the car locks at a certain speed (something like 8mph) and unlocks when you take the key out of the ignition and the beep is to confirm you've locked your car, was done on vcds

Little update, replaced cv gator, new number plate bulbs, new cabin filter, order a few more little bits from vw which should be here tomorrow, main thing i have done is replace the standard dv valve with a rev D piston type dv valve,





As you can see my old one was completly shot, it had the tear you can see and also had 2 smaller holes around the other side, the car is now a completely different car it actually pulls  :signLOL: since moving from a diesel to this one i wasnt sure what it should feel like but now after replacing the dv its much more what i expected and the mpg has increased too so very happy  :happy2:

Craig you are doing a fantastic job mate, well done for keeping going and not giving in  :notworthy:

It does feel nice to have a GTI with all the niggle done without them on your mind  :happy2:
