The bar has a warranty. take it back for replacement as it shouldn't do that

I think I finally figured out the culprit. End link bolts need to tighten down like crazy to avoid that noise, First I thought I did over tight them but later found a DIY for coilovers which gives torque specs for end link bolts of 60Nm Any way I tight them as far as I can (did not have a torque wrench with 60Nm range) and noise seems to go way for now. But I think better tight them again with a proper torque wrench.

I had that exact same issue a few months back with my golf, took me ages to find it

Later I tried to re tight the sway bar end link bolts and the result of applying 60 Nm torque is..



So as a temporary solution this was used. Two 10mm bolts from bunnings cut to proper length with SS washers. 60Nm? I will give them 100Nm .. lol



Definitely these sway bars need adjustable end links for stop pre loading. ( at least my one) Also put them back again in medium stiff setting because handling is bit unpredictable with high stiff setting. These will stay there until I get front sway bar installed.

Also got Eibach Pro lowering springs. Look good but they wouldn't go in until I get Koni's

New short UHF antenna installed. This one is more civilised for urban driving

Today I picked up few stuff waited for me in the post office and a big box from APR VIC master dealer. Apart from big box other items are R8 coil packs, PFR7B double platinum spark plugs, engine oil, oil filter, G13 coolant, digital torque adaptor and few tools Dean from FASTSTUFF lend me for free .



Any guesses what is in the big box?

[Ramee]

It is this.. I waited almost 5 weeks to get it from APR and finally here

[Ramee]

Let me open the box please



This is what came with the APR K04 kit



Wastegate and exhaust turbine



How heavy is a K04 turbo ?

Can't wait to see the DIY install. Looks like you need a couple bottles of whisky on standby.
