Went to VW to order a part today. The guy showed me his nob!  :surprised:










Fortunately it was a gear knob.    Didn't fit a mk5 tho it was from a 2010 polo gti. He thought I'd be interested if my knob was showing signs of wear!

Cheeky git.   :signLOL:

Are they matching now? I thought that they were measured over different periods of time. One was over 48 hours or something and the other a running total?

Replaced my faulty inlet camshaft control valve  -N205- as the electrical connection was snapped. This meant that the signal was intermittent, and on high boost the car would go into a kind of semi-limp mode!

was tricky to get out and ill need another screw as i dropped it in the engine bay somewhere. tricky one to fit that, what with a metal static pipe in the way. thanks VW.

Why did you have to reload the map? Is that typical with Revo?
