I had no 068 and i wish i still had it, excellent car and wish i'd kept it. good luck on the sale!!!

My mk1 vRS WRC, mk2 vRS and mk2 FL vRS have all had Cold Air induction kits on them and none of them have sounded throaty (air sucked directly into turbo so you dont get as much engine noise) like my previous NA cars however what you you do get is more Turbo noise and and audible woosh as the recirc valve recirculates the air. Not as loud as a Dump Valve but still noticeable.
All 3 have actually sounded like Daerth Vader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! which i actually love but defo not throaty.

dashboard read 33, and i worked it out mathematically to 33-34 mpg
If your doing 33 on a long run i would suggest thats not right, as above on long runs most people above are getting 38 - 41. hmmmmmm
-
Was this on your dashboard or worked out with maths etc??
On my dash on my pre FL vRS TFSI, i used to get 40-42 on a long run and 30-35 around town (obviously i was driving sensibly , cruise @ 70 etc)
On my current FL vRS TSI i can get 40-44 on a run and mainly about 32-35 around town.
But remember the dash is inaccurate compared to properly working out the figures

What are you looking for? as they are recirculating valves! are you actually looking to get the blow of sound/TSSSHHHHHHH.
If so you will need the blow off spacer which is relatively cheap from Forge and it bolts to the OEM valve think they are about 40-50 quid. If your not looking for the sound and just want to replace a broken/faulty OEM valve then get an OEM one, just the latest revision!
Other members might know of different makes. I had the Forge Valve and spacer on my previous TFSI and loved the sound as i'm a child like that however its not to everyones taste lol

Most of the company's that are spoken about on here are all pretty damn good but you will find it very hard to beat the customer service you get from Ben and his team at Shark Performance!!!

My 10 plate FL vRS doesnt do this when driving using normal throttle, however it does when I am using cruise and i go down a hill, you can feel slight braking to maintain the cruise speed.

I loved it on my TFSI, I just havent got round to fitting it to my TSI. It's a real marmite mod you either love it or hate it.
If you get excited by that specific noise as a car goes past and have to look to see what it is then you'll probably love it however, if you hear that noise in the street and think "****" then its probably not for you lol.
I had a Forge on my WRC that you could hear through the Carbonio intake and it was mega loud and had old granny's duckin for cover then i had the spacer on my Pre-FL and i have to say i love the sound. If that makes me a "****" then so be it, life is short and it makes me happy lol
-
If its an actual whiring/droning noise then i would bet on 1 of your wheel bearings going!!

Any joy Ben?

Ben,
I can't seem to find the downloadable software on your new website. I now have a FL vRS so need the most recent software as it currently doesn't show my engine etc.
Also is the software Mac compatible?
Thanks in advance.

Autocar magazines website has some pics of the new vRS going round the ring if anyone is interested
:-)

I have seen , although cant remember who, that they had the fogs contained within the headlamp cluster, perhaps this is what they will do with this.
My MK1 vRS WRC had the foglights in the main headlight cluster along with the xenons and full beam. Maybe they will do that again!!

MOT Mannie,
Make sure those current theiving scumbags in Aberdeen don't fekin nick it lol, i still have love for 68 :-), they seem to be nicking performance cars, told my Dad he needs to be carefull with his White FL vRS. A Friend in Northfield told me a White Octavia had been nicked, so i'm glad to see your pics on here.

Heres an official blah
Daytime running lights (sometimes referred to as DRLs or daylight running lamps) are low-wattage bulbs that are fitted to a car to improve visibility during daylight hours. As of 7th February 2011* DRLs have become a mandatory fitting to all new type approved passenger vehicles (except trailers).
DRLs must switch on with the vehicle ignition and switch off when the vehicle sidelights are switched on. They can also be made to function as front position (side) lights, which operate at a reduced intensity when the vehicle sidelights are switched on.

Yeh I spotted that, need to figure out the build date of my dads motor to try and work out what revision is already on, I can't remember what plate my dads is, think it might be a 10 or 60
-
That's quite interesting as I have seen many a motor with normal lights on and as far as I can see full brightness DLRs but they are other lesser car manufacturers lol I will have have to have a proper look next time I'm out.
This was a question I was going to ask when I get my FL next year, I just think it looks rubbish when the are dimmed, and I wouldn't say they are remotely startling or blinding on full, xenons are a lot brighter IMO but I've been know to be wrong lol, oh well
-
Thanks Rob, I'm just a bit touchy about the engine after the previous issue with my Yellow vRS, however I know hat to listen for so if go forbid I ever hear that rattle it will just get RAC'd to the nearest VAG trained garage lol

Any answers ladies and gents ?? :-(

After a bad experience with a VW dealer and a manufacturing fault with a camshaft on my previous MKII vRS, the VW garage replaced the car with a money equivelant (a Ford Mundane'oh).
Thankfully It looks like i'll be getting my Dad's FL vRS next year and i can get rid of the diesel Mondy.
Do any of you know what bits can be put on the FL TSI from the TFSI?? as i have a few things in my shed that i only had on my old car for about 2000 miles.
I have:
Milltek D/P with Sport cat and cat back non resonated tail section
Weitec Ultra GT Suspension kit
BSH True Seal Intake
Forge Valve and blow off spacer
Neuspeed Hi-Flow Intercooler Pipe Coversion
PCV Revamp Kit
Shark Performance STS (Stage 1,2 and 3 maps on my pc)
Also does anyone know the percentage of owners that have had the camchain tensioner issues on the TSI as this worries me a bit after my last vRS blowing up!!!!!!!!!
maybe i should get a MKI again as i never had any issues with the WRC
Thanks in advance

All PMs replied too. Does anybody know a way to get my pictures on the forum as they are far to big. Can you still use something like photobucket etc?????

Long story short, I bought the car from my Dad, added all my mods, got VW to do a cambelt etc etc then VW blew my car up after i had owned it for only 2 weeks. I now have a number of modding parts available most having only done 3-4000 miles whilst VW were trying to rectify what they had done.
Wietec Ultra GT suspension kit (fixed rate shox and springs, for those who dont want to go as extreme as coilovers. I was very impressed with these) £330.00
Milltek non resonated turbo back and sport cat full system (I bought it with 1 of the front hangers missing, this doesn't effect the hanging of the exhaust. Ben from Shark Performance will vouch for that as it was his from his old black demo vRS AWESOME SOUND!!!!!!!!) £510.00
BSH True Seal Intake with heat sheild (could do with a new filter) £120.00
Neuspeed Turbo Intake Pipe £75.00
BSH PCV Revamp kit £25.00
Forge Valve and new servicing kit including an uprated yellow spring £70.00
Forge Blow off spacer £30.00
Poly bush lower engine mount bush (never fitted) £7.00
Shark STS unit ( I also have a couple of maps but dont know if they are able to be sold and used on other cars) £100.00
Postage!! If you want to buy it then I will get a price calculated for you.
If you are interested then send me a pm with your email and i will forward pictures on to you :-) most things i will be able to send by post easily, the suspension and exhaust are obviously heavy so might take a bit more effort. I have PAYPAL
If no one wants them the they will be going on Fleabay lol.

Thanks
