VTEye Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Grrrrr so angry!! Got up early drove 20 miles dropped the car off, mechanic rings me at 3.30pm, 'wont have time to do it today'Why are mechanics so bloody unreliable? Ok hes cheap at £25 but I throw the bloke loads of work and ive had this booked up for two weeks, so annoyingGoing to book it into garage now, probably cost £100 more but least it will get done and Ill get a loan carChange of subject..anyone ever used a tuning box, revo remap £350 spoke to a bloke today with a 2008 golf tdi swears by his, only 20bhp increase but only £80 i had a Passat TDi 115bhp PD engine with a tuning box and it easy beat my mates A4 TDi 130 and was dead even with another mates A4 Qauttro TDi 130 which had a proper remap and was 172 bhp but obviously 4 wheel drive and had a bit more transmission drag. To be honest though cheap tuning boxes are a bit crude, its just basically a resistor which fools the ECU into thinking the car is cold and pumps more fuel in, my passat used to pump black smoke out the exhaust when i booted it with the tuning box fitted!.

jamestopdog Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Yeah Garry after speaking to a few people I think ill save for a proper remap... Next job after the wheels.. Two new tyres arriving tues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestopdog Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Ok couldnt wait for the tyres to come so got the wheels on, poke out a fair bit more as these are et32 and old one et42, but still just in the arch (weird when you can see the rear wheel rolling in your mirror though!)Nice side view, rolling radius actually not that different which is a bit annoying as doesent fill the arch more, but then again 40mm lowering springs will sort most of that. Old tyres 205/55/16 these 215/45/17, lower profile but still plenty of meat to absorb the bumps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
