My partner is now running Continental contact 2's on the S3 - I like Continentals am running contact 3's on my Edition 30 Mk5 Golf - very good dry and excellent in the wet (we live in Wales lol) !!
When my partner bought hers 2 months ago - one headlight seemed newer than the other. I flatted it back using 3000 wet and dry with plenty of water and then buffed it with menzerna heavy cut polish and then a lighter cut polish with my DAS6 and hey presto - brand spanking looking headlight...
This is Mrs Imola Yellow S3... Lovely to meet you to!!:meeting: Just had a giggle at your names there ... I kept calling you the Doctor as we didnt catch your name either!! Really enjoyed the day...:arco:
My Edition 30 Mk5 is 300bhp / 300 ft/lb with just a remap - I went out in a "well sorted" Edition 30 yesterday which was stage 2+ which is a fuel pump, turbo back system and stg2 map about 330 to 340+ bhp and loads more torque than mine. I get wheelspin off the throttle in 4th and sometimes...
Hey guys, I'd like to participate in the next meet - my gf's got an Imola Yellow 8L S3 and I have a 310bhp Edition 30 Mk5 Golf - am from the Beacons area and know the roads quite well.
Would love to meet some new VAG lovers - on the same hand there is a local VAG club that has been going for...
It is one of these - they are fab !

Richie, ofcourse you can have a go good sir !
You leaving Mr Cooke's at 0630hrs ?

Another update - removed air filter to eliminate that being a problem - no change at all to air flow at all ???
However, on the way to a mate's it did stay with a new TT S Roadster on the motorway at "good" speeds - and was even catching it !
So .... I suppose all seems well maybe it's not...
True, I'm just concerned that the issues above will be accentuated by a remap ... I dunno - will do another run tonight with the filter removed just to rule that out - it looks quite clean inside and out - will give it a go. Suppose a dodgy thermostat on the car at present is not going to help...
I'm getting the 206 off the maf calculation. The 120 block is still reading 186 bhp and 200 lbft torque so it's still not right. Am still reading 20 bhp down ? Should I be checking anything else for this lost power ?

Yes indeed ! Remap ! ...
But ... what am I to trust the 165.36 / 0.8 = 206 or the vagcom power run that shows 186 bhp ? The torque figure is a little more than standard making 200 lb/ft from 3000 - 4000. How accurate is the vagcom block 120 measuring tool ? Can I estimate power from Maf...
Right guys, changed the MAF today - now getting maximum 165.36 g/s flow - car feels a lot better - seems to be going better too. However, still not achieving 180 g/s which is what everyone is pointing too. However 165.36 / 0.8 is 206.7 bhp, so it should be good for delivering the around the...
