You realize for about 1.5k USD I could be at almost 500hp right? I'll put on my indicator, sure. The regularly timed blinking will help you determine how long it takes me to leave yuh.

Yesssssssss fighting words.. but seriously. good luck with the project, and doh worry, I go move.

FWD is fun at times. How many hot-hatches you know with RWD (other than 135).
I was going to also mention that with 400hp it might be easier for me to take you off the line because you'll seriously lose response. But I guess you thought that part through.

well i learnt quite a bit from watching and he basically advised me along the way. thing is i can do just about everything he had done at that first session... only thing i lack is time. so i trying to maintain as best i can with good products and technique.... and also considering is a good bit of $$ to fork over every time...

I see what you're saying. Proper wash technique and occasional use of 'top up' type products if you feel like it are what matters for maintenance. You will probably need professional help at some time though. It's not practical, nor cheaper to buy everything for every situation yourself.

Not me! You could tune for 197hp btw. Will at least be a little improvement.

That's just cuz d jetta missing plenty lil things neexis!

@nemesis I fraid to mod to that hp figure as the dsg has a torque rating of 250 Nm. The remaps usually move the torque produced to around 300 Nm. I don't know enough about VW in terms of if their numbers used are exaggerated.

Yeah boi, he is like the ALMIGHTY when it comes to the VWs.
I am between Padawan and Jedi mode with the Renault brand at the moment.

There are things that the firm (from Baramotors to Trinidad Auto) said that wasn't possible with the Renault Clio (the non sports).
Fir instance, some Clios didn't come with variable speed wiper stalks, mines was one. Did my researched and realized it was indeed possible. Ordered the stalk from my Renault dealer in the UK, followed the instructions from Dialogys and "whalah", my Clio now has variable speed....

Dealers are not pioneers so to speak. They play it very safe so as not to get charged by the manufacturer for wrong repairs. So I can understand why you got thru with the mod vs the dealer.

But Bunny, the Etka and the Dialogys outlines what SHOULD BE done, how IT IS to be done and what TO BE replace to avoid a nonoccurrence of the said event via the Technical Notes and Repair Manuals in the programs. There isn't one version for dealer and another for customer. :lol:

It's not always that straight forward or clear I've found. For example I'm trying to research oem led bi-xenon headlight installation. ETKA lists the parts for the headlights but doesn't notify you about the auto leveling sensor needed on the suspension. It also doesn't tell me I need a new control module automatically for the new lights to work properly. Finally it doesn't tell you how to code the new control module.

May not sound like alot of work for one vehicle but if you think about the number of requests from different owners of different vehicles and I'm sure it can get messy.

Do you touch base with any VW techies from the UK?

There was one guy who seemed to have either worked inside VW or worked with someone deep in VW as he had a ton of info and could explain the logic behind the decisions of the manufacturer...unfortunately he passed away so for now it's back to trawling forums and going thru elsa and etka.
