Got airbag warning light up

I scan the code

Remove the front passenger seat and clean the belt lock with contact cleaner and its associated connector

Reinstall back the seat and no more airbag warning..cheap fix

 

[Mel279]

Removing the airbox wire mesh to give more airflow

Reinstall back everything but didn't feel any different, maybe a bit less fuel consumption

Replacing spark plugs

The new plug on the left

Install with a torque around 22ft/lb

Updating my ecu, smg and ASC software with Progman SSS

After the update, feel much smoother gear change and re-update it back to csl smg software as already installed gone due to the update.

More updates

Replace my rear trailing arm bush with whiteline product




Replace the front lower control arms with cheap chinese parts


Service the vanos unit replace the vanos seal plate




Install 1st stage macht schnell intake kit





Dyno run, seem below my expectation and sadly, they strap it on the wrong part and bend my lower rear chamber arms

 

[Mel279]

continues






Lastly, change the diff axel pinion center shaft seal due to leak, part is cheap but the labor is lots of works
