How was this done mate?
You need to use diagnostics, e.g. VAS or VCDS

I have VCDS, but I'm useless with it. How is it done exactly?
Basic settings on the auto transmission module and then follow the prompts. It's all on the vcds wiki page
Mods coming soon...

Got my GTI grill and black tax disk holder through the post today, just giving the grill a clean and popping the badges off ready to go on my GT...So stoked to see what it'll look like!
Looking for some BBS CH/LM Reps to swap for my Classix plus cash your way:

Awaiting the comments on the tax disc holder.

Something like, "you only need it for the next month. Don't you know tax discs are redundant after October 1st?"

Did a full oil and filter change (im going to do them every 5k now my engine is on 50K+ miles)

Went with Millers NanoDrive Race Oil this time as it so highly rated by a lot of tuners and other members, so we will see how I get on with it,
