    There should be a thread for this!!

    I started the car with my passenger seat out. Now my airbag light and traction control light are on permanently. Will I have to pay audi to turn them off now ?

    Someone with vagcom close by can delete the airbag mil. The esp should go away after you drive a bit.

    I shut my hood once with the release cable disconnected.

    Oh, and installed my head gasket upside down. Didn't figure that one out until I had started the car and it wasn't running right. vce1232000 pointed it out for me.

    Buy an xtool vag401 for $50 bucks on amazon... Done!

    I lowered my car on the lift and a chain fall hooked the hood and creased the center.

    This thread reminded me of something that happened to me a few years ago in my old house. I posted it on the Porsche forum so just copied and pasted It for you guys to read here .. all this is absolutely true down to the last detail...

    You guys wanna hear how my day went. Started off with trying to get the parking brake adjusted .seamed okay , went tight as I could then backed it off 4 clicks as the Bently mentioned. Got in the car tested it in the garage seamed fine now it stops after 3 clicks instead of five. great . I get out and decide to bring my Wifes Taurus in from the street and put it in the other side of the garage. As I am backing up I notice the door of my 911 open on the other side of the garage and get out to close it. I get back in the taurus and as I am backing it into the garage I look over and there is my 911 heading down the driveway towards the road. I jamed the taurus into park and dive out close the door so the open door isn't hit by the 911 and dive into the open window of the 911, I reach for the parking brake but it is already up. I squirm around as I hit the street and hit the brakes. totally relieved my car did not hit any kids adults or cream any cars coming down the street , not to mention my neighbours car in the opposite driveway.
    I look up relieved and to my horror the Taurus is coming back down the drivewayI quickly scramlbe out of the 911 and dart over to the Taurus coming into the same street .. it is locked and the windows are up. In my panic to get out of it i just got it to neutral , not to park.. and when I got out the door must have locked. I scrambled to do something but watched helplessly as it rolled into the street. fortunately it went about 6 ft up my neighbours driveway and stopped ...so here I was with 2 cars in the middle of the street. I put the 911 away and my neighbour helped me push the Taurus back up the driveway and put wood locks in front of it and let it idle for an hour till the wife got home with the spare keys ... she saw I was non to pleased ... Rough day ?

    Honey you have NO idea.. I think I am the luckiest guy in the world .. she smiles , says thanks and goes in the house ....

    I am going to bed before anything else goes wrong...

    I used the oem jack when I first bought the car trying to remove my wheels. Luckily I didn't even have the wheels off before the jack slipped out. The jack flew across the room, hit the garage wall, and my car bounced back to the ground, no harm done luckily.

    In all honesty, I love my wife to death

    My dumbest thing would have to be when I got to work, and thought my car was in Park, when it was really in Reverse. I got out of the car quickly because I was late, and noticed my car rolling back into a pillar. I superman dived into the open door and slammed the brake with my hand. Inches away from crushing my DTM bumper

    The best part of it was that it was in an underground garage, and since I work nightshifts, the security was willing to show me all the footage. It was pretty hilarious
