My 4YO/23K GTI+ no GPF Regen yet?

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me, my 2020 GTI+ will be 4 years old next month, I have covered 23k with a mixture of driving, but up to now as far as I am aware not had a GPF regen?? Anyone else not had one yet?

I live in Ipswich over the East side, my 2020 GTI+ is Limestone grey. Give me a wave if you see me.

Re: Just bought a Polo GTI+ and have questions

There is a fix for the mooing noise, mine had it and they should fix it for free- there is a whole thread on it if you search. PS4s or Eagle F1s of equivalent will make a big difference to torque steer, Turanzas are a hard tyre good for durability tho.

Max torque on the dq250 is 400nm so looks like you blew it with the torque heavy map.

Re: Normal mode a big 'sluggish'

Pretty sure there is a power limiter up to 1000km. I had a 150bhp 1.5evo r line before this and the Polo is far quicker-as it should be with 50 more BHP. you just need to run it in more.

Re: Exhaust cam variator. Loose bolts. TPI?

Where is this exhaust cam variator? What are the symptoms? I recently had some TPI work done to supposedly cure a knocking noise around the rear suspension which hasnt worked and is getting louder.

Re: Intake kit options

The Ramair air one looks interesting, I was looking at the MST, it has great reviews for its Golf 7 application, think its about £240. Racingline one is nice but a bit pricey at around $600.

Re: Beats audio sounds system settings

As SRGTD said, it will be down to the type of music and personnal hearing ability. Rock music for example the bass will feel less prominent than a dance track. For me though, with wired carplay at basically max listening volume, i have gone with; Bass -8 Mid +1 Treble -1 Fade balance backward two n...
