Title: Re: The Eagle has Landed.
Post by: k4ith on 30 November 2007, 20:28: Got it yesterday and its feckin brilliant, everything i wanted and more, been calm and running it in as per the guide here, but couldn't resist a brief blast against a Focus ST(bye).
got the ipod connection, armrest, lux pack.my prev car was 56 plate MKII Leon FR TDi 2.0dpf, it was good and we were having second thoughts about getting rid of it but not know, feck petrol consumption! it oozes quality.well worth the cash.
It came with Conti tyres some posts like them others hate them, been ok so far in the wet, but then i havent been pushing it much although the esp light came on while baiting the ST lol.
anyway am off for a night drive.

one question to everyone: do your wives/husbands/whatever think you're mad when you start taking photos of your car to post onto the internet?? my gf looked at me like i was not all there.....then she sat in the car of course.............but still what's the consensus

personally i am all for the pursuit of the perfect photo

Post by: Makaveli on 01 December 2007, 07:54: My wife likes photography so I am lucky that she enjoys taking snaps of the car and can appreciate the fine lines :drool:

She could have at least used ESSO Supreme :rolleyes:

I tend to vary between V-power and Ultimate depending on which one I pass. I haven't noticed any difference between the two TBH, although V-power boasts 99ron and Ultimate and Supreme are 97ron. :undecided:
Title: Re: The Eagle has Landed.
Post by: gazbutmk5gti on 04 December 2007, 22:16: IMO V-power's gives best results, it just feels crisper
Title: Re: The Eagle has Landed.
Post by: k4ith on 05 December 2007, 18:21: Gaz i take it you need to fill up all the time with a high oct fuel for your map?
I am going to get a remap after the year and a few of the tesco's have strated selling a high oct fuel now.my tuner was always getting onto me for using bog standard unleaded in my Mk4 gti that was mapped.
Title: Re: The Eagle has Landed.
Post by: gazbutmk5gti on 06 December 2007, 22:57: yes high octane all the time, when you have the APR remap there is an option for regular fuel or super unleaded, as I always used V-power anyway I went for that one. If you read the handbook VW handbook it recommends super unleaded anyway for the tfsi engine.
Title: Re: The Eagle has Landed.
Post by: maxamus on 07 December 2007, 09:37: So what happens when you use standard bog stanard fuel when your car is remapped?

Bad for the car and its performance?
Title: Re: The Eagle has Landed.
Post by: gazbutmk5gti on 07 December 2007, 22:46: bad for the performance don't think its bad for the car, the ECU just pulls everything back to suit, and takes the edge of the performance I think. I'm very careful to put V-power or super unleaded at least in.
