It had a full service and I fitted new headlight bulbs and number plate bulbs to freshen things up.

Well kit just today but the last 3 days
Went to back to Sedox performance with a concern on diesel knock and general harsh sounding since remap.
After being there just about all day and several maps being loaded my car appears to now have what sound like a boost leak!!!!
I've now pressure tested the whole system from turbo to throttle body up to 28 psi and 100% no leaks.
I also replaced the intercooler I-rings as precaution.
The car suffers from lack if power and sounds as though it has a boost leak..
I think its strange how I never had the leak (noise beforehand)
I'm now stuck that either I pay vw £72 to reflashed to standard and lose my original remap cost or try and find the cause.
I logged the car lastnight and requested and actual boost don't match.
Anyone any ideas?

No its not matey, tis on the "to do" list. Am getting it done (just springs) when the handling mods go on.

Thanks for all the kind comments peeps, even my wife said "oh, cleaned the car then, AGAIN?"   :sad1: :booty:

Led rears or normal lights? Look great either way!

Thanks.

Yes they're oem led rears

I'm going to look into how to do this for others too as I know loads of people want them.

I've got a spare set of led lights that I got from a swap to mess about with.

Going to order some stuff this weekend and hopefully get something sorted by next weekend. (Haha if all goes to plan)
