How do you get the auto locking feature to work dude?!

did mine with vag com mate

How do you do this? Need a computer or something lol?

[SteveP]

You need a computer and a special cable, have a look at the Ross Tech website.

Otherwise depending on where you are I am sure other members with the cable will be happy to help for beer tokens

Aghh I see would VW do it? Anyone in the east of England with this stuff haha?

[SteveP]

Well I am in Northamptonshire so probably not much help.

Welcome Steve - what a great surprise

Thanks John, when does yours land?

About 6 weeks time. It's just gone into the Container ship black hole.

Some will and some won't TBH, and most will charge.

What you gonna do with your old steering wheel?

I am only changing the buttons, for wheels that already have the paddles you only need to swap these bits over plus a small control module in the base of the wheel.

Hi Steve, What part numbers do you need for the multifunction buttons?

I will confirm once mine arrive later this week and have fitted them

Been a busy few weeks at home but finally got chance to get some upgrades on the new GTI.

First up was a trip to Revo HQ in Daventry for a stage 1 remap, this has been on a few weeks and I have been massively impressed with the performance increase and the drivability of the file. Combined with some new NGK BKR7EIX plugs to help prevent misfires.

Next up was a prototype/development ITG filter that was installed on Friday



Has made a noticeable difference and a surprising amount of induction noise for a closed filter  

Then off to KPM for a brew and some H&R Springs, went for the version with the extra drop (better pics to follow)







More parts are also on the way to sharpen up the handling some more

Its like deja vu seeing this thread steve

I do hate you GTI boys, your interior is so much nicer than my Fabia

[jonnymoore]

are they the H&R 35/55mm lowering springs?

[SteveP]

are they the H&R 35/55mm lowering springs?

Yep they sure are.

[jonnymoore]

thought so, cars looking really good i have a set sitting in my boot, but mines not a gti, but i hope they lower mine as much as yours.
