You had a golf in 1990 or it's built in 1990, because after 20 year ownership you must sold it back in 2010 then :mrgreen: Anyway, always wanted on of those 16v GTi golfs. Had Scirocco '84 myself as first car. Loved it, had a lot of work done to it, full respray with OEM body kit colour coded etc. ...

I had the Mk2 16v GTI in 1990 when I was 21 that cost 750 insurance, mind you my first car was an 85 XR2 at 19 then a Series 1 RS Turbo at 20, bloody S1 was nicked 3 times and eventually never came back so insurance paid out. Never bought another Ford (Oh a new KA once, shudder). Most of mine have b...

James, he would love someone to do it he's worried he'll willy it up so if you could I would send the map, yours may be different so if you get his ECU number I'll send the file, not all B5.5 have the same ECU number.

Mapping time

Yeah I have a nice 180 map I ran on my sport for 40k with no issues, it went well, I had 3 different maps on it and cycled through them and always felt the 180 one suited my style, it's around 175-180 with 290ish lb ft of torque but for a 6 speed with larger clutch, the car had 240k on it when I sol...

Whenever you need one I'm here.

Also Discord is an app you can get and set up your own private thing and put photos on it and link them, will always be there and no payments, it's primarily for gaming but I set one up just for picture linking for this purpose.

MAP IT!!!

Greta might though, how dare you

I had a Honda Accord 2.2CTDI 2007 with 145k on it, timing chain was rattling it's tits off and that's a 1k job, got rid quick, I would rather do a timing belt than that chain, Honda's are great when they are running right but when things go south it's expensive. Keep that AFN, bulletproof engine tha...

Another way I used is fill the filter to the brim and remove the inlet pipe off the regulator, once filled refit the regulator and seal and clip and I used a syringe to pull fuel up the inlet pipe to the regulator and refit, fires up immediately.

Oh, and suprisingly despite the fact no man should be seen in one, TT drivers might be among the very few audi drivers that usually dont behave like absolute c***ts that should have been murdered at birth. :-bd Lol, I ooze manliness so I can pull it off and you are right never been buzzed by a TT l...

Lol, yeah I think the convertible would be pushing it a bit for me.

Found the delete button,all good.

I'm really surprised how cheap these are getting considering the equivalent Audi S3 is 3-4 times the price, doesn't make sense to me?

Oh poo posted this 5 times, server kept coming back with error, can mods delete the others.

Didn't know Karl bought one, I won't be going down that route just keeping it serviced and standard, I still have the Civic Type S to run around in at the moment as well.

Since I had my B5.5 which I held on to I haven't really found a car that I liked as much, I had the B5.5 3 years and did 50k in it and loved every minute. I have had a Skoda VRS diesel , 2 Honda Civics diesel, a 93 Merc E220, Beetle TDI in the last 2 years, although I held onto the Skoda for nearly ...

Fronts are very close to the upper strut, I had to put 225's on my B6 wheels.

I quite fancy that myself, can you deliver?

Oh and I always disable EGR waste of fecking space those things unless you hug trees.

Oh and Colin, hellooooooooo, MAP it!!!!!!

The maps can be identical across the 130's but the checksum and ECU number have to match, I usually do a lower torque one for the AWX as it's clutch is smaller the AVF 240mm can take more torque, the map I ran was for my own but it was my car, normally AVF would be 165-170 and around 280 to be safe ...

I didn't Gaz but I reckon it wasn't far off, compared to the VRS at 200BHP it felt like it had more torque but PD gives more of a whack than a CR, CR is more petrol like, the guy I sold my Passat to drove the VRS and reckoned it was a bit faster so I'd guess it was 170+ and near the 300lb ft but ya ...

180bhp and 300lb ft ish is what I ran on my AVF, plenty of torque for towing, mine was a GQ ECU as well so if you want a copy of my modded map I can send it to you, ran it for 40k with no issues.

Guilty as charged

I put some EBay cheapies on mine about £120 for the full set, did about 20k on them before I sold the car, they were fine and passed the next MOT with the new owner.

I've got a map for you, gratis, must be done!!!

To answer question number 1 yes it will, I have mine as a hotspot on entering the car using a free app called Macrodroid if your phone is Android, it has 2 triggers, auto BT connection for calls and once the BT is connected it triggers the wireless hotspot, once the BT is disconnected it triggers th...
