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,

      Nice one! I'm keen to hear your impressions when you've taken it for a drive.

      I've spent ages playing with the EQ. setting to find what I think is optimal. I'll send it to you, if you'd like and like me, struggled to get good sound.

            That's a very apt description!

                I'd say it's an actuated flap that opens up a straighter path in the muffler for more exhaust volume under heavy throttle, or as part of the different driving mode settings.

                You can probably mod it so that it stays open all the time which would give the car a bit more note all the time, not just under WOT.

                • Hi Adam,

                  still on on my trip overseas and mine is waiting at the dealer. I'm interested in the fitting of the towbar. I also ordered mine with the towbar. Can you give a couple of pics. Looks great.

                  Thanks Wm7503

                    I have locked it up for the week while I am away and its the only angle I haven't got a picture of, there is no visible cut at it drops out of the bottom of the rear bumper so the only surface that has been cut faces the ground. Will post one late this week.

                    • Hi All,
                      Can someone tell me what sort of KW and NM increase I can expect from a Stage one ECU mod. All else remains factory std.

                      Thank you,
                      David
                      Ordered: 2017 build date Tiguan 162 TSI Highline with DAP in Tungsten Silver and rear luggage tray. ETA: late April / Early May. I did not have to wait. I took delivery on 11 March 2017.

                        Probably best to look up the gains from the various tuners on the Golf R. The engine is identical.

                              For a flash tune you can get 270-290kW and 400-420Nm depending on the tuner.

                              If you go with one of the tuning boxes (JB1, etc) it'll be a bit less, say around 250-260kW.

                              • You should be able to better that on the torque front. The stock Audi S3 engine is now 400Nm. APR stage 1s are close to 300kw/500Nm in the Golf R
