Mutare23, is your Tiggy a manual? Seems like people with the manual get more out of the tuned engine.

Team V, how much time did you 'spend' on Stg1 before going Stg2?

About 6 months i believe.
Ths tune wiht a DSG would be awesome, first gear is too short to use effectively with all that power.

Mine is a DSG and you are right. First seems to be very short indeed, but at the end of the day thats how it comes so, so be it. The difference is quite obvious from the get go and makes driving even more enjoyable.

I havent tried out launch control yet and reckon I wont do it too often.

Will be interesting to see how the fuel economy goes. Due for a drive to Melbourne soon and will be interested to see how the fuel economy goes. Bit hard to make an assessment yet as I have had trouble keeping the smile off my face and my foot off the firewall

Cheers

700ks to Melbourne. Set the cruise at 119 for 90% of the trip. Fuel 8.0l per 100 kph. No complaints from this old fella

Wow, that is pretty good fuel economy.
Is your's the 7 Speed DSG?

Mine takes a bit of a hit over 110.

Does bringing ur car for service at another VW service centre or private service centre void the warranty? My 30,000 is due soon too.

Just wondering if theres a better engine oil or any other stuff that I should put other than the 'standard' oils they use? Or is their engine oil etc pretty good stuff already?

Mine's a diesel.

DSG.

Noticed that it improved about four points over the last 60k or so into Melbourne when speed limit drops to 100k (109kph on the GPS, indicated 114kph) and then the run around the Western Ring road, which for a very welcome change, flowed pretty well.

Cheers
