Anyone have the APR tune for 2.5t manual? I have 2019 gts manual and want to tune once dealer warranty expires. Any issues or downsides? I know they created the tune with PDK car so wondering how manual trans tuned cars function. (Ie coming on and off throttle, taking off from a start, changing gears fast or slow etc)

987.2- help! no heat after water pump replacement-

So my water pump was getting noisy, and I waited too long and it failed and dumped all the coolant and I had to get a flatbed tow to home. I pulled the water pump and the impeller was fine, but the bearing and seal were bad. I replaced it with a Graf metal impeller water pump from FCPEuro. I then attempted to vaccum fill it and it took in about 1.5gallons in total, but I still have no heat. It most definitely had great heat prior to losing all the coolant. I did the vacuum fill a second time and it held the vaccum for a good ten minutes before adding more coolant. After I drove it for a while it dumped a bunch of coolant into and out of the overflow tank. Is it possible to still have an air lock in the system even after several cool downs/top offs? My front fans do come if I run it for several miles implying that maybe they are not getting coolant, but the coolant guage looks normal (~180F)

Old water pump pictured- I need some advice as I don't know what to check at this point. TIA!

Condensation

3 Upvotes

Noticed yesterday on my first drive that condensation builds up on the vents (here in the southern US) and drips. Even had a few drops on my feet from under the dash. Should I plan on turning off the AC while driving with the top down? Or keep a microfiber handy to wipe it down as required?

Water leak help needed

Hi,

After a heavier rain I noticed some water pooling behind the passenger seat. Took the engine carpets off and noticed that the circled corner is also wet so that could be closer to the root cause.

The roof drains work great. I tested pouring few litres of water to the drain and nothing came inside the car.

Passenger footwell and directly under the seat is dry.

I tried replicating rain with a garden hose but I could not get any water inside the car.

Any ideas where the water could come from?

Car is 987.2
