February 12, 20178 yr Author Get your self a stage 1 map as they like to call it 😂 That one got the pd seriese engine in ? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
February 12, 20178 yr Author No idea my mate has an earlier one which has the pd in it, sounds like a tractor, like most vag engines imo 😂 Big gains from a cheap flash map, just induced a whole load of other problems like weak brakes and a clutch that now slips [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
February 12, 20178 yr All I can tell you is it's a 1.6 tdi with 102 ps 250flbs as standard . Strangely enough I might have already stumbled across the "flash " map [emoji6] I'd never considered modding my work van and wouldn't normally consider a genric map ....... but I will admit for a £400 flash map you get 140 hp 310 flbs , so I won't say that I'll never get it done on the dirty derv dub [emoji39]
February 12, 20178 yr I like the colour Yeah it's better than white or silver and my vdub bud has already offered me a set of freshly painted 19's for peanuts to fill the arches lol
February 12, 20178 yr 400 for a flash map!! Costs me a 8th of that for flash maps Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
February 12, 20178 yr Author Must be down south mate 😂 150 ish seems to be the going rate here Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
February 12, 20178 yr Yeah about 150 here mate , I got a mate that can do it my skoda was a 62 that was a common rail lump

February 12, 20178 yr 400 for a flash map!! Costs me a 8th of that for flash maps Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk I haven't shopped about for prices that's just a figure I saw . Tbh after £6k on a van to chuck plaster in the back I think I'd be sleeping in it if I spent anymore cash for a while [emoji23]
February 13, 20178 yr Fitted a pair of twisted side skirts this afternoon followed by a set of carbon canards in the dark which I measured up the mount points for during the day, operation success followed by a few service parts tomorrow and ordering a new cobra sport exhaust for my birthday next week Will get some better pictures during the day once it's had a clean
February 13, 20178 yr Bought one of these today, DBPOWER 600A Peak 18000mAh, jump starter from Amazon, cuz... I killed her yesterday by leaving the internal light on... For around 30 hours! 😕 Wasn't fun when the alarm went off just before midnight, weird really, everything dead but the alarm. Had a good side tho, jumped her with my wife's Fiesta, then hit the open and empty roads for some recharging fun. 😊😊😊 But it did make me think, we drive to Europe most years and it'd be good to have something to fall back on. We've got the normal breakdown and first aid stuff, but I recon this is a good addition. Anyone have any experience with these things?
February 14, 20178 yr Those jump starter things are brilliant we have them at work for starting vans and pick ups, i'm positive its witchcraft how can something so small start an engine? lol 😃 they also charge phones etc so very handy to have 👍👍
February 14, 20178 yr @Pixyflash everyone should have one! I'd be lost without mine, such a simple and relatively cheap thing can make life so much easier. A good purchase 👍
February 14, 20178 yr @david1972 have a look on amazon mate there's loads of them on there with a wide range of prices

February 14, 20178 yr Yeah anywhere between £40 and £70 bud and i suppose its like anything else you get what you pay for, can't remember off the top of my head what make we have at work but its a great wee thing will easily start 3ltr diesel engines from dead flat and its about the size of an old video tape, remember them those were the days haha

Up the Irons!
February 15, 20178 yr Got one of four windscreen washer jets not working at 100% and also a little bit of dampness in the boot, drivers side back corner. Minor jobs for the weekend to investigate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
February 15, 20178 yr Washer jets on drivers side of mine are quite poor I was thinking of replacing the pump on the water bottle I'll see what works for you bud 😂😂👍👍
February 15, 20178 yr Ordered a 3" bore Cobra exhaust with a 4" tip from reading good feedback about them and already got a 3" bore de-cat down pipe that will match up with it but still need to order either cobras 200cell cat downpipe or a 100cell cat downpipe from japspeed for mot as currently got the original exhaust system on with an aftermarket backbox welded on but been thrown an engine code recently 'catalyst efficiency below threshold' so either one of the sensors is dead or the cat is - either way I had a new exhaust on the cards for the summer anyway.
