Cheers JV.

Right picked up my 2001 Golf GTI 1.8T AUM engine code a couple of months ago. Will get some pics up soon. Have so far added the following.

Pipercross Panel filter and smoothed the airbox.
Forge TIP pipe.
Forge 007P.

The Forge TIP has made a massive difference definatly recommended.

Coming after my holiday
R-TEC remap
Miltek cat back exhaust
KW suspension
Neuspeed induction kit
Possibly OZ ultraleggera 18 inch wheels
R-TEC liquid display screen
R32 Rear spoiler

Sounds later.

Watch this space.

Went to AMD yesterday and had the slave cylinder was replaced due to the clutch peddle occasionally sticking down. Then Steve whos a very helpful mechanic and doesnt mind explaining things to you and giving sound advice stuck it on the diagnostics to find out why it was losing power. Came up with 1 fault which said boost leak between dv and filter turned out to be Airflow meter. They quickly go on the phone and within 5 mins a new one had been dropped off. All sorted now.  :cool:

Quick update keeping the car now. Was speaking to the missus yesterday and if and when we do go Australia she was saying it only costs £1000 to ship cars over there so might even do that when the time comes.

Going Egypt on the 25th but when I get back need to sort the R32 dog bone mount and change both front wheel bearings. Wanna get the remap aswell and then I need to sort a stereo out so I can have my ipod in the car. And decided to take the stickers off as a few people said I should and I actually think it looks much better not sure what I was thinking.   :smiley:
