clue?
No clue sorry bud. I wish I'd never said anything now because I know I'll get queried about it on here, lol.
Hopefully Saturday evening I will have the update for you.
Time for some sleep now. Speak soon mate.

Tom you mentioned an R8 oil cap at AMD today, creation do them for £19. Out of stock at the moment but it's £10 cheaper than awesome GTI.

Must make my fob do that. I always get in the car and start talking to myself forgetting my passenger is still outside lol. You mentioned that sensor to me today, luckily not had that fault yet but seems you may have a way of fixing it. Not impressed at my ABS related faults
Have you looked for the code in morks long thread in the vagcom section? I thought my new noise would show up as a boost leak if the tip or dv hose was split, but nothing on the fault scan. Makes me worry a bitjust went for a blast round the town A roads and am even more impressed by the map every time.
ABS faults clear them mate see if they come back. That's what I do with every fault to make sure really.
Nice one on the linky! O2 sensor problems occur when you have a sports cat or aftermarket downpipe fitted mate. You will be ok at the moment being just cat-back.
Have a double check of the hoses and replace what you can, when you can to rule each one out one by one. Tiresome but for peace of mind..
Glad you love the map!![]()
I cleared them, scanned again right away and they came backThe creation website lists absolutely everything as out of stock as far as I've checked, so don't trust it lol.
Aye, a tip and hoses will be bought this month (sorry wallet). I found a full set of hoses for £70 (excluding tip) but they were 4 ply polyester not silicon, so probably not worth buying. Creation tip for now I think. Got a big plasma telly to sell on ebay so should make a bit off that to help me through the month!
2 days ago I was saying stage 1 will do me fine, now since I've got it done today and I had a quick ride in yours all I can think about is getting it ready for stage 2![]()
MINI UPDATE:
Tom - I should have done this last night before I took you out today! Feels better nowI didn't think it felt that fast earlier...
Sounds good Tom, I unplugged my battery last week and since then my car has a horrible hesitation which I think is the TB being put out of alignment.
How did you do the alignment on Vag-Com? LCR's are KWP1281 aren't they?

I'm doing mine tomorrow with a clean up as well.
Nice one TomIs TB alignment something I need to spend some time reading about? Or is it easy to do? I thought yours felt fast
My battery has been disconnected quite a few times so may be worth doing.
Will I lose my map if I disconnect battery for too long? Thanks for the car compliments too.
EDIT: Just seen jamjays post - I will read the destructions![]()
t0m to confirm is this the guide for us to follow to reset the tb
Procedure for performing a Throttle Body Alignment on DBW Cars using KWP-1281:
(Check to see if the engine speaks KWP-1281 by looking in the top left of the Open Controller Screen Some examples of KWP-1281 engine controllers are 2000+ Golf/GTI/Jetta/New Beetle/Audit TT 1.8T)
Turn the key on but do not start the car.
[Select]
[01 - Engine]
[Measuring Blocks - 08]
Group 060
[Go!]
[Switch to basic settings]
Once you do this you will see the top right display say ADP RUN. The TB adaptation is being done as soon as you switch to basic settings. You will see the values change and hear the TB cycle for the first few seconds then it will stop. Leave it in Basic Settings for about 30 seconds.
[Switch to Meas. Blocks] button and you're all set.
Be sure not to touch the accelerator and make sure the engine is NOT running when you do this!
Thanks t0m just done mine, not much happened as JKM did a month of so ago but now i know how to do it
