Jacker's Tornado GTI - Previously owned my AMD Technik

[Jacker]

Knocked over £1500 of his asking price due to the faults and fixes needed.

Still got some money in the kitty to remove the EML and EPC light due to sports cat. Gonna go Stage 2 to remove them :D

Thought I'd give a bit of an update on this!

MOT is coming up the beginning of next week and I've yet to get rid of the EML and EPC light due to the P0601 Internal Memory Check Sum Error fault code I've been getting since I bought the car.

I need to get this light gone so hopefully getting a remap before the weekend and may also have to get the software update from VW before hand.

Just waiting on the APR specialist to get back to me regarding the fault code and what prep I need to do before hand.

So as of now, the car is a definate MOT failure :(

Any info that may help me. I'll be greatly appreciative!

Wow! Where does the time go?

Lets pick up where I left off, the car failed MOT on brakes. That was just a sticky caliper so quickly rectified and it flew through!

I havent done alot else to the car due to being majorly busy at work. I even tested the water selling the car before christmas because I wasn't driving it as I have a mk4 daily derv!

I accidentally stumbled upon a car that caught my eye on an ebay advert, the advert was of a previous edition of VW Performance magazine. Only to realise that it was my car on the front! It's the April 2005 mag and i couldnt believe it at first. So I bought it as quickly as possible!

It's got a decent 3-4 page spread detailing how the car was the first mk5 to be modified as AMD bought it the day it turned up at the showroom. The car was their demo car for many years, as i knew but the amount of input this car had into their remapping of all cars is surreal, they trialled and tested the software hundreds of times until they made sure it was perfect.

Reading the history of the car made me realise I owned something special, a little peice of mk5 history as such.

Hopefully I will keep this thread abit more up to date from now on, as I'm always scouting the forum. I just never comment 

Thanks,

Jack

Good stuff Jack - glad to hear you you've found some extra love for the car. Always nice to have something with a bit of history to it!
Hope to hear more on the mk5 soon

Thanks mate, yeah it was an awesome find! The previous owner did mention about it, but I forgot all about it. The best things are found by accident!

Now I need to make some decisions on which mods I want this year
