    I had 2,000 km warning come up at just under 13k kms. I am running mine on "F" setting on the box.

    2015 Golf Malone Stage 2. DPF/EGR Delete with straight pipe

    Hat off to you good sir! I know what I am doing when the warranty is done! I just bought a 335d and our Golf GSW with the tuning box feels like a Prius comparing to that.

    Another aDDition to the family, the 335d

    Thanks! This was one of those barn finds. The guy also had in there a 1988 Toyota Supra with 8,000 original kms on it, it looked like it just rolled out from the factory floor. :eek: Same in Canada, it expired in 2013 as the car is a 2009

    Another aDDition to the family, the 335d

    Fella TDI owners, just wanted to share my excitement on another diesel purchase. Well, our MK7 GSW TDI just a got a new mature friend in the garage, the mighty BMW 335d. Its a 2009 but only with 7800 kms, a rare find indeed, it was owned by an older gentleman and parked in a heated garage...

    [Consolidated Thread] Active CR 12V Module

    x2 and I am running it in "F" dropped the car off for for the first oil change today. Took me all of the 15 minutes to remove the module and injector connectors :) Dealer warned me of ECM update. Will report back on how the new software reacts with the module.

    Thoughts on Light Package

    Don't even think about it, get it! You will spent WAY more by trying to retrofit the same package if you ever decide to upgrade stock lights.

    [Consolidated Thread] Active CR 12V Module

    I did not notice this and I do hand calculate my tanks. It was 0.5 liter per 100kms discrepancy between MFD readings and the actual tanks before the box and exactly the same discrepancy after the box was installed. I've had the box for 5k+ kms now, so there is plenty of data to prove it. So...

    [Consolidated Thread] Active CR 12V Module

    Have been running the latest version of the module in highest setting "F" for 5k kms now. No issues, no codes. Coming from Malone Stage 2 TDI, the power with the module is definitely there, just not as much as the dedicated tune. Also, Flashzilla is definitely a must, IMHO, if you want the tune...

    Your experience with the 6MT??

    1. they are cruise gears if the car is empty at sea level, I live at 1200 meters close to the mountains, with most of the time driving with loaded roof box. 5th and 6th become useless for spirited driving, I am sure for most folks its more than sufficient, just not for me. I still prefer the...

    Your experience with the 6MT??

    Very smooth transmission, easy to drive, wifey says its the best manual we had. My only two gripes with it: 1) super tall 5th and 6th gears 2) clutch engagement does not cancel cruise control

    What did you do to your MK7 today?

    4k kms kiteboarding trip to Oregon coast from Calgary, AB. Switched from 19" BBS to 17" Enkei Fujins with Dunlops Diriezza ZII for the comfy driving and better traction:

    GHoing from 225/40/18 to 245/40/18 (or 45) effect on Fuel economy?

    I lost about 0.5 liters/100 kms going from 225/45R17 to 235/35R19, but some of it is due to heavier 19" wheels stock 17" - 44 lbs full weight with tires 19" - 48.5 lbs

    H&R springs for MK7 Sportwagen TDI

    Aggressive! There is even a bit of a reverse rake with these springs. According to vwvortex, this can be fixed by installing Audi TT rear spring pads which are 7 mm thicker, should be very easy considering our rear suspension setup.

    [Consolidated Thread] Active CR 12V Module

    X2 no difference in MFA readout, I had 0.5 liter discrepancy between readout and actual calculated tanks before the module and the same 0.5 liter or LESS with the module. My 19" wheel setup had more impact on the fuel economy then the module, even though I drive more aggressively with it now...

    [Consolidated Thread] Active CR 12V Module

    I think I have the older version then, as mine is gutless after 3000 rpm. Will contact Joe as well then.
