So I have installed a raspberry pi in my car with a 7inch touch screen display and running android auto on it which works great and I love it, but atm I have been routing the audio through my radio (which has a jack input) which I have relocated in the glovebox temporarily. I would like to get an am...

I really hope that is the issue...

Gazwould wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2017 12:24 pm Definitely a factor , ESP must be OFF .

Ask them to do it again .

Thanks Gaz,

I will call on Monday to see if I can do it again.

I remembered the dyno person asking me if the car has traction control (esp) and I said yes but I can turn it off... and I forgot to do so (i don't think he turned it off either).

I'm wondering whether that could of been a factor but would it be that dramatic?

The only benefit I have is a straight through 2.5 decat exhaust , super linear torque but made 10 ftlb less than quoted peak .

Could a decat make that much difference?

Something is wrong as std remap is 288 lbft and yours is less than the 275 lbft clutch saving ( mine made 265 lbft ) . Mine . http://rs1310.pbsrc.com/albums/s645/Gazwould/18d7788b-d47b-4c9f-8d71-d324604756e8_zpsf4b11674.jpg?w=480&h=480&fit=clip Hmm, I'll speak to Simon maybe I can get him t...

You know the clutch saving is a 175 bhp map ? really? I thought it was about 160bhp, maybe cause of the new camshafts will I need a new map? Std profile camshaft , no new map required . Ordinary remap is 163 bhp , clutch saving 175 bhp with less but linear torque . This is the problem with having j...

Apologies for the slow reply. If you would like to increase the bhp and torque output and improve the driveability of your car then of course the remap will benefit you :esm Of course, I can't say for certain that your clutch wont slip after the remap, because I do not know the current condition it...

Stock or clutch saving remap file ?

Probably the best one , although I've never seen a dyno plot print out of the regular file . Well...guess what Gaz, I did it :D This is with the new camshafts so I presume if your car has the original camshafts it will be slightly less powered. But I'm very happy with the power and torque output. T...

After that I went to my next holiday, camping in Devon very beautiful there!, and managed to peak at 58mpg on my dash readings and the car felt way more responsive especially at low revs and seemed to be pulling for a lot longer than before. https://timo93.blob.core.windows.net/images/ukpassats/4182...

Then Summer came! and travelled all the way up to leeds on 55mpg all the way of course (I know the dash readings are not very accurate but hey its something)... https://timo93.blob.core.windows.net/images/ukpassats/WP_20170813_15_03_46_Rich.jpg however on the way back I heard a tump noise or like a ...

Bit of an update, haven't updated here for ages.... At the beginning of the year my thermostat stopped showing me the correct engine temp...so I thought I investigate! But found some pink liquid leaks the images speak for themselves: https://timo93.blob.core.windows.net/images/ukpassats/WhatsApp%20I...

Hi Klitoni,

How did you do the sweep needles??

I'm travelling to Bradford on the 10th of August

Hi Mate, Is your car an estate or saloon? I have bought a saris bones 3 which takes three bikes on the back. And have used it a couple of times on my trips to belgium and france with no issues. It's this one: https://www.evanscycles.com/saris-bones-3-bike-rack-00120850 However I am buying a roof rac...

I am...kinda DA1 (Dartford just below the bridge)

For the price, would be worth getting the other side done. Did you take out the grease of the old one and have a look for damage. The one I changed was clicking very badly but had no damage I could see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Haven't had a chance yet to look at the old one properly but ...

So, I have changed the driver side one last night...which was a bit of a pain to try and get it out without releasing any of the suspension arms... What I did was just popped the inner cv joint out of its place and rested it on the subframe and then raised the disc with a jack until the outer cv was...

Thanks guys, I think i'm going to order j&r then.

Timo

Thanks Gaz,

Are they reliable? If so they seem way too cheap?

Timo

Hi All, I'm looking to tackle replacing one of my driveshafts as I have a bad clunk sound when I pull away really fast or when breaking. It also happens when I'm at full lock and reverse. Changed all my suspension control arms lower and upper plus new shocks and springs... but the clunk is still the...
