Any other mods?

More importantly, has it removed your dsg farts? =(

DSG remap will lessen the "fart" noise usual, as a result of faster gear changes.

Well that's me not getting my DSG mapped ;-)

When you get it mapped you can choose not to have faster shifts if you don't want to. Just have higher rev limit, 4000rpm launch and no auto shift in manual 

Put it's winter boots on.. looks like a rep 

16'' are close to the calipers!

had new steering rack fitted and diagnosed aircon failure.........no horrible clonking noises now :-) and aircon just the valve failure...phew

I want the higher rev limit, but 4000rpm launch is probably too much (GTI) and I kind of like the auto shift in manual

Received this this morning. Waiting for new wheel control module, slip ring & airbag wiring loom. Can't wait to have it fitted! 

Just about found time to get my newly arrived sticker on 



Next weekend, its new exhaust time...canny wait 

got my oem xenons wire up so the shutter work 

Today i came to the conclusion getting the Passat CC was a bit of a mistake, specifically getting the 140bhp engine :(

A remap sorts out the CR140 very well

Since buying my wife's Octavia RS 3 years ago, I've always felt that the standard headlight output was really poor (admittedly my GTI does have factory xenon's but even so...).  Having suffered a terrible journey home last week late at night in very thick fog I finally decided to do something about it and today finally got round to fitting Osram Nightbreakers .

All I can say is why, oh why did I wait?...

I did consider getting it mapped but with a new job round the corner and a £6k car allowance i'm thinking of upgrading to a Passat CC 170 facelift or Scirocco. Love the Passat but should its a little too big for me and under powered. I think i was too focused on the toys when i bought it 

Fitted an itg cai

Found out it came with a complimentary Darth Vader in my glove box 

DSG farts are reduced but I think it is worth it for the speedy gear change.

Also the pull in all the gears is amazing, overtaking in 6th gear comes with ease.

Another thing I really like is driving off boost seems a lot smoother/easier, although this could be coupled with the faster gear changes.

Love DSG farts haha!!

Even this little polo 1.2TSI sounds great with a different exhaust:
