Re: My Night blue 2.0tsi gt
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

Re: HELP with '12 plate Scirocco TSI GT
I had a reoccurring 0172 code before the 2178/88 codes
Fuel pump under/near the fuel tank fixed that for me

Re: HELP!!
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

Re: Results of 1st go at machine polishing
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
