New Bora 4mo Sport

[Bernoulli]

Yeah I was definitely looking out for the higher consumption - but then bundabora has chimed in saying he gets 8L/100km - now I'm jealous!

If this can be improved by a tune, I may have to take it to a VW specialist in Canberra to have a look at.

tunes always improve economy as it removes the factory fat from the fuel supply and makes everything to a tighter tolerance for the conditions you live in, maybe Gav who deals with Custom Code tunes will drop in and give some thoughts

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

Looking a bit further on ECS, the silver/brushed aluminium replacements are a fair bit more expensive - so will probably replace with black. Found most of what I was after though. Couldn't find the door handles so will check out eBay.

I plan to replace the stock head unit with a double DIN, do I need to buy any bracketing/frames etc?

I bought these ones about a year ago (although i think they only cost me $70)

You'll need a cage to mount it in.. I'll look up the part number later. The frame included with the head unit should integrate it nicely.

Hey. I only get 8.0 / 100 on a highway drive with a little city... But I would recommend a custom code tune. Instant improvement. around town completely is more like 10.5...

Hey mate, did you have any joy with this? I've Googled this a fair bit but haven't found anything conclusive.

I'll be looking into this - since I'm not knowledgeable on this type of thing - can I take the car to a VW specialist for this or do I have to find somewhere which does specialises in tuning?

With regard to a tune the main benefits are on turbo petrol and diesel but there are still benefits for normally aspirated engines, a VW dealer will not provide a "tune / ECU flash" I would contact Gav at Custom Code for a no bull take on a tune for your car it may have value.
