Modification Question Start of exterior journey

6 Upvotes

Just starting to add stuff to my Q70's exterior need opinions on if this splitter I installed. Does it compliment my car or is it too flush and have no impact on the visual. It's a Q50 splitter since there's very few Q70 aftermarket parts. I'm still trying to decide if I love it or not. Need opinions and suggestions.

Samply my questions:

Will it work an +2018 oem car play with my 2014 diesel work?

General Question Vr30 swap on a 2015 awd q50 3.7

2 Upvotes

My valve body went out recently and I plan on just completely vr30 swapping the trans instead of buying a valve body. I just was coming to here so I don’t miss any steps or parts. anyone who had done something like this before some help would be great. Just wondering a list of parts needed to complete this, I plan to take it to a mechanic and have him install it but I know there is more that goes into the swap than just simply the trans. I apologize for my lack of knowledge but someone who knows a little something about this would be greatly appreciated!

I have the JoyeAuto module installed but it doesn’t show the CarPlay. All factory settings work & I see the CarPlay on my phone Bluetooth but can’t get it to show on the screen. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to get a different module that pair well with the Hybrids?

Currently looking at a 1-owner 2020 q50s rwd with carbon fiber package and is a couple hundred miles under 19,000 for $28k OTD.

Is this on par with current market or am I ridiculously overpaying?

General Question Anyone know what this could be?

6 Upvotes

I need help trying to diagnose this grinding sound I’m hearing on my right side of my car. It sounds like it’s coming from my rear brake, I went and remove the tires and checked both the fronts and rears pads and rotors and did not find any damage. I first started hearing this sound about three days ago, and it sucks because I only have an hour of daylight after work to work on my car so I haven’t found any answers.

When I’m driving the car, I don’t notice the sound until I engage the brakes, but I do notice after releasing the brakes, I still hear the grinding sound for approximately 5 to 10 seconds. I also noticed that, depending on how hard I break, it increases the sound of the grinding/scraping noise kind of like in the video.

If anyone has any idea what this sound could be or advice on what areas I should be looking in, I will greatly appreciate any help.

Repair Question Q50 problems

So basically everything was running smoothly since I started driving but I was literally just like going 15 in some traffic and all of a sudden it almost felt like someone was tapping the break as I let off the petal at first I wasn’t paying attention to my gears or anything just tryna get out but after I pulled over it didn’t feel like it was when I let off the gas, it just wouldn’t shift into first. I turn off the car and back on and a check engine light pops up. I used my code reader and these the codes I got. Just got the car used at 120k miles and learning more about these cars go figure this happens immediately. Any help would be appreciated ask me anything

Parts Question Transmission

Hey guys honestly just looking for advice. So the other day my 2015 q50s 3.7 was driving fine and the next morning a check engine came for code u0101 with no other code(vehicle was in limp mode and gears did not display on gauge and shifted rough into reverse). I then had to take it to my mechanic in which he said the trans pan was leaking. We then got an electrician to diagnose it and he states that the tcm is fried. my mechanic recommends swapping the trans/or rebuilding it, it is gonna cost me around 4k but im just looking to see if anyone else has advice on what else to do if maybe the valve body is the issue and will fix it or if doing a vr30 trans swap is better or honestly just what to do to make my moneys worth it and maybe save myself money too please.

Parts Question Idler pulley bearings part number

3 Upvotes

I have 2014 Sport AWD with 75k miles that's needing some love. Does anyone have the part numbers for the bearings inside the idlers?

I have a new belt and tensioner I'm going to replace, just don't feel like putting the money into new idler pulleys when I'm more than capable of pressing new bearings into the current ones.
