This was my map, it makes stock torque until after 2.5k then spikes up, when really a turbo diesel you want a big lump of torque at 1500rpm as i had on the previous car with the same engine! i knew the minute i looked at the graph it was going to drive horribly, they said just test it for a few...
my 182 van was exactly the same, just ordered an RS tuner and uploaded the 98ron map and its now spot on, best mod you can do to them imo, bit pricier than they used to be but at current exchange rate it worked out at £220 and that was including the ABS module added on that lets me read and...
Yeah they done me a map which the car drove like s**t, took it back various times they couldn't put it right, car kept going into limp mode, spent hours and hours in their waiting room, not ideal on a brand new motor so I got it flashed back to standard. They mapped my mates golf r and with 2000...
I had the k-tec centreline which comes with an all new mounting system to stop it sitting wonky after 2 days, it looked and sat perfect.
I had it fitted with a silenced decat and it was if anything too quiet but sounded like what the car should have sounded like from the factory which suited me!
I was watching this when it was on ebay and was tempted too! 1.6 16v is a cracking little engine, my ex bird had a ph2 dynamique 1.6 16v I remember chasing a focus ST170 in it and being all over it lol!
just fitted powerflex purple, the fit was perfect, like a glove! I also bought the febi Bilstein purely for the new nuts and bolts as the old ones got cut off in a rage. They also look really good quality, as good as genuine imo
As above, the bit that comes off the front half of the arch liner is missing (the bit that's cable tied above)
And also the felt cover is missing (I've not come across one since 2006!)
Had a bit of surface rust on the O/s suspension turret so I treated it and painted it today, much better. Turned out well so plan is to paint the bay next winter when the engines back out! I've got new top mounts on order hence the overspray lol
Also my ktec bend arrived so just need a smaller...
