    VAG Friendly Dyno in Brisbane

    I am wanting to take my FWD only VAG (MKV TDI Jetta) for a run on a Dyno before I do my next round of mods.
    Can someone please recommend a good Dyno company in Brisbane that is sympathetic to VAG owners who are on the mature side of life (over 50).

    I am not interested in getting a tune done, or to have products shoved down my throat, just get a baseline run on the Dyno with no hassles and then repeat the process a bit later when I have had some more work done (aka spent some money).

    Also I have read that some Dynos are not suitable for FWD only cars so this needs to be a consideration.

    I have also noticed it has been a long time since we had a Dyno Day.

    Any good ideas and or constructive comments would be appreciated

    Thanks in advance.

    Bayside performance (BPS Autos) at Russell Street Cleveland will do that for you. Not sure what they charge but if you give James or Dave a call they will give you a price. PH 3488 2911

    Harding Performance in Cooparoo has a hub dyno which is much more accurate than a rolling dyno and will be able to far better provide you with before and after figures that are not affected by (for example) tyre pressures or strap down tension between runs.

    Give them a call to see if they can help.

    I don't think Leon's at Coopers Plains is what I'd call a FWD dyno. They are a nice bunch but the dyno seemed to be setup more for RWD air cooled. The car got hot very quickly as they had no fan. If they had one, they certainly didn't use it.

    Sorry guys but work commitments last week made it impossible to get time for even a phone call.
    Weekends are better for me but no-one is open on Saturday mornings.
    Will try again this week and post my results.
