    REVO Stage 2 CEL

    Golf EGR valves

    Hi guys, Apologies for the newbie question but I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere! I've been reading up a little on exhaust gas recirculation and was wondering what golf engines, if any, have this feature? Surely it's taking performance away from the engine and turbo in exchange...

    Stock audio upgrade

    Hi guys, I know there are quite a few threads about doing things to the sound system but I'm a total newbie to audio equipment so wanted tailored advice. I'm running the stock sound system without the optional upgrades. The sound is better than in my old car, but just a bit flat. I've played...

    Traction control too restrictive?

    Hi guys, I recently saw a thread by SHFT http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7041 where, via vagcom, the esc button function could be altered. Having had a play with it, I'm stuck between two modes. In normal mode, the traction control kills any spin and slows down acceleration...

    Stage 2

    Hi guys. How long does it take for stage 2 to come out after stage 1 usually? Waiting here patiently for any news from apr or revo but seems like they're still developing hardware which other manufacturers already are selling :S

    Soundaktor removal

    Hi guys, I saw a vid about how to remove the soundaktor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf5RJY9Kx68& I'm a little confused about what to unplug though? Firstly, is it the circular thing to the left of my photo which is the soundaktor? Secondly, which wire do I unplug? 1 or cluster 2? Thanks

    Traction control button backlight

    Hi guys. I was just playing about with my car and tried turning off the esp/traction thing on the centre console by the gearstick. When every other button is activated, there's an orange backlight making the button glow, but when I press the traction button, there's no light. Just a symbol on...

    Benefit of start/stop

    Hi guys, It would appear that more and more cars are equipped with start/stop (more's the pity) I was wondering if anyone knew of a study which worked out how long you needed to stop at the lights before the stopping of the engine became beneficial to consumption. By that I mean that the energy...

    Road closure nav advice

    Hi guys, Travelling on the UK motorways in the early hours means that often sections are shut for maintenance. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the satnav this! It kept trying to tell me to do a u-turn and return to the motorway, which was closed! Am I missing a button somewhere...

    Hi everyone, I just joined the forum today after looking at it for months with great interest. I've recently taken delivery of a golf gti, which is quite an upgrade on my old car! It's running in nicely and becoming a little looser slowly but surely so I'm hoping to improve it and personalise...
