Things I discovered about my GTD

[monkeyhanger]

The thing is monkey, my engine temp can be normal (c.90c) but if the oil temp isn't up to temp (taken from the MFD) then it's still sluggish. Does it still do this with the DTUK box?

Yes it does, but a cold DTUK boxed GTD is still far more responsive than a warm standard GTD. The protection seems overly cautious for a TDI, seeing as diesel fuel in itself is lubricative and modern fully synthetic oils perform well even from cold.

Hi My GTD revs high on idle at times 1000 or even 1100 is this normal ??

Yes, if it is doing a DPF regen.

Car will probably also "smell" and be hot at this time.  If you switch the engine off in this period the Radiator fan will also be going full bore for a while.

Yup, my fan went on for 15 mins once after the ignition was turned off.

Ive had the GTD for nearly 1 year and have just found out that the centre armrest height is adjustable!

Im a bit slow and this may be obvious to everone else, but new to me 

By opening the lid/armrest just a bit there are 3 ratchet positions, opening the lid fully and closing again resests the position to fully closes.

At full height and fully extended it is a much more comfortable position for long motorway driving.

Great! I knew it extended, but the height thing was new to me

I've discovered that my GTD only likes to run on part power until fully warmed up, which is slightly annoying as it feels like i'm driving a 2.0TDI 140 not a 184hp torque machine! It can also be deceptive, cos when you go to put your foot down it doesn't respond as expected

Maybe mine is also doing this, but changing modes out of sport and then back into sport improves mine. I went from a MK1 Leon FR 150 to the GTD and most of the time feel it's holding back and then occasionally think its a rocket ship.

I'm also in Derby BTW and was reading some of your posts about DTUK Box prior to choosing the GTD.

That's a bug people are talking about on here - if you *start* the car in sport mode, its not in sport mode proper - select another mode, then back to sport and kappow!

discovered how to make the clock appear on the screen when turned off.
I didn't know it even existed until I saw a picture of it on you tube!

main menu - screen option.  The it's just off the bottom of the screen. Easily mused.
