Jamiekip - The hubs do have a bit of surface rust at the rear - Well spotted! Car will be soon in for its 10k service, I see what our local Audi Dealer says about the hubs. WX51TR - Cheers for the comments. Water filters certainly help avoid water spotting even if you work quickly/carefully...

Looks good ! Good reflections. Worth getting a mate to help out as it can take ages. Maybe next time make the pics a bit bigger as the jpg compression/aliasing isn't doing your paintwork many favours. I've had good experience with Sonus green clay bar recently and a Porter Cable certainly helps..

Thanks! Really pleased with how the car responded to Menz/CG XXX Wax. Was a bit hard on the eyes tho' - white polish on a white car! Used just less than 60 litres after jet washing the car 4x for the detail. Hopefully help those ppl interesting purchasing inline water filters work out how long...

We bought this car a few months ago from a local dealer. It was 1 month old ex-demo model and as part of the price negotiations I waved the superguard/autoglym offer. I'd kinda expected the car to have had its paint prepped a little, but was wrong. Water lay flat on the paint even when clean...

Used to be on mkiv's a quite a bit when I had my Golf PD130... Now mostly here, TT forum and E60.net. MKiV's is good resource for Vag Com info. I found that over the years the noise to info ratio increased a lot, but thats what happens with 15k users I guess. And the search on that site is still...

Depends on how you drive the TDI. I've been trying to adapt my technique with the DSG/170 and got 57.8mpg over a 120 mile round trip with average speed of 58mph. That said if I drive with my brain in automatic, the car gets low 40's.

The diesel power race continues with this new twin turbo 2.0d engine from BMW. Audi better start releasing some new engines or it'll be left behind. Original article: http://www.motorauthority.com/cars/bmw/400nm-four-banger-diesel-from-bmw/

GIAC - Very popular tuner in the states. Almost in every issue of European Car Magazine with one VAG car or another

There's a review of the Golf GT 170 DPF in this months Volkswagen Driver. Think Neil Birkett particular liked the 170, esp the fact that the torque curve reached its plateau earlier and held it there. Not seen a review of remapped 140 - but expect that the figs should be a little better than a...

Great thread... Had a remapped PD130 MkIV Golf prior to this 170 DSG and that did 50mpg all day long (90% motorway mileage/speeds) My 170DSG has 3k miles on it now and its averaging low-mid 40's. My feeling is that the true economy is about 42-43mpg based on M40 driving at 80-80mph. It...

This was the drivers seat on mine after 4 years/40k miles Close up I tended to use hot water in a Vax to clean them.....

I ran the 'J' in a remapped BAM engined TTR for most of the summer last year. My experience was that it was fine (and made the portly TT quite savage), until about November or so when it kept going into limp... Vagcom reports and occasionally accompanied with In my situation the car...

Hopefully get my copy tomorrow. Will make a change from reading the usual Audi/VW driver editorial (i hope!)

Couldn't find this mag in my local (Bromsgrove) WHSmiths - so in the end rang up and subscribed for 6 months. £15 for 6 issues is a good deal as the magazine is £3.95 per issue. Not read it, so cant comment on the quality. Photography is meant to be in the same vein as Evo magazine. The website...

Seems like remaps for the 170 are a bit thin on the ground. Most companies have either released them and then withdrawn them or not released them at all. The common story is EGR light and problems with the DPF. Milltek have also advised my local specialist not to fit a cat back exhaust to my 8L...

I'd guess that the remap might limit torque. However my old AmD'd TDI 130 didn't have too much problem with 300+lbft.

Great thread - Thanks for the info roadrunner. Looking to get my 170 DSG remapped/HPA Clutched and Milltek'd soon.
