Cheers dude, yeah it's just a case of keeping an eye on things now. I've given it the beans on a few occasions to try and emulate the conditions that it misfired under before, and it just boosts hard and takes off without drama. Here's hoping we're all sorted.
r5gtt:
I reckon you've hit the jackpot and you'll be fine now mate :jumping:
I can't wait to get my car back if at all so I can carry on with all the craziness I started but no idea how long these claims people are going to prolong the claim as the longer they delay thr more ££££ in their pockets.

Yeah my problems certainly pale in comparison to yours. Must be soul destroying
Guess you've just got to cling on and bite your lip til it's reached a conclusion. Just think though, once it's all sorted you'll be able to jump right back on the mod wagon and build that Stage 2+ beast!
Trust me on this, if you're used to stock power you'll be in absolutely in love with a good 2+ setup. I bet your old TT was quick, but the differences between a tuned k03/k03s 1.8T and a tuned k03 TFSI are really quite noticeable. The TFSI feels so much stronger. I went round Oulton Park in a k04 engined (BAM) mk1 Octavia track car a while ago, running 280ish, and it was much more comparable in terms of grunt to my GTI than any k03/k03s 1.8T car I've owned or driven in the past. And I'm still on a Stage 2 map.
Hang on in there mate, it'll be worth the hassle in the end!
r5gtt:
Tbh with you my tt was quick but the reason I've jumped on the tfsi mod route is because I know 280bhp will be a lot more stronger than the tt's 265bhp as I won't be dragging around a quattro diff which made the tt lose at least 20hp if not more.
just got to see what the engineer says re repairs or write off and I repair as I'll do a better job of repairing my own car and will do it properly. once front end is off do al the trimmings in the bay rip the inlet off and whack the RS4 fpv in along with inlet clean RFD and off we go. :grin:
