« on: 25 September 2015, 13:15 »

Any info on what exactly this means.

If any mods affect (reduce) the performance of the GTi, or R, then do we have a valid reason to cancel an order as most people are buying GTis or Rs based on performance figures.

That's very interesting.  Let's hope that the recall and fix doesn't affect performance figures.  I wonder if this will affect current vehicles ie. will there be a recall?  If they think they're having my car back to reduce output they've got another thing coming  :laugh:

I hope it doesn't add too much of a wait onto you getting your car.

Kind of the opposite of the mk1 TT 'please bring your car back to have a spoiler fitted' recall :grin:

Blimey,

I'm watching and waiting for their announcement but it sounds like some of the truth is out already...

From what I've read, the "cleanliness" is down to how aggressive EGR is set to. Notch up it, power output goes down but so does emissions...

I think i read somewhere that the degree of power loss might well be quite significant - for the USA Derv's anyway.

It looks like you deserved it as if you've bored anyone in work enough for them to actually know what a Stage 5A is then you are just asking for it!!!

I've spent half of my life on here at various times and even I have no idea what a Stage 5a is or what any of the other stages are!!!
