Last week I put a blacksmoke remap on my b5.5 and now the turbo whistles more than it did and the clutch gets really hot and smells of burning when I drive it, I'm not that concerned but I wondered if anyone else had experienced this? The car has done 190,000 and I don't know if and when the clutch ...

first go tomorrow !

nope its going to need changing soon, probably ever sooner now haha, the cars done 191000 now and as far as I know its STILL the standard clutch (even though it can't be can it?)

162bhp - 290lb/ft torque

yep and with the new 162 bhp remap it should shift a bit now

yes mate received it today was a right pain removing the old cat the ets one looks ok, i dont expect it to last long but it was cheap enough, the only slight issue was the holes for the nuts were ever so slightly off but a hammer sorted it!

Thanks chaps, I decided against and fitted a decat today to replace my 16 month old cat which was the cause of the noise !!

fast n loud ... LOVE IT!!

coolio im doing mine and my bro's on sunday cant wait!

thanks steviemac glad someone has real experience of doing it! did you just buy a "mpps vag cable" ?

great, im shocked at how cheap it is! did you use an "ebay" cable T2000?

I've come across blacksmokes site and was amazed to see a DIY map costs only £45, has anyone actually done this themselves, I would use an MPPS cable from ebay to be honest if I did buy a map

thanks toon, I'll get in touch with them

Wow nice engineering....I've just ordered the ETS one cant wait to get it fitted I sound like a bag of spanners rolling down the road

ah well Ill try the ETS one and hope it arrives quickly

Ah maaan I found the link etc but they don't have the dummy cat on

Thanks chaps, I've got that one on my watch list gazwould I just wanted to actually go and get one as I work in Walsall and John ashley is based there too, I need to get rip of this bloody annoying rattle!!

Im sure I saw a thread on here about someone who had bought a de-cat pipe from john ashley exhausts walsall a while ago...is it you? if so how much did you pay, was it custom built, did you have to wait for it to be made? I'm going to ring them tomorrow as I want one

Thanks Ben

thats a similar sound mate, it was from buypartsby not sure on the make

wahoo !! well if it turns out to be my 17 month old cat thats knackered then its going !!

the search function has assisted greatly

Last week my car developed a really loud metallic rattle coming from the exhaust. I fitted an aftermarket brand new cat last June so I thought "it can't be that", it must be the old and rusty centre box. So today I had a Bosal centre box fitted for £80 and guess what...the rattles still t...

if you send them an image of the nuts they can match it up too, well they offered me that service when I lost mine a while back

if you call mcguard they will send you another locking nut key as an emergency!!!! just give them the code if you have it job done!!

Bit of an update, today I called her insurance company as last night she sent me a message saying "fu** off" and gave them the details, they requested normal details plus images and screenshots of the texts between us and the one where she admitted fault. 2 hours later they called to say s...
