Hey guys, found the watercooled forums via vwgolf.net.au.
Recently been added to VW ownership, just purchased an arthricite (sp?) grey, 12/08 Jetta 2.0L TDI with DSG, road worthy done and registered today which was a lot of fun. The car has only traveled 42,000km and still has 18months remaining on the factory warranty, so its still feeling pretty new to drive.
Already interested in its first mod, bluefin/superchips has piqued my interest, not so much for the power gain, but rather the owners seem to report part throttle response is quite smooth/linear, getting rid of what little turbo lag it has. Combined with the reported leaner running, will probably head down that way after the DSG service comes up soon.
Bit late for pics tonight, but Ill grab some tomorrow.
Only one question at the moment, how do you mk5 owners have your number plates mounted to the front? in having a look at mine I was pretty shocked to find that they simply used a couple of self tapping/tek screws and put it right through the front chrome bumper section. Seems like a pretty shoddy way to fix a numberplate to a car? Did they originally come with some kind of mount from the factory? or is it pretty much a case of fit it any way you can?
