    Replacing airbag module after a crash

    Will a new one need coded (VAG COM?) or should it just plug in and work ok? I also assume a used one will work somehow? Thanks.

    AGU Single coil conversion?

    As we all know, the ignition system on these things is utter scrap. A mate mentioned doing a single coil conversion from a Vauxhall Cavalier/Vectra 2.0 16v engine (X20XEV). Does anyone have any info regarding this? Many thanks

    Handling - Recommendations to make my car driveable??

    The way my car sits at the moment means i cant drive it properly fast, as the main thing is the ride height is just far too low. Im torn between either handling or looks. Is there a good combination of both? Basically, whats the best wheel/tyre size combo and also suspension setup? I want to...

    Fitted gauge for gauging all my boosts.

    Mr Postman delivered my present to myself today so I set about fitting it. Wired up the lamp in it so it illuminates at the same time as the clocks. It lit up yellow which I didn't like so painted the bulb red and now fits in better. I need to get a piece of trim to go around the gauge...

    Can I push my K03 any further?

    I have an AGU with a remap, Apexi CAI, decat, and full Scorpion system. Is it worth spending any more money on stuff while i still have this turbo? FMIC? N/A Cams? N75J/H? Cheers all!

    Boredom + grinder + welder = .......................

    It was my weekend off so me and a mte set about constructing something as awesome as we could.... I collected my old BMX (after removing the bonnet that my mates welded to it in the snow) and chopped it in half. I then got an old Honda Melody Mini Moped which i had previously made into a...

    Terrible missfire 1.8T AGU

    Last week i had a coil go, so replaced it. Problem cured. A few days later i had the same symptoms, so sourced and fitted another. Problem still exists. I get a bad misfire all the way from 1500rpm to 5000 under full throttle, accompanied by popping and banging from the exhaust. If i...

    How fast have you had your 1.8T?

    If this becomes a thread of bragging, so be it. What speed have you piloted your 1.8T up to? The reason i ask is i hit just over an 'indicated' 150mph last night. (Remapped AGU with full Scorpion exhaust and decat)

    How my car looks these days

    I binned my 19" RS6's as they were just toooo big, and after a couple of months I stumbled across these going cheapish on eBay and they were local too. Fired some new rubber on and fitted them. I like the look! What do you think?

    ABS goes daft at low speed?

    Ever since ive owned my car, the ABS has gone daft when pulling away from a standstill and when travelling <5mph. Very strange and annoying. Any ideas? (Small amount of research reveals dirty sensors could be at fault - Is this a possibility?) Cheers.

    VAG COM logs after fitting Decat and 2.3/4 inch Scorpion system - 199.3bhp

    Did a VAG COM log last week which resulted in 194bhp. Today i fitted a 3" downpipe and decat, mated to a Scorpion full system off a Golf IV GTi T and made 199.3bhp according to VAG COM. Not a bad gain for £100!

    Benefits of Forge diverter valve?

    Im just wondering what the actual benefits are of fitting a Forge or similar diverter valve? I have a new OEM one from a Saab Turbo that works well and im curious as to how much better a branded alloy one is? Cheers!

    VCDS log - Take a look?

    Did a MAF log and ive also added a sum to calc BHP (MAF reading divided by 0.8 if i am correct?) Car is an A3 AGU engine. Remap and CAI. I think its slightly more than it should be? (Going on if my calculations are correct anyway lol) How does this look?
