Quick hack share.
I drive my 6 only a few times a month and have noticed before that if I start it up after it's been sitting I get the top end rattle.
Pulling the #29 fuse, as outlined on this forum, and cranking it a couple of times for 7 or 8 seconds a time to get oil pressure up means a quiet start once the fuse is replaced.
It's a bit of a faff, so I decided to hook up a switched circuit for fuse 29.
Not the best looking end where the circuit plugs into the fuse location, but I works and is secure.
I hacked up a fuse to the solder the wires to it as using spade connectors was too loosey goosey.
Circuit has an inline fuse holder, then the switch is mounted in a hidden location.
Works a treat and means I can just get in the car and close the door, flick the switch go through the cranking process then hit the switch again for the proper start.
Anyway for reference if anyone wanted to try the same thing.

That’s not a bad idea. Might do the same but without the spunk all over it.

Nice one, thats on my todo list shortly.
If you can't go to the track, bring the track to you.

Not sure which Fuse Socket our 6 has?

Re: Fuse 29 interrupt switch
ATC/ATO by the looks. I searched high and low here locally for a solution like that. May need 90deg spade connectors depending on the installed height. Amazon here I come, thanks Mav.
Re: Fuse 29 interrupt switch
Can you report back which one you went for and if you’re happy with it as I think my RS is about to move into the weekend winter car rather than daily driver.
I’d be happy to put together an order to build several kits if there’s a demand? (However I dare say there’s others on the forum with better soldering skills than mine
)Re: Fuse 29 interrupt switch
Couldn’t you just floor it so it goes into anti flood mode to prevent starting?

Doesn’t work on the RS6. Now *that’s* a good way to shear a cam lobe.

Re: Fuse 29 interrupt switch
I was hoping one of you would try it for me.

Re: Fuse 29 interrupt switch
Haven't pulled the trigger yet. I've got a few other projects on the go. But it'll be the ATO/ATC version.ChrisA wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 7:09 amCan you report back which one you went for and if you’re happy with it as I think my RS is about to move into the weekend winter car rather than daily driver.
