    TDI De-Cat

    These turbo's are like rocking horse pooh! Plenty of CR's on fleabay when I looked but people out there know that there is a demand for the PD version on the BV43 and know how to charge for one! If I could get me mits on one for around £150 - £200 I'd definately buy one as my garret turbo...

    S4 Bought ......

    Pointless replacing tyres the still have life in them, with mine I had to pod out for all 4 as the front's were fubar'd and the rears had only another 1kish in them - Falken 452's would never have them again, pants grip and too much road noise. This time I went for conti sport 3's and fair to...

    HID's flickering

    Update.. Problem seems to of gone away! Doighnut here decided to leave his side lights on for over 28hrs which resulted in a flat battery and despite my best efforts (2 day trickle charge coupled by a 2 hr run) the old lead bestie kicked the bucket. So I needed another battery sharpish but...

    HID's flickering

    Cheers for looking mate, just parniod of getting the wrong ones! As mine has D1S fitment bulbs opposed to the D2S ones also fitted to 02 plate cars! Gonna take the lamp units out tomorrow (weather dependent) to see if there are any loose connections as the flickering does seem to be vibration...

    1.9 tdi 130bhp fwd vs quattro mpg

    I generally get about 550 / 46mpg to a tank which is just daily commutes which is a mixture start/stop (traffic in to Nottingham!) and dual carriageway. This was always with V-Power Derv, however at the last fill up I decided to put 'Fuelsave' in and I am currently getting 48mpg, 420 done and...

    Suspension getting worse!

    Some of you may know that I have posted before about my suspension not being right, but it appears to be getting worse! I have had FSD's fitted to my std springs for around 3k now and the ride is very boucey and 'stittish' (sorry if thats not a word!) over bumps. At low speeds you can really...

    HID's flickering

    Christ mate, what farse! Have identified that it is the nearside which keeps dropping out looking at the head light it appears to have some movement in it. Cant seem to get it to seat properly. Can't help but think if there has been constent movement it could of damaged the ballast?

    HID's flickering

    Hmm, not the answer I wanted! Mine has D1S bulbs fitted so I'm guessing they will be very expensive. Is there any way I can test the ballasts before poddin out for new units?

    TDI De-Cat

    I had mine De-Catted and to be honest, pound for pound it was the best mod I have made (£70). Needless to say, you dont get massive power gains or big increases in fuel economy but the turbo does spool up quicker to give a more responsive drive and I did notice a slight inprovement on fuel...
