Re: stage 2 and DSG torque limiter

My advise would be to have the DSG mapped as well. Not for any other reason than driveability. DSG maps won't make the box any more reliable, but what's the point in splashing all that cash at Stage 2 remap and hardware to not have the DSG performing optimally.

Beware of my old R

I must admit I wouldn't have thought changing the fluid would have caused it but I would have expected the garage to offer better customer service than that. Thanks for the reply. Will get them stripped down shortly an...

Scirocco Rear Brake Binding

Good evening all I have a question and a groan. I had my Roc TSI in for its 4th service today at Barnetts in Dundee. Part of the service was replacing the brake fluid. Anyway I picked it up this afternoon and the rear brakes are now binding. Not by much but noticeable and the rear discs do get hot n...
