The great big MK6 Golf 118TSI tuning thread

[Ryan_R]

Day off tomorrow, so I'll get the clamps and what not tomorrow.
Then I have to drive in to work later this week to get it (won't be carrying it on the train)
I'll be doing the fit with a friend, so will do it at his next convenience.

Yes, from ECS.

Intercooler?

[Ryan_R]

Indeed it is.

So finally stopped umm-ing and ahh-ing and grabbed the s3 cooler today!! So hoping it makes it's way swiftly as I'm dying to get it in.

RyanR how long was yours in transit?

On the downside the cars in for it's 3rd replacement water pump and supercharger clutch replacement next Tuesday ( dealer reckons this is an actual fix not just a band aid like previous fixes) and the dealer is also replacing the heat shield under the bonnet that started eroding as well.

So on the downside I'll be waiting til that's done.

About 8, 9 days according to the post dates in this thread

Gents, just a quick question on hardware for the install- went down to reco today and asked for the parts for the s3 FMIC install and just released they have me 2 and 3/4 inch hose clamps and the right size bolts just with a socket head- will these units still be suitable, particularly the larger hose clamp?

I went to purchase some coolant from VW in preparation for the intercooler swap later this month and of course they were very suspicious as to why I'd need two bottles of G12++ for a MK6 Golf. When I mentioned that my radiator (as I described it) wasn't coping well in the heat, and 'after doing some research' found that the Audi S3 one was better and compatible, I just got a raised eyebrow and a "good luck with that".

Also looking at the Extended warranty PDS and it mentions the need to declare any mods (not sure if APR software counts as a mod, or if retrofitted accessories count).

So how have you guys been getting along with your dealer since upgrading?

Brisbane owners, if anyone gets a chance, I have a new prototype Carbonio that needs to be test fitted to a twincharger golf (to check for clearance) - If anyone can oblige.....?

If your open this Saturday I could possibly drive down from Tbar. I am running a forge intake atm. If the Carbonio fits can it please stay on my car?

Thanks Brendan, I'll shoot you a PM if I need to get your car thanks for the offer!
