rich83 - Edition 30..... Breaking

[Saintsteve]

Another 2 years maybe??  

Hell yeah! 4 years into mine now  

Ditto here... Won't give mine up for all the tea in china ..

Best 4 years motoring I've ever enjoyed

[MAT ED30]

Had mine 5 years now and still think about selling up but i just struggle to find a car that does what mine does without having to spend another 10 to 20k or cost mad money on fuel

[Nodz]

I've had mine 2years and a month this week and I remember when buying it I said I was keeping it for 3years or until it hit 70k and I'll get rid and get something else. It's now on 70k and I have no intentions of getting rid of it, well not through choice but that's a different story for the new year. I have never driven or owned another car that ticks so many boxes

[gazbutS3]

I know mine isn't a GTI, but feel exactly the same about the S3, bought it new over 4 years ago, have gradually modded it into a geat fast road car and quite capable track car that still ticks all the boxes. Regularly think about changing it as its a second car now, but without spending £KKKK's I don't see anything that suits my needs 

so keep your car pal and enjoy it

Great to hear that you all feel the same way I do about your cars.

Sorry but what were your fuel trim values??

Just fixed the broken link 

[E30Dom]

If 10% is the limit then you're well in!

[rich83]

Yep...   

So if the fueling it spot on... then that does puzzle me why the tail pipes get black so quickly.

I thought Revo maps were quite heavy on the fuelling at the top end (why you see loads of black smoke on Dyno days)?

Could be a bit of oil getting burned?

Is that not fueling at idle...

The 2.0TFSi does like to run rich, and it is safer to do so... But I knocked my fueling from F7 to F8 and the soot deposits, greatly reduced...(but if you're on F9 for your  and also i find on the odd occasion i'm forced to use tesco momentum, I get more deposits round the tail pipes... I try to 100% run V-Power....
