eBay downpipe and sports cat

http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/272062352330" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Does anyone know if this will fit a scirocco 2.0tsi and onto a std cat back exhaust?

Has anyone bought one of these before?

Cheers guys

Re: My awesome black 2.0tsi

Still get the noise now and again. Pretty sure it's down to the intake. Other than that I love the noises I get from the intake.

Re: My awesome black 2.0tsi

I did some research on this today and I hope I'm wrong but this noise Seems to be common with clutch issues. Sent from my phone I had a look at a gti6 forum and found a very similar topic and a few people had it. They seamed to think it was down to the intake harmonics or something like that. Sent ...

Re: My awesome black 2.0tsi

Yeah it does resemble a 4x4 at the moment with those arch gaps.

No one any ideas about that noise when accelerating? Going to double check all joints on the intake are tight and sealed but can't think of what else it might be.

Almost sounds like an electronic noise rather than mechanical.

Re: My awesome black 2.0tsi

Since the AMD remap I get a weird high pitched noise when accelerating at full throttle. No idea what it is. Has anyone else had it. A quick vid from phone below you should just be able to hear it. http://youtu.be/k1Mnl1sKF1M And below another quick vid of the noise and the intake noise. http://yout...

Re: My awesome black 2.0tsi

So I am back from AMD Essex after having a stage 1 on my 2.0 tsi. Whole process took 3 hours from drop off to pick up. Car was dyno'd prior to the map being loaded. Car just had a Evoms intake and came up with 216bhp so not too bad. Once the map was loaded it ran 247bhp which I was told should go up...

Re: My awesome black 2.0tsi

Is this induction? Its sucking hot air out of the engine bay or is it not completed on the pictures? Nice car btw! It's not a sealed intake no. It's gets a cold air feed from the std tubing as below http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/12/64c50c05b3c598bf49475d97f112f352.jpg Sent from my iPad using...

My awesome black 2.0tsi

Hi guys I bought the car a couple months ago, trading in my old Mini Cooper s which I did love but fancied something a bit more grown up I suppose. The mini always felt like a bit of a toy. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/11/9c1678d453ec2d7bb6f4fb37a35f85e4.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15...

Re: Manual or DSG?

Had the car (DSG) a week now and loving it. Use manual mode pretty much all the time unless in traffic.

Only small annoyances with it changing down gears sometimes before I expect it to or milliseconds before I hit down myself.

Re: Manual or DSG?

Ok thanks guys. No one regretted getting DSG then

If looking at a car with around 30k-35k would you recomed getting the dealer to do a DSG service on it before buying.

RCD510 - DAB

Hi Guys,

First post. I am currently looking at buying a 2.0 tsi and was wondering when did the RCd510 start having a DAB radio?

Thanks
