yes get it scanned and do some logs. You can trust Jamiebennett81 if you wont some good honest help.

Worth making time for as he's willing to help you out.

Be aware though, DD rollers will not give you pub talk numbers. They are the harshest of dyno's.

jamie if you can give me a pm and let me know when your free maybe ill get over at the weekend or something if its still ok with you ? cheers

my free days are monday nights, but I am out logging another Leon next Monday so this is a no go for me

The only other times I am free is around 08:30 Thursday night. After next Monday I am in football training for a while for a charity event so mondays will be a no go either i'm afraid

Thursday is all I can offer at the moment:)

Thanks

If you clear the brake switch code but it comes back after a little bit of driving then you need to caliberate the brake switch. There are two swithces and they both need to be in the same amount. If one is pushed too much before the other it will flag up the brake switch code.

have a look at the back of the engine...
if the exhaust manifold is the same as this then its a k04

and that tip looks like a ko4 tip not sure best to do is to take a look on the manifold to see if it looks like the picutre i and ibiza_95 put up

well after takin car to power engineering we dne a few test first power un come in at 165 bhp then the vagcom was sayin that the temps are ok so im guessing faulty oil temp gauge on the car so then ian went to on check the air flow metre ! took off the ai filter and there was loads of red tape around the metre holding it on and restricting the whole to a very small size after cuttting the tape of and putting air filter back on the next run made 192.6 bhp at 10 psi and the fuelling has sorted itself out aswell so luckily it seems this time it was a very simple fix just need a new afm now then he said when i want more power the car should be easily capable of 240 ish break at 17 psi so seems like it was a easy fix :)
