Scirocco Central

I live about a mile from the east coast I’ve had my scirocco for over 5 years and the car itself is a 61 plate It’s cleaned well (2 bucket method & aqua waxed) and has been machine polished about 18 month ago and there are no signs of rust up top I’ve seen the underside on several occasions when...

As far as I'm aware it doesn't alter the throttle response.

You’re right, it doesn’t according vw’s webpage on dcc-acc

It uses engine data to adjust the dampers

So it only adjusts steering weight and damper stiffness

I believe acc was standard on the gt version I have a 2.0 tsi gt and I have it 99%of the time it’s in sport mode, 1% in comfort for the longer journeys You do notice a difference in how heavy the steering is and how stiff the suspension is between all 3 modes I couldn’t honestly say I notice a diffe...

THB i used to use Osram Night breakers on several different cars when driving 22-31K year a good improvement in light output but invariably they never lasted very long some wa less than a year and that was before Auto headlights DLR I swapped to Philips and they seem to last longer although costa l...

Could have had more wrung out if it, but stew @ alive tuning told me that the map he settled on was the best of the ones he tried as the more powerful map made things run a bit hot

Didn’t get to really try it out on the way home, but it seems much smoother through the Rev range and very punchy

And the power/torque curves

Just had a stage 1 map done again as I had the old one removed due to engine issues which are now resolved

So here’s the power figures, 248hp and 322mn in case you can’t squint enough to see the pic!

Cool, glad to help

Which fuel pump was replaced? High pressure one or sender by the fuel tank?

I had a reoccurring 0172 code before the 2178/88 codes

Fuel pump under/near the fuel tank fixed that for me

I had similar issues

Fault codes 2178 & 2188 I think, basically running lean on & off idle

Did loads of work, pcv, pcv breather, lamda sensor & high pressure fuel rail sensor

Before finally fixing it with a high pressure fuel pump

And in nice bright sunlight

Cheers, the images aren’t the best as the sun had just set

I didn’t really have an opportunity before this to do the polishing

I didn’t look at non branded buckets/grit guards as I wanted it next day I just went to Halfords

I’m impressed with the results

What do you ‘orrible little lot think?

Seen as I asked for and got a das 6 for Xmas I thought this weekend would be perfect to give it a try Products used Old skool hose pipe, no snow foam here (yet...) Meguires bucket and grit guard Random new clean bucket Halfords wash mitt Halfords advanced car wash (didn’t have anything better to han...
