You need to have made 10 posts before the PM option appears.

That explains why then, thanks

Not sure if it was on this thread but had read that people were experiencing problems when starting their car from cold, I.e car would turn over several times before firing up.

I don't have a tuning box fitted and mine has had this problem from day one, so it's not the box causing the problem

Does anyone here have the dtuk box fitted to their GTD with the DSG gear box? If so, any problems with the increase in torque produced from the tuning box?

Have read that the DSG box can only handle upto 450 and not the 500 the tuning box can produce

Thanks

Andrew, what's the difference between the old map and most aggressive (4+1)on the older unit than this new 3+1 on the new unit? As is it worth me sending you my unit to update? Ta

Have received my crd-t+ box from dtuk, now to go and fit it :)

All fitted, I have set the box to program 3 +1. Is it normal for the lights to flash or should they be permanently on? P3 is flashing green and +1 is flashing red.

Not taken the car out yet for a test run
