Another New Ed30 Owner..
« on: 30 January 2008, 11:49 »
Now then chaps,
New here in case you hadn't noticed..  :smiley:
Anyway, after messing around with the spec on my car, I have finally got round to ordering it... Whoop whoop! lol
Specs as follows..
Candy White 3dr, DSG, MFSW, BI-Xenons, Sat Nav, Centre armrest with storage box..
Having had a numbers of Hot hatches, including CTR (Hence the user name lol), LCR 225 (current), I am looking forward to getting to know the VW very well.. lol. Especially as she'll be treated to a nice set of black 18" Team Dynamic Pro race 1.2's and a Re-map once it's run in..
So it looks like you may be seeing a little more of me.. ha
If there are any other Candy white ED30 owners, that feel like sharing there pics, I certainly won't object...
One quick question though chaps.. Does the DSG box cope ok with Re-maps? As I know there was a concern at first..
Cheers, Ben

5dr, Manual, Silver with the Funky DVD/30gb SatNav/Armrest and the "smoking pack" (I think is just an ashtray with lid and cigarette lighter lol)
Gonna add the Cruise Control later as well, that seems to be a retro fit suitable item.

I wanted a normal GTI originally, but the wait was quite long (end april) so I was offered a cancelled Ed30 order which I went for :)

Don't blame ya to be honest mate..
On the cruise control thing. I never ordered it and wish I had now. But is it cheap and easy enough to fit after?

Yeah, apparently it's a simple indicator stalk replacement and a reprogram of the ecu system.
£150 at a dealer according to the price list.

Places like AwesomeGTI also supply and fit.

I believe it can even be done for the price of parts at home if you have access to a VAGCOM unit to reprogram etc.
For the sake of £150, I think I'll just get the dealer to do it.

Sounds like just the trick then..
One question though. Sounds stupid, but with them accessing the ECU, would it have any affect if the ECU was Re-mapped? Cause any problems etc...
