New addition A3 Sportback!
« on: September 08, 2011, 02:57:59 am »
After months of looking for a VAG with 5 doors and DSG I have finally found this.  It's not an Edition 30 which I wanted to buy again and its the fuel of the devil but it's got it's good points too.

Can't wait to pick her up next week and get some mods done.  Any suggestions always welcome.






Can't wait!!!!!!

It's the TDI 170.  Think I'll go for the DPF removal and remap first.  Then I'll need to get a hold of a flat bottom steering wheel to spruce up the interior.

Did you drive another 170 with the DPF removed and remapped?

Yeah I'm undecided on them but I'll wait till I see them.  If I don't like them I'll just get a re trim.

Yeah how come?  to much Torque?  I've seen that revo will do a remap and a upgrade of the DSG software.
