Never take your car to Awesome for remaps. they are so crap its unreal, i've just had mine removed due to it over fuelling, the map that they put on hardly even increased boost either! they are not touching my car again.
Left the car that i went to view, it just didnt seem right.. there was evidence of paintwork thats been carried out on the front wing which put me off and the milage was 87,000 not the 80,000 i'de been told! Also the car was bearing plates and a tax disk holder with the MB motor group logo which...
Going to see the Audi today, just wondering before i travel the 60 miles or so, ate the 1.8TFSI engines strong engines to go for even with 80,000 miles on? As some of you have these engines, what are your views?
Can i ask you guys what servicing costs are like? and how often do they need servicing? i've never had a petrol car before so not so sure, all i know is its more regular compared to Diesels.
Btw its red Shady Ninja
I know my cars worth more if i sold it privately but i hate the hassle of selling privately. Mines a 140BHP MK5 which is remapped to around 180BHP. The upgrade adds sports seats, 3 spoke sterring wheel, sports suspension, 17inch alloys
Well the one i am going to see is an SE with the Sport package upgrade.. Priced at £5995, they said if my car lives up to the condition i've mentioned to them then they will give me £4800 (2004 GT TDI with 2008 GT Sport facelift, 70k FSH etc) The new car has only had ONE owner from new and have...
Ah cheers guys, some good views on the engine here! I'll definitely go look at the one im after on thursday.. Diesels dont make much sense to me as i only drive around town so only seen an average of 32-35mpg that with the higher prices just makes it silly.
Hey guys, looking at trading my Golf GT TDI in for an A3 1.8TFSI, just wondering if anyone knows the costs of running one of these and if they are high?
Thanks

Try insure it with your bank as normally for around the same price you can get iPhone insurance, laptop insurance and car breakdown in a package. Sometimes it will be included free also dependant on account type. If not i think 'Protect Your Bubble' is a good bet!
The exhaust is going to make that rear look so mean. The sound will hopefully even better!! I'll be following suit very close behind with the exact same exhaust set up once I've seen yours!! Might try pop down to the garage on Wednesday to have a word with them and check your bad boy out!!!!
Four MOT stations in total told me that they were illegal, with Kwik Fit being the only one that said that are legal but then another tester from the same garage came out and argued the fact that they were not acceptable in his eyes also. I think i'm the buyer the eBay Seller maybe talking about...
I got some from the vendor mentioned above. A few months after fitting i got stopped by the police saying the font wasn't correct etc, even though it was stamped with the BSAU145d mark (British Standard). They have been replaced with standard plates now, which after having metal pressed ones on...
I got my new Sachs one fitted last night and it feels great! Most people say the Sachs are the best to go with as they are stronger.. Turns out my car had a sachs originally as well, yours could be the same.
Hey guys, just wondering if a Sachs clutch will be ok running with an LUK Flywheel? Or do the flywheel and clutch have to match each other? I'm getting a new clutch fitted tomorrow as mines slipping loads after my remap. My cars a 04 Golf MK5 GT TDI, BKD engine. Not sure which flywheel the car...
