Re: Touran Polo Golf upgrade rear wiper size

Well its the 26cm arm 41 cm blade version. Its right on the limit for size as it exceeds the top of the screen. I wasn't sure at first, but its providing the biggest wipe possible, wipes the rear top brake area, and good for maximum visibility out the back, however I would not say it would be suitab...

Re: Can I get brighter lights?

Osram Nightbreakers produce 6k colour. Philips Extravision 4k and emits slightly more lumens. The king of halogen bulbs is Osram Rallye, it will match most eBay hid pnp kits for light perfomance and blow out of water any aftermarket halogen bulb. Do you mean Phillips Extreme Vision ( X-treme Vision...

Re: Advice on lowering

I used to catch on -40mm koni sport springs on standard sport 16" but when I fitted the 17" wheels with correct tyres it didnt catch sent using my own fingers I've always noticed a rise in height, going from 205/55/16 to 225/45/17, depending on tread depth I would guess this can be an inc...

Re: Egr delete

Mine won't throw a cel light, but Im thinking,

WINTER, use working egr with holed blank, to aid warm up, but restrict egr gass flow for better turbo spool.

SUMMER, block egr vacume pipe, and swap out holed for a solid blank, for maximum spool.

Re: tdi boost pressure

In a perfect World boost should hold steady. On another petrol turbo car standard boost was 10 psi, when raised to 15 psi it then settled to 11 psi, this was all down to a restrictive stock exhaust system.

Re: Wiper blades

Makes sense , ECP can list on the n/s 19, 20 and 21" . And a 21" twin set.

Mine are both 21" but when parked the n/s blade outer isnt making contact for an inch.
