higher

Just wondering what engine oil people are using for their modifed engines? I know VAG recommend 5W30 for 504.507 but I am looking at Millers CFS 5W40 or Silkolene Pro S 5W40 right now which have been mentioned for high performance/higher heat applications.

I have just done a search and all i can find is tt short shifters lol. What i'm after knowing is, is there a shifter that is mounted on the inside of the car rather than the under side which would mean the gear sfick is higher and i can possition it a little bit further back. I'm quiet call...

I've been looking for an LCR for about a month now and its increasingly more difficult finding a low mileage example. I did test drive one a couple of weeks ago that did only 21K but I rejected it due to 3 owners (which was a bit suspicous being a 55 plate that done such low mileage) and the...

Hey, I've noticed today that in fifth and sixth the boost gauge shows 0.8bar?? The other gears are normal (0.5-0.6 bar). Car is stock map 180hp Leon. Also noticed mpg has dropped quite a bit. What could this be? Thanks Dan

Right i tried a search for this but couldnt seem to find the exact thing :D Basically, in the last week or so my turbo seems to be generally louder. In higher revs i.e. from 3000-4000 RPM there is a noticeable high pitched whistle. This noise didnt seem to occur before, also the pressure...

Hi! I have an appointment at Seat to solve my boost problem! But, I'm curious about what could cause that behavior! What could cause this odd behavior? When boosting, the actual is 0,7bar but only requesting 0,5 bar over the whole range! I measured the N249 and N75 valve, I they should...

Has anyone heard of this company or better still had a remap completed by them. I would be very interested to hear.

Just thought I'd leave a quick message about the problems I've had with my V5 and what I did to fix it, just in case anybody else has the same frustrating problem as I did For about 3 or 4 months the performance on my car had been deteriorating on an intermittent basis, especially on up...

My Cordoba 1.6 Signo has suddenly started to have higher idle rev's when cold. It used to run at aprox 8-900 rpm's idleing when cold, but not it up's to about 1200 for a few minutes. Then it suddenly drops to the usual 8-900. It takes some three minutes or so. Its almost like i sit and press...

Hey peeps Contradicting opinions here, and I want to check something. Over the last 2 weeks or so, my car is boosting more than usual, so much so I hit limp mode once, which I've never done before. My boost gauge is reading 23psi peaks, and I'm not happy about it so I'm going to back...
