Well it's goodbye trusty 65 plate Tdi and hello nearly new 17 plate Tsi with black pack, winter pack,and extreme alloys. Not doing 40 miles a day to and from work so I though I'd like a bit more bhp. Oddly new insurance starts next week and I've got a £25 refund due to the swap? Don't suppose I'll be getting 52 driving briskly like what I did. Not as harsh a ride as I expected. Lovin it so far

Is it possible to change the angle of the jet - mine comes out too low on the rear screen
-
Ok - if i go to 5th at 30mph - the car speeds up slightly, fuel consumption drops it's fine in 4th but rpm at 1000 if rpm were around 800 at idle it would be fine
-
What should the at rest tickover be - mine's at 1000 rpm and if in 5th it starts to run away a little?

Tomorrow ! 2.0 TDI vRS hatch, manual, metallic quartz grey, anthracite 18" alloys, 16 on a 15 plate -
Since 1973, when I started owning cars - when there is frost on the screen I fill a large jug with lukewarm water and dribble it down the windows - don't throw it on never had a cracked screen remove snow first with soft brush I have had a rubber scraper that must have had a bit of grit embedded - scratched screen - luckily the Insignia is being pxd tomorrow for a 2016 15 plate vRS hatch tomorrow

Thanks - criteria for replacement were Not as big as Insignia Bigger than an Astra More hp and torques than the Insignia Loads of room in the boot - As I partake in compound archery and my bow in its bow bag is rather large SatNav Ironically - after looking for an auto estate, I ended up with the hatch manual and I can't believe I got what I wanted PX on the trade too . . .
