Mk2 to Mk4

[muddyboots]

The only other mods to do is a big turbo conversion, Ed did everything else

 

[chillcupra]

Looks awesome...Ed did a good job with that. Nice motor!

 

[rashcupra]

big turbo i like

 

[T. Spark]

Yuppy, nothing else to do imho... looks wise atleast, as its perfect!

Of course, more power is always a option, aswell as the bits to go with it.. but its no crouch as it is, under 15 second 1/4 times and 50mpg+ I like

The mk2's got a new owner in waiting. Just waiting to get my plate sorted then it can go.

Im not touching the engine

Wheels will be changed just to make it personal. But theres a long time to go yet as im broke

Just a little question, when the fuel light beeps how many miles do i have left? Will be my first fill up tomorow........must remember diesel!!


Oh and another thing, has anyone fitted an oil temp guage? It was handy on the mk2.

 

[Triple D]

i got about 60 miles when mine read 0 miles left, and that was with a 140 mph blast aswell

 

[Triple D]

the mk4 first few had oil temp and volt meter gauges fitted to them, id also invest in a boost and EGT gauge aswell matey, its well worth it

 

[jenk]

Im sound to get to work and back then

Whats an EGT? Excuse my retardness.

Ill have a search to see what guages folk have used. Cheers

 

[Triple D]

Exhaust gas temperature.
Found it very uselfull on my derv, especially as i had a hybrid turbo running high boost.

 

[jenk]

Ah rite, good stuff. Are the guages easy enough to fit?

 

[EdButler]

The fuel needle can start to go under the red before filling, it just stays there for about 30 miles - T. Spark and i found that one out last trip to Santa Pod

Id say 60-100 miles from the bleeper depending on driving

 

[Brummy]

Jenko, I have a boost guage sitting in the box in my boot doing nowt if its of any use....
oh, and a 'quick tip'.... watch yer bleddy left leg on the handle to move the seat back! Im forever smacking my lower calf/ankle area into it...

 

[jenk]

That fuel lights so rude! How dare it beep that loud!!

Ill give her a fill up tonite just to be safe, must get some of that millers stuff too.

Cheers brum, ill send you over a pm at some point. I have something in my garage for you too

Just wait until the outside temp drops below 4º too

 

[rashcupra]

thats sounds more like an elivator bleep

 

[jenk]

Not more

Its a good thing the tcs dosnt make a noise

 

[muddyboots]

Its a good thing the tcs dosnt make a noise

It does on my Passat. Hard braking, hard cornering or wheelspin make the ESP beep quietly, as if to whisper "You're not really driving a Passat like it was intended, please calm down"

 

[jenk]

Thats abit overkill, find the box that makes the noise and smash it
