Looks like Racingline can tune it: RACINGLINE OEM+ PERFORMANCE ECU SOFTWARE - 2.0TSI EA888 GEN 3B 'MAF' - Harding Performance

Not sure how keen you are to get...

Ok so if its a Gen 3 then its got the tiny IS12 turbo which should have basically zero turbo lag. Your car should be making strong torque from about 1,500rpm onwards until about 5000rpm when it will...

In Melbourne go and see the guys at Underground Performance. Arguably the best and most knowledgeable VW tuners in Victoria.

If you want an off the shelf tune (like APR) then perhaps try a...

Refer images below.

I very much doubt that stage 2 is what you want. It requires parts to be changed and will make the car louder.

Gen 1

Gen 3 (which is what I think your car will...

A hub dyno will cost more than a roller dyno because the process takes longer (they need to remove all 4x wheels and connect to the hub dyno). A roller dyno (or rolling road) is a much quicker...

@Sharkie hold up, I thought the Scout 132TSI used the IS12 turbo. Does it use the larger IS20 turbo?

I think you might have linked the wrong APR page. That one says its a Gen 1 EA888. This car...

Something does not sound right here at all. A tune gives you considerably more power and torque from 1500rpm all the way to maximum rpm. Obviously you will spend most of the time between...

^ that OBD11 shown above is very cheap. Very cheap. Almost too good to be true. What are the chances its a Chinese knock off?

Sounds like you might have a leaking injector or injector that is stuck open on cylinder 2.

The early EA888 engines are known for carbon buildup, and yes the carbon buildup can cause misifires but...

Funnily enough it's faster (for me) today, but over the weekend and late last week it was painfully slow.

You have to REALLY be paying attention to notice and you can only really tell if you come to a stop at a traffic light with your window down. There is a bit of a chemical-type smell from the exhaust,...

Welcome back Brad. And congrats on the Alltrack.

Good to hear you are getting underway with some servicing - its a nice feeling to know its done and gives you an opportunity to have a good look...

I would think the next logical step would be to check the oil pickup. What engine does your car have? If yours is the petrol 4 cylinder then the oil pickup is reasonably common to get blocked with...

Possibly a faulty/damaged wheel speed sensor (also known as an ABS sensor) - very common on the Mk5 and Mk6 and causes the errors you have got.

Assuming this is the issue, its a cheap fix and easy...

Another 6 monthly oil change on the SQ5 this past weekend @ 98,000km. Used my oil extractor to suck out the old oil which is super handy and speeds things up as the underbelly pan on this car has...

You could try European Car Specialists who are located in Currajong. They have good reviews.

Also A1 Autocare Specailsts who are also in Currajong. They have good reviews.

Both specialise in...

First one that day perhaps.....my independent mechanic says he does 4-6 a week when I had mine done on my Mk7 GTI.

Try pressing the on/off button down for about 10 seconds. This should reboot the system.

This is correct. Unless there is an underlying issue already, vehicles that that are allowed to get to operating temp for a good period of time regularly are unlikely to have issues. Modern diesel...

Hi and welcome. Rest assured the T-Roc R can hold its own against the other cars you have owned despite the smaller engine. Wait until you tune it and do a few other mods and you can actually put all...

Hi and welcome Wipp. You've had a couple of nice previous cars too. The Mk7 R goes from brisk to fast with a strong stage 1 tune, you wont know yourself. What else are you looking to do to it?

Hi and welcome to the forum. These vans are great for adventuring/camping.

Hi and welcome. Good to hear you do work on your own car - its rare these days. I also enjoy working on my own cars as much as possible and within my own mechanical limits.

Sounds like a decent win on the N75 valve - definitely worth only buying genuine or top quality OEM manufacturer for certain parts. Perhaps look into doing a smoke test to see if you have any boost...
