Evening all. What’s the best way to improve acceleration for the B6 (110bhp?)? Remapping = strain on engine, turbo and clutch? Or gear ratios = lower top speed but the law doesn’t say how quick you can get to 70mph? Thanks. Rob…. Make vroom vroom noises in the car.........makes it feel faster

Buy a used genuine one ?
£30-£40

€229 from eBay.de which works out at £170 odd !!!
Mad ordering them from the uk

Both sets bought from larkspeed
But if in no hurry there a little cheaper from eBay.de

This is a pic,I know it's not a wagon but it will give you an idea of the drop

As gaz said eibach sport lines
Brilliant springs ran them on my b6 with standard shocks
Currently running a set on my exeo as well
Nothing beats them imo

Needs mapped out VCDS (vag com) won't do this

Well since changing the battery I think it may have reset that TCS/ESP fault I use to get every now and again for a brief second. Looks like the battery dying has reset it. Good to know some faults that are not thrown up on Vcds may be worthwhile disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds. More than ...

Plenty of room with the 19s too !

3 pages for a battery change?
There's build threads with less

Going down the road very soon

Only joking,best cars on the road

Just scrap it Pete !!

Looks lower than 40mm(just from the pic) ?

It's costs to use that !!!

There will be faults/lights on dash after a battery change
A short drive will clear them though
