Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    We Posti tap'ed my Mates Golf R, seems fine.

    I had ordered plugs from Audi (lambda side) and wire with pins, and also ordered the ECU side from china before I'd really worked out what the go was.
    China sent 4pin not 5pin plugs, so have to wait a week (ex UK).

    I think a few have done what Im trying to do, but its not cheap.... $115 for a plug and 5 wires/10 pins attached....

      Awaiting the Lambda Plugs to hook up AFR, then off to the Dyno
      Can you please keep me posted on how the JB4 goes. I may be looking at going down that avenue sometime this year

            Starting to plan whats next for the RS230 ..... but the 'minister of finance' has cracked it, so everything is on hold till march/April.

            Planning to order:
            Internal TPMS - TICK
            DashCam
            A huge Superskoda order
            Maybe Track wheels and tyres.
            Im keen to get the RS230 rims from superskoda, but will most likely go with some 2nd hand wheels locally

                So had a bit on this week.
                - Meet up with Spinifex to enable Video in Motion. Now I have to work out if I need to buy the JB4 wireless kit to display the gauge set...

                -TPMS arrived today, so got the sensors fitted at Toombul Bob Jane for a box of Beers, If you need anything to do with tyres, make sure you go there, I've been using them for 5 years!

                - On the Way home this afternoon, I hit 3000km.

                - Once home, mounted the Display and ran the RF wires.
                - 1 wire along the plastic sill cover and up the to rear door
                - the other behind the dash and in to the engine bay by the left front head light.
                This should give it a good signal.

                Off tomorrow to get a Fuse Tap and run 12V behind to the drop down bin above the drivers knee, so the TPMS has power.
                I've got an 4 way ciggy box, so will mount that inside.
                I was gutted to find the fuse box is not on the ends of the dash like I had read on Briskoda, but this will still work fine. Just have to run a longer cable.

                  Bit disappointing that its not really 0.1 PSI, more like 0.3/0.4 PSI.
                  So cant really get them all the same.

                    On a side note,
                    I think I've seen a couple of other RS230's around Brisbane, by only looking out for the black pipes....
                    Wish they were easier to see

                        Did some testing of the JB4, Stock/Map 1 & Map 2, and emailed to BMS, he was happy with the results, buts once I get the Lambda plugs I shall re test to see if the AFR are better, currently a little rich for my liking, but thats ok, rather that than lean....

                        As we have a Track day coming up, Thought I'd be safe than sorry...
                        So Popped in to Bunnings for a 1kg Fire Extinguisher (Dry Powder $15.80)

                        Installed with Cable ties in the boot via the cargo net hooks, seems to hold up for a lap around the block.

                          Got my wireless jb4 kit today, installed at work! Looks good.

                          Also got my lambda plugs from the UK, so made up a little jump loom.

                          And dyno booked for Wednesday

                            As well as sorting out the above, I've ordered a DTE pedal box thingy.
                            Should have by Friday, fingers crossed....

                              hey mate I also have the JB4 on my 16 VRS TSI. Did you get the display to come up on the Columbus?? How did u do this apart from the wireless unit? I thought it was only an app on android / iphone? Or are you using Mirror Link? Whenever I try and use mirror link on my android it always says no compatible apps found...
