Advice Please
« on: 12 February 2014, 15:12 »
Hey guys, I have not long owned my TDI 130. Mk4.

But I just wanted to know, what little things some people have done to there's that they have been really happy with? I am happy with the car as it is, but I have always enjoyed doing the odd little thing here an there.

Also wasn't sure about the benefit of getting it Re-Mapped?

Any replies will be much appreciated :-D x

Remap will totally change the drive. So much more fun, increase of 40ish bhp and a fair bit of torque, but you need to make sure you car is running good first.

Best thing I did was lower it and put on front & rear anti roll bars...

Yea, lower strut braces.

Strut brace and anti-roll bar are different items  :wink:

Whiteline rear anti-roll bar will help a lot for not a lot of money. Then a remap will make it go MUCH faster

Then you got the fun of upgrading everything else  :grin:
