ESP means Electronic stability program, aka traction control. ESP ON = Traction control on ESP OFF = Traction control off If you like your car to go straight and don't enjoy sideways action then ESP ON. If you fancy having a tear up in an empty field or car park then ESP OFF.

I like to switch it off on slippery days for quattro time. :racer:

I stuck with K03S and it quite comfortably keeps me up with bigger cars around the track and on the road. The NA Mini's, Clio's and Honda's were all quite surprised how well the full fat A3 outdone them on the straights. Horses for courses really, just bear in mind big turbo swaps will quickly...

Bringing this thread back to life, what water meth kits are people running? AEM, Devils Own, Cooling Mist? Whats best/cheapest place to get one from? Would people advise to advance timing and map ecu again for water meth, or just install water meth and leave timing as it is?

From the symptoms you described I would definitely look for corroded Haldex earth strap and corroded Haldex connectors. I had same fault code, I replaced my earth strap with a new cable and repaired the connector and hey presto.

Hi All, Looking for light weight reclining bucket seats and sub frames. Currently got the full fat leather interior which is comfortable but weighs a tonne. If you got seats or even aftermarket sub frames kicking about let me know and we discuss further. Thanks in advance.

So basically your car has failed the MOT because there is an active or stored fault code on the ECU but no engine check light is on is the cluster, which could mean that someone has pulled the check engine light bulb out from the cluster to hide the fault. The MOT station have diagnosed your car...

Change the oil and oil filter at the same time, do it once and do it right no need for two oil changes. I would also recommend using an oil flush especially on turbo powered cars.

If your so worried about your engine then forget about remapping your car because your making a mountian out of a molehill, I have remapped cars with alot higher mileage than yours with no issues what so ever, it really isn't a big deal.

Sounds like the flux capacitor has broke.

2.0 tfsi remaps... you should be able to squeeze another 50-70hp in stock form. You could go for an economy map +25% power. 50/50 map, 50% increase. Power map, tuned to the max! Plenty of mobile tuners around these days that will come out to you and have it done within the hour.

I got full Miltek resonated with decat and no centre boxes and its brilliant, just what you expect from a quality exhaust system. Quiet and humble on tick over, doesn't drone at all and unleashed some extra HP. You can subtly hear it when you go through the gears and pops and bangs when...

Could be N75 not working properly, hence low boost. You using an o.e N75 or a Chinese ebay one? To test N75 and turbo, disconnect the vacuum line from N75 going to turbo actuator, this should make it boost like buggery, so be careful. If it still doesn't boost then turbo actuator or turbo...
