My 7.5 GTI has gone into Riemans today for the uprated organic Sachs clutch and Racingline stage 1 OEM+ software.
I've only done 17,000 miles from new but the clutch already shows signs of slippage and the flywheel was knackered, so also being replaced. Just shows how weak the manual clutch's are in our cars.
Anyway … can't wait to pick her up later. Will report back with my findings once I've had a good drive!
I Finally got around to having the Racingline Stage 1 OEM+ map installed last Thursday.
Super smooth and stock like but with some serious extra pace. Overall, I couldn’t be happier.
As promised Matt from Racingline added extra pops and bangs which is switchable using the sports mode button.
When activated I get lovely bangs just like a DSG fart at full throttle gear changes and on the overrun I get lovely crackles. I must admit it’s very additive, for how long I don’t know but then it is switchable.
Good feedback
I like the idea of switchable sound effects. Rather than permanent rally car noise you can employ the “there’s a time and a place” attitude.
