Anyone have any experience with Hankook ventus S1 evo tyres?

Thanks. Good to know. Some nice winding roads around here. Just running the Bridgestones (polish) that it came with.

Well, I am finally passed the run in period of my 1.8 tsi, and starting to push things a lttle more .just wondering , with esp on, is there much warning to the back end going if I push to far. Have never driven a front wheel drive, or a car with esp before. Must admit, I am really enjoying it so far!

Thanks Laars

So if I just try my luck and buy a few dfferent ones locally, is there a generic spec for the bulb size , connection etc that I need to look for?

Get the MFSW, great bit of kit

Thanks for the links Laars. Too blue for my liking.

Should have mentioned, its a FL model, 2012.

Not sure if its already been covered, but looking to change the DRL bulbs in my 1.8 tsi to a whiter light if that makes sense. Not wanting to go down the LED path with its associated canbus/warning light issues. I am in new zealand so any of the NZ owners know of any bulbs I can purchase locally? Also, how tricky a job is it.

Interesting article. Thanks for the link. Am I right in understanding that the only way to get a higher performing engine will be by going the oil burner route?

God, you would have to hope its not the new interior. Looks like something I drove 20 years ago. A huge step back from the current Octy interior

?? They came as standard on the 2012 1.8 tsi I just bought

Have seen a new silver/grey one in hawkes bay a few times recently

Cheers for that

What was the postage simon? Did you use dhl or similar?

yep, thats what I meant.....and damn, thats a shame

Hmmm, anyone know if the same applies to the,118tsi, with dsg?

It came with all the airbags. I am guessing there is already as thread covering changing over the lights, will have a look.

An aston, and an atom

what should, or could I do I have just bought a new 118 tsi combi, not sure of the spec level as related to the UK as we only get offered the one spec here. But a lot of the options boxes seem to be ticked as standard. Black magic, sunset, dsg, paddles, factory sport suspension, 17 palas, front and rear parking, maxidot Not looking to map it under warranty, or harden the ride any more, keeping in mind my wife and kids have to put up with the end result too! Am very curious to know what you would do, mod wise, if at all.

Seems to be more participation here for kiwis than the NZ VAG site

Thanks for your help guys. I have the DSG gearbox so assume the same applies?

I think Skoda is doing quite well here, considering how small the NZ market is. Seeing a lot more on the roads.

I have just taken delivery of a new 118tsi. Sorry if it has been covered in another thread, but was just wondering about peoples thoughts on the best way to run in a new engine.

3 came with my 118tsi
