Had an awesome time at edition38, although what was with the music stopping at 11.20?  :undecided: I think I did ok, some legal pressed plates and some stickers is all I bought. I am probably going to go for the Revo remap as I had the free 5 hour driving time trial put on a few days ago (its only 80% power of the real remap) ... it was a fun 5 hours :evil: :grin:

Last had an oil change 3 weeks ago when it had a full service including engine flush, new oil filter and £35 oil. Just dropped it off at my dads mates garage on the way there it felt as tho the turbo wasn't boosting at all... Got my old mans 1.9TDI A6 Avant to drive about in til I get the bora back ... With a pretty big bill I'm guessing!!

Brakelight switch could be broken - happened to me earlier this year and hopefully it'll be the same for you :smiley: :cool:

That said, my engine message was slightly different...
