Worth a Read :oD!
« on: 25 January 2011, 13:35 »
Hey people, not had my TDI long, any of you out there who currently own one.

What advice do you have? What are the best little tweeks you've found make all that difference? What little bits have you added, that you could now not do without... hehe!!

Cheers people,

One of the things I think that all TDi owners should do is deffo give it a good blast now and then to prevent sticky vanes, pottering around too much can do the car more harm than good.
A remap is good as it will probably put a nice big smile on your face, that's until something fooks up :grin:

Think it's to get people's attention more than anything, then once he's got your attention you might aswell post kinda thing. Like a play with words to draw you in basically.

:( no, it's pointing towards sticky vanes as I started to get limp mode, although on Sat on motorway no limp so aint got a sodding clue.

95% just gonna sell up as i've thrown way too much money to try and resolve the MPG issue and it's left a sour taste in my mouth with this car :(
R-tech have a VNT cleaning service for £235 but it's £235 I don't have to spend due to trying out stuff previous to this which didn't resolve my issue :(
Need to find a how to for my door cards so I can get my CDT speakers out before I sell, also the Alpine stereo.

How much would I be looking at for one roughly? Are they easily installed by hand. Or better too be done by a garage? Would of thought a Boost Gauge would of used more from the sounds of it lol??
