Most rolling roads will not be insured for your engine failures, thats your problem, if it not strong enough, dont run it!  And will make you sign a for basically saying this, managed to do the bottom end on my scirocco last year on one! All fixed and been back on, was fine this time!  :smiley:

Wat sort of power people getting out of there standard Gti's, 8v or 16v?

Hi guys,

Excuse my ignorance, i have just purchased a 16V GTI and she is running a bit rough on idle and she doesn't seem as fast as she ought too.

Is a rolling road the only way to properly get her  tuned up? Are there any other options?

And how much, on average, do these tune ups cost?

Maybe we can get a group of us going and get a discount?

There are a few guides on how to set the car up properly, so it runs sweet.  A rolling road is necessary to get the very best out of it though as they can test the engine under load at various speeds :)
