How good or bad is it ? Or in general - what is your experience with FEBI stuff ? TIA

Like DEL80Y said - you need to service Haldex - rear differential - clear the metal mesh and replace oil in the pump section.

So it's all theory for you? Because if proper remap was so superior - it should let car fly and have 100mpg - compared to mine?

Ok, I'll bite do you know anyone from Manchester who could show me the real difference between proper remap and my chip?

Only last sentence makes sense Can you finally move out from 90s and arrive in 21st century ? It's no longer a resistor or whatever was used to fool the ECU. Now it's a mini computer with a professionally made map on a rolling road - with a lot more options than remap - you can select from a few different curves - either more power or better economy - AT ANY POINT. 99.99% of daily drivers WON'T need professional remap - and by professional I agree with you - rolling road and fine-tuning - but this makes sense ONLY for people who regularly race on tracks. I've done 62k+ - NEVER EVER I've had any kind of problems related to my tunning box - in fact no problems at all, just regular servicing - and I really have a lead foot DSG gearbox is silky smooth, no problems with Haldex, on original 8 years old battery and starts instantly Good quality tunning box is the same as generic remap - but is A LOT safer for the engine. With bad remap, when person doing it doesn't know what he is doing, he can damage the engine by entering wrong data - by accident or on purpose, when disabling safety features. But with tunning box - all safety features are still in place so even if someone makes mistake or data get corrupted - ECU will protect the engine. And if it stops working - you can just unplug it and drive away - good luck with corrupted remap. And what is the REAL difference in how it works ? signal from sensor -> ECU reads data from new map and reacts signal from sensor -> box translates values (based on maps made on a rolling road) -> ECU reads shifted data from original maps and reacts The only difference is in at what point data from the map is used. Like I've said - 99.99% of the daily drivers won't even feel the difference in performance - but it would cost them a lot more money. And with 14 or 30 days money back guarantee - they can just test and return the box. It is also more convenient in case of write-off or changing the car - box can be removed and used in another car - can even be reprogrammed for a different engine.

Yes - I wouldn't ask if there was such option available

Anyone knows if there are different types available? I have rain sensor but windows don't close automatically 😞 and probably there would be few extra options i don't know about

2.0 170 4x4 and chip / remap it either for power or economy chipping gives you the option to switch between maps - remapping is one or the other. Remember to inform your insurance company.

I think 5 years / 80k miles?

Loose wire on the battery's studs? What kind of battery? Do you have Start / Stop?

Looks like seller doesn't know current MOT rules - YOU CAN'T DRIVE WITH FAILED MOT - even if the previous MOT still have few days left.

@TheRobinK AUD points to Australia

@Beddau Do you have separate value of the pressure for each wheel or only indication when something is wrong and icon to check the tyre? If the latter - the information about the pressure is guessed from the speed of the wheel - ABS sensor - andif it's too different to the other wheels for too long - system reports it as problem with the tyre. Sometimes it's false-positive - you need to stop the car, turn the ignition off for few seconds - so car will think that you've fixed the problem and then you can press the button to reset. If you get warning again - something is wrong.
