Mine can set off with a slight jerk (I think it's if you let off the brake pedal quite quickly (it grabs the clutch to stop it rolling back or something to that effect) If I release the brake pedal more slowly it picks the clutch up smoothly although having thought to myself, the clutch...

I've got a spare mechatronics lol? I'm intrigued ... does the syvecs over-rule the shift patterns etc in the mechatronics and simply give the valve block commands and use the factory programming for it to perform as required to achieve? In other news though, I've bought an AWD rear subframe -...

I've noticed it likes to stay in 2nd gear until almost a complete stop on mine and short shifts first even in sport mode! but mines a standard map Glad you're pleased with yours Alex

That sounds good then! It sounds like they change the shift patterns etc too then - I got told GIAC can do a full custom gearbox map but it was expensive and I'm not sure that it would be anything like the level that the TVS is unfortunately for them!

That looks to be a really good map "factory+" if you like haha! The problem is that most people in the UK for example, except for the few seemingly it seems don't know the difference between "a DSG map" and "a DSG map" and think that they are all equal which is simply not true! Out of interest...

Thanks Bobby!

Thanks for the reply Bobby, it's very helpful to know when people have flashing tools! Are you able to confirm features and functionality with regards the flashing of dsg mechatronics? Thanks Alex

I've heard of frieling group but not looked at the tools TBH! Thanks Alex

Cool! Off the top of my head theres: Kess V2 - wont do DQ500 if I understand correctly but should be able to R+W DQ250 over OBD Byteshooter Magicmotorsport tool X17 Thanks Alex

Hello everybody, Decided to post a separate thread for info regarding the above topic rather than clutter my dq500 dsg gearbox swap thread! I'll post a follow up when I'm back on the laptop Thanks Alex

I think the whistling is actually the turbo - from hearing a milltek though I'd say it was more like darth vaders breathing :P

LOL, you have a very valid point however it depends on peoples intended application also there are "hybrid turbos" and "hybrid turbos" some of them are (to be blunt) crap! however some such as the tte and loba seem to be excellent and very well matched to the tfsi airflow and displacement though...

Hello, I looked to see what the maximum torque the AXX would take and the 440ib/ft? came up for the BHZ but does anybody know how the CDL and BHZ compare, is the CDL similar to the TSI engines as they seem to take more torque still as standard than the BHZ and will take big turbos or is it less...

Hi Alex, when you say the bearing shells do you mean the crankshaft bearings with presumably such as the calico bearings? A mechanic mentioned doing the crank bearings while I had everything off but I didn't fancy setting the crank end float and I also don't have any feeler gauges - some...

Pretty sure you can get them from the U.S cheaper still on the bay of E! a friend used one on his B7, worked alright and ran about 275ish while he had it fitted. Similar to look at as you linked but from memory it was the same bore the full length of it.... here's a link/shortcut to what I mean...

Hello, I've had a CDL bottom end (pistons and rods) sat a while now before taking the plunge in my AXX. Couple of questions really, I've done plenty of oily engine part bits so I don't really have a problem doing it all but there are a couple of rods off/pistons out specific questions...

which K04 is it? the one integrated into the manifold or separate turbo and manifold? also what car is it to fit on as e.g the 8P A3 with the K04-064 - you can just google all the parts required If yours is the 2.0tfsi swap then the parts are shown on here...

In reply to my own question but might be interesting for others... You can run the S3 injectors without mapping for them before fitting the turbo but run at your own risk :) P.s allow for two days doing in the intake manifold and then you can do it leisurely with cups of suitably warm drinks to...

I like the idea of the magazine but I'm put off the fact they say they're only aiming for basically S/RS models or retro... I don't have either of those and I'd like to see articles on non S/RS models too?

Hello, I'll be fitting the K04 to my AXX A3 when the weather is a bit better/warmer but am I able to drive the car up/down ramps if I swap over the injectors first? is it able to partially adapt to running the injectors even if it overfuels a bit? It's got stage 3 K03 supporting mods and its...
