CEL popped up going to work today, pulled over to clear it and it hasn't come back yet. Not felt any drivability change either. Car is on 79k, but being in the UK we don't get the fancy 120k warranty..... Maybe it'll soon be time for a new manifold and carbon clean :( $$$$$$$$$$ Is there any...

Was cruising along in 6th accelerating to about 110mph part throttle. Then the car chimed on the screen "Engine Workshop Fault" and the orange EPC light showed. I had my accessport plugged in so did a fault scan on the fly and no codes showed up? I then turned the car off and on again and...

I've had a slight squeal when lightly braking at low speed for some time now (when driving for long periods so hot). Now when I take hard left turns, the left rear of the car makes a whistling sound, is this a pad rubbing against the disc? Also there's about a 1/4" of play with the handbrake...

I'm in the market for a downpipe. I don't want to bankrupt myself with an APR and don't want to cheap out on an ebay. I've found a Scorpion downpipe (They make REVO downpipes) for a good price on Awesomegti. Are they any good...

Hey guys, I'm looking to get this kit: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-ecs-parts/high-flow-turbo-outlet-pipe-kit-with-turbo-muffler-delete/019694ecs01-03kt/ Does anyone have experience with fitting said kit? I tried to take off my turbo muffler to fix a boost leak the other month and it was a...

Hi guys, I recently dinged my door badly so have bought another which is in the spray shop at the moment. The damaged door doesn't shut properly anymore, the top of the door is about 5mm out when the door shuts which is thankfully enough to keep water out. When I fit the new door, is there...

Not many good videos out there of a resonator delete under load, so I broke out the GoPro with Sony ECMCS3 mic and gave it a blast!! K6bhOoz69Xc Mods are: •Stage 1 tune •Ramair intake •GFB DV+ •Resonator delete •R8 Coilpacks with NGK PFR7S8EG gapped at 0.028”

The pistons weren't as coked up as I would have expected, maybe my Italian tuneup driving style is helping burn it off haha. I found the 90° mirror now so will upload more footage of the valves open in the cylinder tomorrow if I remember. Engine is on 61k miles Mods are: Ramair intake...

It's very random in occurance, but when I brake from high speed, the car will either stop with very little pedal effort, or I need to press as hard as I can to get it to even slightly slow down like my old unassisted track car. Possible vacuum pump leak?? Pads discs and bleed was done when I...

What sort of seal do I need to get for the turbo outlet flange? I am getting quite a big leak from it, it explains why it's been oily for a while. Here's a video of it bubbling at around 5psi, it was way worse at 15! kZUPSMU4EN0

Used the Torque app to log some data. I know it's not as good as VCDS but I've smoothed the lines as much as I dare to get a nice graph. Does anyone think there's something amiss? There is a bit of a dip in boost on the 2nd gear pull, but other than that I can't see much. Boost vs. RPM (2nd...

The install was easy, the hardest part about the install was taking off the damn DV wire clip! There are plenty of youtube videos explaining the process of converting your old actuator into a DV+. As for the performance, I drive a 6MT so definitely feel a faster boost build when going WOT after...

Hi guys, just had a stage 1. It's amazing...... when it works. The map seems to have amplified / developed a strange pulsating sensation when accelerating at full throttle. There are no fault codes and brand new NGK Platinum spark plugs were fitted yesterday. Only other mod is a ramair intake...

Thought you guys would like to hear the intake sounds the GTi makes with an intake! 7rGRioHYRh4 Recorded in high quality using a GoPro 4 Silver 1080P 60fps Superview with a Sony ECMCS3 mic behind the foam filter (pic for reference, mic isnt in the pic)
