Hello ladies and Gents, I'm Victor and my wife owns a 2011 GTI 2dr Dsg. I until a few days ago owned a 2013 Focus ST. Last Thursday it was totalled and now I'm in the market for a new car. My gameplan will be to keep the GTI for myself and just purchase a new car for my wife. With that being said I've always liked the GTI's and almost walked away with a MK7 before getting the ST. I've been lurking around the forums reading up on stuff that I need help with. But since this is my new car i decided to join the community. After reading thru a lot of the great write ups I have a long laundry list of stuff I want do to the car. Mainly just maintenance stuff. At the top of the list are the water pump replacement, carbon cleaning of valves, and upgrading the coils. I purchase the car with about 70k and had zero issues until a road trip about 2 months ago when the water pump started leaking. Besides that the car is solid and pulls pretty well. This leads me to a question, is there any way of telling if my ecu is chipped or if it has a tune? I only ask because for kicks I ran an auto 350z and he was a car length ahead the whole time and never pulled. Either it's a ragged 350z or this GTI is tuned or maybe I just under estimated the car. Sorry for the run on paragraph but I'm at work and typing as I go. Looking forward to learning more about this platform and maybe even contributing a little.
