    Cool Caddy and chips?

    Any one chipped their tdi caddy?
    Interested to see if any one has and what they experienced?
    Also if the Caddy is built on a Golf, does anyone know if suspension and stabilizers are same as golf?

    Hi Pete

    What I can tell you is the Golf does not have that Caddy's mini block springs & telescopic shock asborbers other than that I believe some of the components are shared with the Golf

    Hi Pete

    I have my 1.9 tdi Caddy Life chipped and I am very happy with the results. We had a 2.0 tdi Golf and traded it on a GTI for my wife and I bought a caddy life as my work car plus back up family car. I have 4 other caddys + 3 polos in my work fleet. The power of my chipped caddy life is close to my old 2.0 tdi golf and is returning better fuel economy than stock .

    Regards John
    PS I went for the Oettinger flash in both Caddy and GTI

    thanks for the info John, I will investigate the "flash" treatment in Melbourne.
    I was also considering some better stabilizers as my van runs fully loaded all the time with my communications gear and stuff flies around when i corner too hard.I forget im not in my GTI sometimes.
