Ok so i am seriously considering a remap on my 1.8T can anyone suggest a decent and reputable company to remap please? SCA have apparently sold their rolling road, Clive Atthowe was going to be my next choice, anybody else recommend anyone/where? ive also read about replacement coil packs - already...

I tried something similar with Shell V power vs Tesco super unleaded 99 and over the same fuel amount the tesco fuel came off worse, I also tried it towing my caravan - 21.9mpg with the caravan (Tesco 99 unleaded) 24.3 mpg (shell v power). i dont go out of my way to buy it so will continue with the ...

Saw a test of this type of product including the one listed on the gadget show, test car was a new Insignia 2.0 cdti and all of them made the car less economical than standard

156100 - B5 1.8 T (R plate)

If it had a serial number I would think there might be an issue. I don't agree that the plate is usually rivetted, we have an Eldiss van, Is it something like a Hurricane or Typhoon you are looking at. I think ours may be screwed on but I am not 100% sure. Ours is Cris registered which is something...

Oh thanks for that guys, I'll certainly check that out. Yeah the car is sluggish as hell around the doors, power only coming on tap like I say at 3.5-4k revs, pta to be honest!!! I had a similar issue with mine, turns out I had a split in my N75 valve, so I had a new N75, replaced turbo hoses as so...

For last year I been using Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 but found the engine was noisey top end and it would use more oil so ocaisional top ups needed, I have just switched to Shell Helix 5w-40 Fully synthetic and so far its the quietist the motors ever been. MPG still up in the 30's! Just had a full service ...

Normally a clutch would not be covered under warranty however it should stipulate within the warranty document what is and isn't covered. We had numerous issues with Seat and their warranty when my wife purchased her Ibiza. Unfortunately fella warranty is a bit of a minefield. If within the warranty...

I have the same thing, originally thought it was my damper but turns out to be my bottom ball joints which are both being changed tomorrow. Might be worth a look yourself

MK2 were the 1.8 8v and 1.8 16v thought the very last run out may of had the 2.0??? but pretty certain 99% were 1.8 8v & 16v

friends of mine have an a6 2.5 tdi, its a 1998 and it has done 199k, used for the daily work commute and 400 mile round trip to nottingham each month (daughter @ uni), airport trips etc ... it gets loaded up and gets looked after mechanically. Does 45mpg minimum, original clutch, original turbo, app...

I used to do that aswell! Been a few years since I did though but I am almost certain it was a different red ex to the injector cleaner which you used to drop down the bores? I maybe wrong like I say it was a fair few years and dozens of cars ago.

Interesting though

I've concluded that mpg isn't better on this stuff :( my gauge is dropping at an alarmingly fast rate and I haven't even been giving it the beans anywhere, just cruising I'm getting the same mileage so no improvement there! However on first start up in the morning the car seems to pull a lot better...

I have a B5 1.8T. I just filled up on this twice whilst on holiday. I always use Super unleaded but I agree my car seemed to drive better. I used it on my way home yesterday towing my caravan 118miles and I got 25.5mpg (sitting at a consistent 60mph) but 6 days before I was using normal Super unlead...

Good work!! Fancy doing mine next now you have perfected the process lol

I bet you like all the headrest the same height as well, dont ya, dont ya!! Yaha!! You got it! B) Dont try to make out you're not the same!! I bet you're Mr Uber anal OCD pmsl. This makes me chuckle as I am exactly the same! I like my seats the same and my headrests the same height, both the back n...

Lovely thanks

sorry, i thought you meant if people are wheel spinning and driving aggressive. Not at all mate and no offence taken, end of the day we are all here to try and help one another! Im doing something similar in another thread within the B5/5.5 section regarding headlight bulbs without going down the H...

i don't do boy racering. Would they not be good for general use? Didnt suggest you did and neither do I. lighting them up is a phrase I use for tyres that offer less traction than a different tyre I have used, its also plausible that the guy in the reviews isnt a boy racer either but hey? With havi...

Can anyone confirm for certain correct bulbs for a B5 please

thanks

My mate who has his own tyre company isnt a fan of Falken to be honest, I put 4 on a Mk2 golf gti a few yearsd ago (granted not the same model as these) and I would light them up very easily. Havent had them since, broached the subject with my friend re- Falken when I went to change tyres on a previ...

I had those ER300 on my B4 and thought they were awful,noisy and wore very poorly,I replaced them with Hankook Ventus Prime 2's and it transformed the car,much quieter running and a lot better grip in both the wet and dry. Currently on my B5 1.8t I run Uniroyal Rain Expert and these seem to be very...

Well there seems to be nothing but a blank list on your attachment however I have a B5 1.8T and I personally have bridgestone turanza er300 all round and they are superb in wet and dry, quiet and good mileage! Just put Hankook Ventus V12 on my wifes Ibiza Sport to replace the Pirelli P Zero Nero whi...
