No. But I’m not entirely sure where it is at the moment. If you’re interested I can look for it.

Steering wheel sold.

Bump. Open to offers, the parts are just sitting here begging to be used again.

Good point. I’m perfectly happy with it reading a little high as it’s designed. Reading low as it does now sucks though.

GPS. We knew the tires we were putting on were bigger and that the speedo would read low, just didn’t know how bad it would be. I’m familiar with German cars showing a few high and you just get used to it. Hers is about 5 LOW at 70.

Awesome. Thank you. I never searched vortex because last time I tried to read stuff on that site it seemed way to drama filled. Thanks again. Will be trying this soon I hope.

I forget the size difference but both cars are SEL so they have the 18s. Hers were pretty low profile compared to mine though.

I traded in my Passat a few weeks ago but before it went in we swapped the wheels/tires from the Passat to the GSW. She never liked how low profile the tires were on the GSW and how rough it rode. Anyways, the GSW SEL now has the Passat SEL wheels and tires and she loves them except that her...

Bump.

Traded the Passat in last weekend so the steering wheel with paddle shifters I installed (bought new from VW) is for sale along with the Tuner for Kerma. Kerma told me they would knock 150 off of the price of a new tune if someone already had the tuner. 100 for the Kerma tuner and 250 for the...

There were a few updates along the way and the latest one from a while ago got rid of the shudder straight away. The car took a few hundred miles to adapt and fully shine, but it’s been quite a joy to drive.

I’ve been quite happy with my Kerma tune. MPGs are quite a bit better on the highway as well. Not much else to say.

To each their own I guess. I hate sport mode. Makes it act like a gasser and rev too high. Then again, I work on locomotives that have a redline of 905 rpm, lol.

And this is where I feel the tune has shined the most. The nothing, nothing, oh crap here we go is gone. If the rpms are too low for the turbo to even function, I just drop a gear (which is where the paddle shifters really shine).

Not even close to EGT limit. My guess is pulled back for lack of shudder.

I’m not sure if the Malone tune worked the same, but it took until the first regency for the car to completely “wake up”. Up until the first regen it was pretty dead until 1800 or so and it now pulls nice from about 1400 in the lower gears. Feels like the torque is somewhat pulled back in 4th...

I just wanted to talk about my new tune. Lol.

The only true answer is the RNS-510 in my opinion. Any aftermarket setup is going to compromise the other car systems in one way or another. I tried with the Alpine ILX-107 and loved the radios functionality, but hated the integration in the car.

Funny thing is how it keeps getting better. Felt smoother and better this morning than it ever has yet. Now that my kids are pretty much grown I travel a lot more for work so when I travel, my car sits at work and I drive a mercury mariner, lol. Sure feels nice to get back in the Passat after...

I wish I could answer for you. I had noticible shudder with stage 1 originally and horrible shudder with the “beta” software he sent me. They honestly seemed hit or miss with email responses, but I’m persistent, without being too much of a jerk, and my issues were eventually resolved. They...
