Itvwas a company called big fish tuning in stokesly. I'm sure you could find someone closer to you though. Lots of people do remaps these days and for all sorts of prices.as for a new turbo" not sure on that one but am sure somone else on here could help you out. Be interested tl find out thoug...

Think I would get it remapped first and see if you're happy with that. I had my pd100 mapped and did an egr delete and am more than happy. Makes it the car it should have been in the first place. The jump from 100 bhp to approx 135 bhp is very noticeable and useful, especially when overtaking. I had...

I think manufacturers are constantly drip feeding us new technology all the time. They need us to keep wanting the latest products, whether its a fridge a phone or a new car.Last years product is out of date now, but so is this years as well. If it doesn't bother you and it still works then keep it....

I got mine off an a6 tdi model, it wasn't an allroad though.bit of modification and they do fit ok.lf you running stock
Suspension ypo probably wont notice much difference.the strut bar that made the biggest fifference to my car
Was the lower one. That really tightened it up.

Thats what happend to mine, reverse light switch failed twice but it stopped the sensors from working. Easy enough to replace anyway.

Aahh! Thats the jenson button, makes your car go faster.

I reckon most of the cheap coilovers are made by the same chinese company and probably branded for different customers. As for more expensive ones , the quality lasts long after the expense has been forgotten. So if you buy cheap coilovers you will get a cheap ride!!!

is a highline variant, which I suppose is probably the highest spring set up on a b5.5.
I do like y I don't have to slow down for speed humps. I also hear alot of stories about people smashing their sumps and having a harsh ride. All of which i want to avoid so think 30mm would be plenty.

Yeah seen those, wasn't sure of the quality.Like I say I am
gonna tow a caravan so dont wanna be too low really, just wanna close the wheelarch gap a bit.
?

Can you buy decent lowering springs under £100? What you using.
want to lower my highline , but not too much as I am gonna tow a caravan.
Want a good set of springs but not too low. what would be a good Drop do you think.?

I would say any good quality dampers like bilstein or sachs. As for arbs go for the sport front rollbar, I have fitted one and can confirm they really tighten up the front end! As a bonus you can pick one up pretty cheap from a breaker's yard and are really easy to fit.Deffinatley worth doing. Hope ...

Yeah I understand that cooler air equals more power, it does seem to drop off fairly quickly as engine warms up.
has anyone tried one of those intercooler fans that all the jap tuners seem to run?.
I am just running the standard smic bbut am always looking to improve things if I can.

Does anyone know what is the best way to monitor the intake temp on on my mapped pd 100.
I have noticed that when the air temp is cooler it does seem to have more poke.
I would be interested to know how air temp affects the power output?.
Does anyone have any tips?

Try replacing the seal on the intercooler pipe for an upgraded green one from the main dealer's.
Had same problem with my tdi 100 , new seal sorted it, easy job to do as well.

Think you could pick up a 12v supply from the auxillery sockets in the back.
thats what I'm planning on doing when I do mine.

You can't beat the comfy ride of a stock height suspension, especially with the state of the roads now.
stock height for me anyday.

Ok thanks will try tps, probably expensive though!

Hi, would like to fit the us side markers to my highline wagon, just wondering
where I could get a kit from? Seen a few cars on here wirth them on and like
the look of them. Any help greatly apprciated.

You should have some new bolts in the kit, just use the old ones to plug the vac lines
as they are the correct size.

Same problem with mine which is a 55 plate model.vw have offered me %50 of the repair costs. However this still comes to £461 so not sure whether to go ahead or not.Tried talking to vw customer services but no luck there .Still that is cheap i suppose if you consider that is supply fit and repaint ...

whichever one you do buy make sure it has the ridge around the inside of the boot "large end". if it dosent you will have a proper chew on getting it to seal. I have had this problem with my own it kept pulling off . Eventually i had to put a large jubilee clip on to get it to seal.So chec...

Engine remap. You won't regret it.

Had my tdi mapped last week and he turned off the egr no problems. Big fish tuning in stokesly.

Thanks for the reply karl, as I already have egr kit was looking for the cheapest solution.
Not sure what to do now, either another manifold or another egr kit (the correct one)
Dunno now.

the inlet manifolds the same on all the tdi engines? Just tried to fit an egr bypass kit but The pipe that came with the kit was too big for my manifold . Also the pipe that links the egr with the plastic boost pipe is too small. Do I need a manifold from A 130 and plasic boost pipe?. Any help appre...
