Re: New full LED tail lights

I just got a set of Dectane Full LED tails lamps but they are in LHD. Without considering issues with MOT what could I do to make the white reverse light light up instead of the red fog lamps when I engage Reverse gear? VCDS? Wirings? Take the LED lamps apart? Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Re: New full LED tail lights

Cant we set some settings using VCDS so that we can use LHD LED tail lamps? So that fog lamps wont light up when engaging Reverse and fog lamps still works properly. Come MOT time just swap back and recode VCDS.

Re: new polo gti seats

The iconic tartan GTI seats on the Polo has better supports than the optional alcantara or heated seats

Big Brake Kit Compatibility

Thinking to upgrade to AP Racing 330x28mm brake kit for my PGTI and wonder if the SEAT Leon Mk2, Golf Mk4 or Audi TT Mk1 kit would fit directly or with a few washers?

Re: GTI Ordered! Any tips i.e. oil, plugs e.t.c?

After oil reach 88degrees, drive it hard till the redline in 1st to 4th gear and use engine braking by selecting the DSG M mode to slow down the car but keep the revs above 4000rpm. DO this daily! It will break in your engine properly and reduce oil burning. IF possible change oil at 1000km and agai...
