Re: Smoke when idling

Car was sold as standard but found after afterwards it has been tuned to 350hp... the tuner said its almost certain other mods have been done, he assumed a downpipe.. but I don't really know. Exhaust isnt that loud so assuming the rest of that is standard.
Maybe its just the tune..

Re: Strange pop/clunk when turning corners

is the noise the wierd, spring like noise, it happened twice in the vid, or the quietish clunk? I had a DDC damper go once on my old scirocco after lowering it.. it made some thuds not going around corners but over speed bumps / road imperfections. Another reason for clunks is when the suspension sp...

Recaro Seats.. do they auto slide forward?

My scirocco has Recaro seats, the optioned ones, not aftermarket. I've always thought it was a bad design that they don't slide forward when trying to let somebody into the back of the car, when i pull on the release lever in the head rest it only allows the back of the chair to pivot forwards and b...

Re: Engine cover removal

you have to detach the air intake, some piping clips and cables from the cover... Then you have to really pull hard on the areas that the cover connects to the engine on.. i broke one of the mounting points, luckily cheap to replace... but yeah its overly tight... i had to take it off a second time ...

he went into the ecu and checked the map, it was a quick remap where whoever tuned it just made the boost requested max value from 2k rpm. he sorted this out with his own map. I did think the same as you tho, i guess its worth checking, should be easy enough to spot. Ill try and contact the previous...
