Getting an euro switch, and editing the bit out with VCDS will get them disabled. I did it a while back and it took longer to boot the computer than disable. You can disable the seat-belt chime while you are at it (yes I wear my seat-belt).

I follow the fastest cars but usually leave enough space so the speedy driver doesn't want to let me go ahead. I find the the speedy ones are more courteous and will think you want to go even faster so will move over... (at least I do). If I do 140 and someone wants to go faster why not... who...

As mentioned it goes to recirculate function when reversing. Another fun fact is that when you spray your windshield it does the same thing. Bot to prevent the smell from entering the cabin. Cheers, RS

1l every 16,000 km is quite fine

Just one word on Falken tire. I had the Falken FK-452 225/40ZR18 XL (92Y) and they were the most oval un-balance-able tires I have ever had. They had been hunter balanced and still were bad. I might have just had really really bad luck.

My uses more oil during the winter, and less during the summer. I'm not sure if you are experiencing the same thing.

Continental Extreme Contact DW or DWS had both and was very happy. I have the DW now and they really are grippy.

Haha, true and he can be quite ignorant sometimes, but for entertainment purposes he makes TG quite fun to watch.

I just want Clarkson back... and the car is pretty awesome too.

2006 Jetta here --- City driving is pretty bad on fuel economy (wide range between 6.5 and 8.2 depending on distance and temperature) with the car struggling to keep temps up. Highway speeds no issues keeping it between 5.5 - 5.8.

My 3rd is rough, but not as bad as yours sound, its basically the gear with most resistance to put it in.

Starts like any other day, just a lot more rattly the colder it gets. Only one glow plug cycle.

Those are great numbers! at 180 WHP that's over 200 crank.

The stock injectors flow very little. BEW injectors with nozzles or the PD150 injectors would be a good choice for the BRM engine.

I can attest for sure that driving is the quickest way to warm up. I also have the high idle tune from Malone, but I don't idle the car, I just drive it. Take it easy when its bloody cold also. I only go up to a max of 2300 RPM when cold.
