  1. Don't get hid, 99.9% your lighting module will fry
  2. That happened to me once. Cleared codes and back to normal.
  3. Lately been using the gps and getting annoyed with the fact that the street names, bigger ones, stay fixed on maxidot, it doesn't run across the screen. (The Columbus itself should display on top the name of the street your are on.) Is this normal
  4. I changed mine myself and the only thing I did was erasing all the errors. No adaptation no nothing
  5. I changed mine, 1.6tdi, only 5 minute job. Cleared errors with vagcom/vcds If car starts doing a regeneration you will be fine
  6. Can you explain further on what you mean "Tyres as they are not all the same make"
  7. When the original pads wore out I put in Bosch ones. Few km back changed the disks and pads for EBC Personally Bosch pads are better. It breaks better specialty on first break
  8. Tires and road condition. I daily drive on a road where on certain patches it makes that wining noise,

    Hi everyone My parents have been looking at a 1.2tsi with only 40000km Last 2 years its only done a few kms. It's from a private lady, no licence to drive and her husband has passed away 2 Years ago. Anything to look for Timing chain, turbo, etc Thanks It also has panoramic roof but no xenon Everything else on it basically. Front and rear sensor 17" Amudson gps Tinted glass Climatronic 3 spoke steering wheel with dials Bluetooth Others
  10. Yes injector failures. Usually common on owners who hear loud clack, clack noise at very low rpm. Some also have irregular rpm on idle, my not be noticeable on needle but you can feel it at steering wheel and the engine noise is also varies. Try this to test Handbreak 1° gear and do like if trying to start uphill. Except only tap the accelerator slightly and donnot take foot of clutch completely.
  11. Remapped 1.6tdi will be much better in certain conditions but will not be equal to the 2.0tdi with the same hp. From what I know it's more effective, or more noticeable on the DSG7 than manual 5speed. To compare I tested out on fifth gear from 110-180km/h and takes off 10 seconds. Noticeable power at lower rpm and mid range rpm due to the higher torque. On bench mine reached 114hp and 275nm torque. Friends did 93hp and 235nm. All for fuel economy
  12. Wires It happened to me It's a wire broken near plug on body. Mine was a yellow wire.
  13. Not recall for injector change but yes on software. Very common on 1.6tdi early models
