Re: 1.4 160 coolant capacity

Well since nobody seems to know or answer my question, I asked another guy who answered: 2.25 litres of g13 and 3.35 litres of water for a 40-60 mix or 2.8 litres of water and coolant for 50-50

1.4 160 coolant capacity

Hello, as the title says, does anyone know how many litres of coolant the twin charger has? I am thinking of doing a coolant flush this year and want to know how many 1.5 litre g13 bottles I have to buy.

Re: Going to buy new tyres... Suggestions?

I received an e-mail from camskill.uk that Michelin will make Pilot Super Sport sizes 225/40/18 XL and 235/40/18 XL from June/July... Let's hope they do that, my CSC2's have still some tread left

Re: Going to buy new tyres... Suggestions?

Aside from different brands, should I stay with the 235/40/18, or go with the 225/40/18? As you probably know, Interlagos wheels have rim width of 8 inches,to which according to tyre manufacturers, 225 width tyres suit better, while 235 fits just. With what tyre should I have the better handling? Al...

Re: Going to buy new tyres... Suggestions?

I was also thinking Goodyear, looks great all round with emphasis on treadlife... What do you think about extreme performance tyres, or even semi slicks? Toyo r1r and many other tyres do seem to have more dry grip, what about their life?

Going to buy new tyres... Suggestions?

Hi, I am almost done with the factory fitted Continental Sport Contact2 fitted, and I found them awful. They lost their initial grip very soon, and wet traction is as bad as it gets... Looking for a replacement tyre, with good, presice handling and high grip as my priorities. I do spirited driving e...

Re: How much Power/Torque can DSG handle ?

I have got Revo Stage 2 with 100 RON on my 1.4 DSG rocco. Around 235 hp, and there are no problems whatsoever. I think that torque is slightly less (300NM) compared to manual cars, but the torque limiter of DSG does not intervene. The chiptuning map is written that way, so it doesn't trigger any sor...

Re: 2010 Cruise Control

VW has these new kits instock ready to go but they arent releasing them until they have done technical checks on uk cars,i expect they will be available pretty soon.

Re: 2010 Cruise Control

Today I ran etka 7.3 update 870, and in the genuine accessories-cruise control system there is one with the code 5K0 054 691 A. By clicking it i do not see any remarks for which steering wheel controller unit it is intended for. Moreover, the price shown is 85,19 euros (maybe 85,19 pounds) :? . Does...

Do you need another controller as ...
