Thanks Grugly. I actually found out you keep the two USB ports even with standard Discover and to be honest I much prefer knobs over the all-digital approach of the Pro so I'll be going for standard...

I'm afraid it has to be a 132tsi for a number of reasons: Where I'm based (not Australia) there is currently a campaign for the 132 that creates a price difference between a 132 and a 162 of a...

Currently considering the jump to a Tiguan but trying to build the ideal spec i (naturally) have some questions that my dealer is (naturally) unable to answer.

First, the engine. How is the CZPA...

No, car has actual boost sensors that read pressure AFAIK. Aftermarket boost gauges are there only for simplicity, always visible without having to run OBD tools which are anyway slow and limited (i...

It's a while now since the JB4 is out for the CJX engine so what are people's experiences with the JB4 on the GTI 40 / Clubsport? Preferrably compared to the JB1's operation as I'm wondering whether...

Actually no. At least in the EU the car is registered as 195kw in every official document I have in my hands.

Well it's not like it's going to break if you ask full power from low revs but yes it's easier on the drive/power-train going through all gears (no point in staying too much around the redline...

If you mean how to invoke it, I think the only condition is foot hard down as if you're trying to punch a hole through the footwell (which feels bad actually) and that's it (provided you're in 3rd...

Here's one just full throttle and overboost on I suppose:

And another one with overboost on...

I don't think you should stress over it. The CS has been measured on the dyno and makes 290-300bhp with the over-boost ON (I have a couple of CS dyno graphs if you're interested and they are all...

As I understand it it needs tampering with some wire and because my intention with this car is to leave it 100% stock (or so I still say), without a single screw (or wire) modified I have abandoned...

Should have answered yes, lol. But seriously the 335i is no speed freak really. It's on par with a stock Clubsport in in-gear accelerations: 60-160km/h in ~9s, 100-200km/h in ~14s, these are the...

It's never frustrating going stage 2 is it??

On a serious note, do you know if this revision has only recently rolled out because not long ago there was another guy going through the hassle of...

That thread is from April 2016 and in fact (iirc) the flag in question has actually been out since 2012. Yet, and despite the scaremongering that that thread briefly revived at the time, no JB1...

Just how loud is this sound as I can't say I've noticed such a thing on mine and I do have the fuel lines rattle but that is an easy fix. Do you need to have the stereo off and pay attention to...

Does it sound like this by any chance?

Like a vibration becoming apparent around 2.5k and then...

Had the Sonax nanoguard ceramic protection on mine, always get impressed by how good it looks whenever it's washed and the shine comes back.

Lovely, reminds me I really need to wash mine...

I can't say I have any of these issues. Whenever I want to be in control of the gears and use the engine as I would in a manual gearbox (which is 90% of the time) I switch the DSG to Manual...

Ok, so I tried it yesterday. I basically only messed with the first two low beam channels Leuchte6ABL and 7ABL (the dot LED and U leds were already part of the CH/LH function and I wanted it to stay...

Wow that's a serious tweak! I'll try to find the time and do it over the coming days and report back.

The fog lights get deleted on the Clubsport because of the aerodynamic design of the front...

Hi Don,

A great answer as always! However given that it's a Clubsport there are no fog lights to use so I presume the suggested alternative is not possible in my car and I do have to mess with the...

Is there a way to have coming/leaving home lights activated with the main xenon bulbs staying off, and just the DRL's on?

I was reading the other day that on/off cycles can shorten the xenon bulbs...

Isn't the S3 a polished R though? At least that was my test-drive impression. (And a worse driver's car than the R but I won't open another debate now).

As for this discussion, it's a car forum,...

Actually, the OP said it's an "interesting vid" and I didn't take it any more seriously than simply state that it is laughable, for very obvious reasons. I would hope FWD poor launching is a...
