Re: Revo v APR Stage 1

Keep in mind the revo prices are ex VAT whereas APR are including vat, I'm with APR stage 1 and loving it!

After VAT they are the same price for the standard map but with APR's 20% sale at the minute APR is cheaper.

Re: Weird 2.0 TSI engine noise

It seems to be a bit intermittent, only seems to do it while parked up revving up-to 1.5k any slower no noise, any faster disappears into normal engine noise. These engines are so tickety, its ...

Re: Headlightretrofits word of warning

No they are my original OEM headlights which I paid a known company £400 to fit projectors.

They did a great job just didn't seal them up again very well!

Hi guys, Just a warning, from not long after getting the headlights I started to get condensation on them both which is driving me nuts, I have just got round to investigation why and found the silicon they have used seems to be absorbing the water and has become a slimy mess. Don't get me wrong I l...

My trip says I'm getting around 36 average seems to think ill do 400 to a tank when I fill but I get 330 before my light comes on topping up about 45 liters which calculates at 33.3mpg average.

I do drive with a bit of spirit and an APR stage 1 though :P
