I will into that one as well thanks 👍🏻

Thanks all, so it seems like it would be a worthwhile improvement then, I will have to look into the different stages to figure out what would work best for me, but I am thinking for a standard car just drivability is what I am looking for

Would also be good to hear from anyone that's had any kind of dsg remap to find out 1. How much difference it makes 2. Exactly what you had changed

I have a 2.0 petrol 220 with the DQ250 6 speed dsg gearbox. I have read about the TVS gearbox remap and am interested I think in the "drivability" map. Has anyone had this done and did it make the car more pleasant to drive. I would like sport mode to be a little less aggressive and D mode to hold on to the gears just that little bit longer. Was wondering if anyone has had this map or something similar. This is for a standard car and probably not planning on any other modifications in the near future bar this.

That's the site I used, if they are not completely accurate it seems this is more hassle than it's worth, I'm just going to change the wheels round and wear them all down so I can replace all 4 at once 👍

I wouldn't mix types it was purely a question about if going to 245 tyres from 235 would they need to all be changed at the same time or could I do them two at a time without it effecting ACC ESP etc It will probably be safer for me to switch the current tyres round until they are all worn out at the same time and get four all together. That way I can buy 4 tyres in the slightly wider size without any of these issues. I just think the 245's will be slightly better in various ways so would like to change to this size. I think what I would like is the most summer bias all season tyres possible. I want to reduce the occasional wheelspin when pulling out of cold wet junctions etc and have a bit more grip over winter for increased Safety if that makes sense. Not bothered about on the limit dry/wet handling (it's a family estate) I just want to reduce wheelspin in poor conditions

They absolutely could go on the back and switch around that's just how they at the minute. It's not just to save a few pounds that's one of various positives 1. more grip as wider contact patch 2. Deeper sidewall so more comfortable 3. More readily available size (hence cheaper 4. More rim protection I am was looking at summer tyres in the above probably PS4 was topping the list. I have been considering some all season tyres for a while but would need to switch fronts to back so they all wear out at the same time first if I did this. My only concern with all season is there performance in the dry/wet in the summer months. If it's constantly going to be spinning up the front wheels during warmer wet days that doesn't sound good but I can't find any information on this so would be useful to have some real world experiences as to grip levels in the warmer months particularly in the wet

Currently have a 2.0 tsi 220 superb estate I need some new tyres on the front and currently have 235 45 R18 all round (pirell Cinturato P7). The rear tyres replaced last year so probably have about 4 years wear left. Now I am thinking of going with 245 45 R18 on the front and leaving the 235 45 r18 on the back. Is this possible? There is much more choice of 245's they are slightly cheaper, wider with more grip and have deeper sidewalls so probably more comfortable. The total circumference difference is only 1.3% with a 1mph difference in Speedo reading. Only possible issue I forsee is ACC issues possibly, has anyone actually done this and have they had any of these issues or did it all go well?

Thanks, did the throttle response mod work well out of interest? Not looking for anything major just an improvement on standard. I think it seems I will just have to learn how to do long coding. At least that way I can back up if it goes wrong.

Any insurance difference?

Having to worry about insurance every year if you change provider, seemed more straightforward to do it within the car but that doesn't seem to be the case. Plus I think an OBD reader would generally be useful. May just have to leave it as it is.

Thanks that's disappointing, it seemed like an easy win!

I had hoped that would be the safer way as it's tried and tested code. Only really want to change the throttle response mainly

OBDeleven.... I can't spell

I am looking at getting an Ondeleven as it seems easy to use, won't touch coding just one click apps. Other use for fault codes and battery health check etc What can I actually change on a 2.0TSI SEL a lot of things seem to need extra hardware. Does the A5 multifunction camera come as standard, I can't find a picture of what it actually looks like does anyone have a picture of the A5 camera? Also want to do the throttle response mod as that bugs me even in D mode, anyone done this on a 2.0 TSI 220 and does it make any difference. Would love to drive around in E mode so I get the cylinder deactivation but without the lethargic throttle response.
