Before I start modding my car, i'm thinking it would be wise to have it plugged into first, this vag-com machine, or equivalent, to see if there are any probs i need to address beforehand. Does anybody know how much this would cost me, and is vag-com what garages would use, or is this a DIY version of something more professional?
 
If you haven't got a light on then chances are there isn't anything wrong. Apart from doing a few runs and logging boost, maf, etc etc there isn't much to check. PLus a garage wouldn't do logs of boost, maf etc
 
No, theres no light on, so good info for me there. I wasn't sure if it highlights underlying problems.
 
Nice one fellas. Great thread there for me to browse through there gazR, thanks. And cheers for the responses bishbash and matt. Yeh, i agree, Portsmouth, not quite round the corner! Matt, if I could PM at some point over the coming month, that would be great. I'm picking a couple of mods up tmoz and so on, but fitting might have to wait for a spell. Great to know your available. You'll have to tell me whats your tipple is, so i can sort you out.
 
....available for the plug in that is! Im not turning up needing mods to be fitted, as it reads!
 
Nice one. These gestures are coming in thick and fast! I know bolton fairly well, so even better. Thanks for that. Anyway, re it being a while before i fit my dv, I couldnt resist! I bought the dv at 3.15 today in irlam. It was on the car by 5'o clock! Ive been up and and down a few roads tonight, rain n all! Quite impressed by it. Im sure its opened up the response quite some. Seems livelier.

No problem... I assume you were at Awesome then if in Irlam ;)
 
Yes, i was in irlam all last week, so i thought it be rude not to take this opportunity to seek Awesome out. And a dv was on the agenda at some point, so why not indulge. The dv seems to have cleared a hesitation prob my car suffered on cold starts. Couldnt help but notice the very morning after it was fitted, it was 8 degree that morning though, considerably warmer than has been. Im hoping for a chilly morn this week to see if it really cleared it!
