Hmmm, not me selling it! Was it this car (red) you saw or my previous car (green)?

Any link?

From the graph/numbers above I peaked at 428 Nm of Torque so I guess the car is remapped after all (I bought it not knowing it was mapped).

I'll post this in the VCDS region of the forum when I have time tonight. Thanks for any help/insight.



Easy to see if a car is remapped. Go to Engine 01 > Advanced Measurements > Et Voila (above)

doesn't mean it has had a remap

If you have a software updat at vw that would show too

also new modules will show one log too

Yeah, that's true I guess. Going with the car has had one flash, and is running 428 Nm of torque I am just guessing it is remapped. It is a lot quicker than my previous Golf which was running 182 bhp and 408Nm torque.

I think the only way to tell for sure would be on the dyno. Just out of interest I check my flash status and have 2 for each.

Just passed my first 1000 miles in the car. So in 27 hours 30 mins I've managed 47.0mpg. Not bad for a 2 litre with circa 200 bhp.  :P

Looking to do a rolling road then get the car properly remapped with a DPF delete pipe.

very nice love the colour :happy2:cant wait to see what mods you have planned

Got a short list of mods on the first/second page. I'm sure that will all change in 6 months time but that's the plan I'm running with at the min.  :wink:

Absolutely nothing changed/modified on the Golf. Yet. I've had a busy September but will hopefully get my cruise control, CAN Gateway and RCD510 fitted in October. Awaiting delivery of my winter 16" wheels and my 2014 18" alloys, with added lightness.  :wink: Looking to get the car ready for winter (clay, polish, wax) can anybody recommend anywhere in Edinburgh/Lothians?

Also for the first time in my car history I'm going to get the car purposely made slower!  :stupid: Going in to a local Audi RS specialist for them to demap the car! (It's got a generic/cheapy/back of a van type job). Going to run it standard for a month or so to see if I can get rid of a couple of boost problems.  :sad1:

After that it will be decat/de-DPF downpipe and a proper remap for the car.  :driver: Will be interesting to see what difference it'll amke to the mpg and smokiness!  :wink:

Also hoping to get my sideskirts and valances painted and fitted.

I know!!  :laugh: And the lack of time I've had to Plastidip my front grille is also equally frustrating!! All in good time. I'll need to find an afternoon/Saturday to do my grille, it'll probably need a few coats.

I've just started my 2nd last year of a day release uni course so time is really tight now.  :fighting2:

So I bagged a bargain set of 16" alloys for the winter a week or so ago. Still waiting on them to arrive.

I also arranged to buy another members wheels, as new but without tyres.

Tonight I have acquired 4 Pirelli's. :driver:











Wrapped in Pirelli P Zero's. :)

All sets of wheels still to be delivered. This seems to be an unintentional hobby of mine, wheel hoarding. ;-)

Photos all in due time. I am in deep quandary about wha wheels to go with. Poll with pics to come. :evil:

So this happened:



Then this:



No proper pics as it's dark. :-( I'll update in the morning once the tractor height (jacked up) settles. :happy2:

Sorry mate. Took this one on my phone then couldn't work out why it wasn't in my iPad photo albums.

Ignore the tractor height. It needs a whack with the lowering stick!



Opinions people? The wide spoke leave the brakes and discs very exposed. Need to paint them up ASAP.

How many wheels. I currently have the choice of:

17" Classix (OEM on the 170 GT TDi)
16" Imola alloys with winter tyres
18" Pirelli Alloys
18" Team Dynamic Pro 1.2's in silver!

Very tempted to fit the TD's but may wait for after winter. To keep - Pirelli's or TD's?
