s5x based engines are bulletproof.

    Seen a few like this, normally get a few / nearly all the valves totaled. Usually missed gear or downshift like yours. One engine was reduced to shrapnel ! I have a friend who works in the VA group who has told me they can see if any re programing has been done even if it was later removed ,with lot of the data stored permenantly. This has shown up when there have been clutch failures due to tuning ,needless to say it voided the warranty. I guess there must be hidden files in the ecu software. A very enjoyable video.. especially watching someone else work.😉

    • @Blazer02LS
      @Blazer02LS 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, most modern cars will show if there has been any tampering with the factory ECM, some of the new ones even record if the ECM has been removed and for how long. That means you go in for a warranty repair and they discover the ECU has been out of the vehicle for XXXX miles and hours and was just replaced, Instant warranty void. Then there are others where you try to do any tuning and it bricks the vehicle.

Like a hydraulic shock. None of mine squeeze together. I can get a few to like move. But none of them squeeze together like a hydraulic shock. Does the intake and the exhaust side the rocker arm tappets squeeze together? Or do they stay stiff?
