the standard procedure would be to remove the battery terminals and leave it for about 20 mins........it is worth it as you may have old codes stored in the ecu that may want clearing??

Tom theres no radio code since you cant nick the mk3 radio ;)

the only real purpose for doing so is to knock off the cel light and perform TB alignment

And also reset REVO (if you have it), mine definatly boosts harder for a week or two after a reset. IIRC you get the same affect if you disable then re enable REVO via SPS.

Yeh i think he was talking about getting a leon cupra R, he was also talking about an evo8 when i said i was going k03s, Mine could be better at the moment just got a minor boost issue but should be sorted by the end of the week after some logging etc...
