If you tune a diesel beyond stage 1 that's what you get and that's considered a small amount
you should see the smoke out of the hybrids and stage 2 cars lol Sent from my LT18i using Tapatalk 2
The smoke test is mot tester dependant, as mine currently is it will pass on the smoke test, the fact that it's de cat that could present a couple of.problems, good job Im mates with an mot tester in London lol
Cheers Alex, sounds awesome now it's bedded in alot better just wish the parts suppliers would get there finger out of there arse and get me the fitting bits for the fmic, it's like no.bugger wants my money lol

right then a couple of little updates:
Now spoken to forge and I will have my FMIC parts on Monday and touchwood will be fitted on wednesday morning, should mean my MPG will increase again as its gone through the floor since mapping it (average about 39 atm) probably due to a.) heavier right foot as I love the noise b.) cars been mapped for a FMIC thats not fitted so its probably over fuelling at the minute, lets see what happens.
In the mean time:
Cupra style gear gaitor has been fitted:
this little sod of a clip is a right bugger to remove:
not bad for £12
I have vinyled the front lip as the black paint was really bad chipped and marked and was a tri colour lip (red white and black). It's not perfect as I couldn't remove the grill due to it already being broken in the the middle so it would have just smashed upon removal.
in order to complete it i had to make up a template for the curve of the grill:
use said template and mark out on the vinyl what i needed and then cut to shape:
then applied with a hair dryer. There are some bubbles but its not bad at all for a temporary fix:
car had been throughly cleaned with several applications of snow foam, polish and wax:

and did this on impulse as i was bored:
not sure if I like it.

As are mine probably just the picture being slightly darker. The colour is very much a dark anthracite colour, it's the colour I want the wheels lol

It's growing on me, where did you get that red tdi badge you had on the truck?

You should have said Phil I had my TDI badges from the wing that I literally just threw out lol
Sam.
Sam.
I have my TDi badges from the sides if you like?
You will just need some double sided tape to attach them.
which size are the ones you have? I'm ideally looking for a fairly small badge to tuck under the FR badge like you get on the new style Passats etc
dont suppose you have a part number or shall i just ask dave for a small red tdi badge?
