Getting 12 years younger!

Hey guys. I am new to the Forum. I currently own a 2003 Jetta TDI that has 390 000 kms. I have had it for a while but I'll be happy to let it go as I am changing it for a 2015 Jetta TDI! Only 64000 kms on the clock for that one. I should be picking it up in the next couple of days! (Pictures to come)

Engine is still under warranty until august next year but I don't know if I'll wait that long to do some tuning on it

In the spring I'll be getting a new set of wheels for it, as I have 15 inch original alloys right now.

some mods I am looking into are the EGR delete, DSG tranny tune and a stage 2 ecu flash (Malone)

I am not looking into making it a ricer but just to get the extra pep and giddy up!

Welcome to the forum. I am pretty new here myself. I didn't realize the 2015's came with 15 inch rims. I thought 16 inch was standard other than the Highline 17 inch wheels.

Either way I am sure you will love it. Have fun tuning!

15s is what’s on it right now. I assume they are original but who knows what the previous owner did ��*

I don’t mind tho for the winter I’d rather have more narrow tires it cuts through the snow better and therefore give more traction

I’ll buy 17x7.5 In the spring with 225/45R17 tires so that’ll be a little better looking haha

Wish I could get 12 years younger

Welcome to the group! dsg + ECU software will definitely liven things up a fair bit

I will most likely do that but I have no choice but to get the EGR delete from rawteck first ?

Dealer called me today and confirmed delivery for Friday at 11 AM

I will post pictures of the car I’m letting go and what I’m replacing it with

out with the old, in with the new

You were right. They are 16 inch.

You have a plug socket down beside the driver fog lamp. Did you check that the special electrical cord was included with the car??? That's for the "block heater" and it is great to have for those -25C (and colder) mornings!

Yeah dude don’t worry I made sure I had the cable with it!! This way I won’t have to store it in the garage on those cold night. That’s how the other one rotted out

Go to the darkside and do the tune... hitting 24psi all day long and so much fun... Mark's tunes are flawless!

Car has been back at the dealer since Tuesday cuz I did the alignment on it and the caster / camber was off so I wanted them to fix it. Now the sales manager offered to take the car back cuz he says they would have to change the shock absorber to fix it and who knows what else. I said either fix it or take it back but I don’t want a car that’s got bad caster.

So who knows maybe they’ll take the car back in the end. Supposed to let me know tomorrow

Very disappointed with the whole experience at the dealer (Montreal centre ville Volkswagen)

Is that standard in the car or an option?

It’s an option. I believe if you want the plug then you also have to get the fog lights because then the fog light cover is also changed at the same time

Will have to check, don't recall seeing anything there.
Thanks.

has anyone got suggestions for a complete set of adjustable coil overs. i'd want a drop that goes like 1 to 3 inch. no garbage thanks

I've been torn between the KW V1's, the Bilstein B14s, or the Konis. I'm not sure yet if i am going to put them in this year, since it's almost winter already, or for next spring. I also recently noticed that rockauto carries the Bilsteins so that's pretty cool.

thanks. ill look into them. i had tein SS on a previous car but they dont make them for this one. bilstein usually makes a pretty decent product

WOOT WOOT black friday specials. Rawtek complete exhaust ordered as well as malone stage 2 + DSG tunes

really excited to see the difference when it is all said and done

Breath in, and breath out!

Nice! I really enjoyed my malone stage 2 while i had it. How much louder is it with the intake?

Can’t say I really noticed a difference in sound after installing the intake to be honest. I already want to go stage 3 lol stage 2 ain’t enough hahaha

you had stage 2, did you go back to stock or did you go stage 3? If so, was there a noticeable difference between 2 and 3?

Neither. My commute got significantly reduced so I sold it to my sister and bought an A4.

She then proceeded to hit a deer with it a month after she got it.

Well, that sucks man.
