    1.9 TDI DV upgrade?

    Hi mate just thought I would jump in and say I cleaned my turbo using the Mr muscle method and it worked really well, it's now a year on from me doing it and I have not had a single limp mode or any power loss at all. Easy to do as well.

    Liquid gauge accuracy

    Apparently on diesels it uses the ecu torque method to calculate the bhp so I'm assuming if the torque is increased the bhp will follow. I've been planning on getting a remap once I've fitted my stainless exhaust and upgraded intercooler, will getting a remap cause any problems if it already has...

It was definitely the front left so changed the bearing and no more noise or vibrations :) Thanks for...

    Rotating rumbling noise

    That's brilliant cheers mate, much appreciated, that will be the first job of the weekend. Tyres are wearing pretty much the same, no obvious difference anyway. Will be back on soon to report my findings.
