Title: The Jettwhore!!
Post by: Dannyboy88 on September 28, 2011, 09:45:39 pm: Well as some of you might have seen me saying i have a jetta well here it is, i sold my polo :( but with that gone it let me move on to bigger and better things, so about 3 week ago i picked up a 2006 jetta 2.0 tdi sport with 49k and full vw service history and timing belt and water pump done, had afew ideas going round my head and wasnt sure what i wanted to do with the car modding wise.

Well here it is once id picked it up

Then after browsing the net for hours looking for wheels i finally found a set that i wanted so went and got them.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Faa348%2Fdan_dub88%2F9f9c7b11.jpg&hash=62e5e0c35a870fcb7fcede35c41516b82ed3e193)

After id picked the wheels up they didnt go anywhere near the car till i'd bought some coilovers so the hunt went on for the coilovers, in the end i went for some fk ak streets, once they'd arrived it was a couple of days wait before a friend could fit them for me but what a difference it made when it was all sorted.

Work in progress
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Faa348%2Fdan_dub88%2Fc89bf012.jpg&hash=0f1893b4777f3d2bdff59f58761c3cb619bab866)

His Jetta's just gone and he's replaced it with a new daily.
Your Jetta sorta' reminded of his. Very underrated car.

You must've done well to find those wheels? I haven't see many about.

One of your turbo pipes is off mate, When I had my hybrid put on it did this exact thing loads of black smoke and wouldn't boost properly, would also go into limp mode...

Get your turbo pipes looked at especially the small 90 degree one coming out of the turbo onto the metal intercooler pipe.

Title: Re: My jetta tdi … Update
Post by: Dannyboy88 on December 11, 2011, 12:22:38 pm: Took the jetta to get remapped yesterday got a before and after dyno. On stock it produced 151bhp so 11bhp more than quoted from factory, then after the map its 185bhp so a nice step up.

I consider the EGR delete as a preventative mod as opposed to a performance one. You won't see any gains but you are less likely to lose power and cause other issues as time goes by when everything gets clogged up :happy2:

Post by: Dannyboy88 on August 30, 2013, 09:41:41 pm: It didnt take took long fitting the coilovers but we took our time doing them, could have them done in 2 hours or less i reckon, getting the struts out of the hubs wasnt too bad, just sprayed some grease on them and used a chisel to widen the gap where the strut locator tap goes and it came out with afew knocks with the hammer.

Post by: davew255 on December 12, 2013, 09:15:27 pm: Danny, I'm new here but interested in your seats conversion: I've put Audi A6 S-line heated seats in my Skoda Octavia. Wanting to connect up the heated elements and bought a car wiring loom and new climatronic panel, but turns out the Audi seats seem to use a different system of controlling the seats. On VWs/Skodas there is a 'heated seats control module' under one of the seats, but nothing on my Audi seats, seems I need one of these modules and a mini wiring loom under each seat.

Did you ever get your heated seats heating: I'd be really interested if you have done or have any words of wisdom!

What are the three switches next to ESP? All mine are blank just curious
Blank button stickers - looks like eject, missiles and "ludicrous speed"

That's correct :signLOL:

The A5 feels like its in a different league compaired to the jetta lol.

Yeah i've got a custom exhaust planned already, dummy dpf then just straight all the way back, if its too loud hes told me he can put a mid box in to make it abit quieter lol, also planning to have it mapped the day after i get the exhaust done so i can enjoy both mods together should be looking at around 300bhp with the exhaust and remap.

Yeah stage 2 and a good system will reveal 300hp fairly easily I'd have thought, judging by the YouTube vids I've spent way too long watching :laugh: :grin:?

What's it like on fuel in real terms?
Presumably you've running the dual clutch semi-auto box (DSG equivalent)?

Look forward to seeing some pics and thread/blog either way :happy2:

Its a manual the one i've got. Its not a new one its a 57 plate.
Fuel wise its not that bad to be honest, i travel 50+ miles a day to work and back so im on the motorway all the time, it costs about £70 to fill and im getting around 500 mile to a tank, i can average between 42mpg to 50mpg (according to the trip computer) but then if you give it the beans around town it will soon drop to 25mpg to 32mpg.

Ah yea, TBH the new ones are extortionate for what they are.

That's neat and tidy on fuel! You're very nearly reeling the same figures as my FWD CR170 (Revo'ed) give or take a couple here and there, so I think that's impressive for a V6 unit. I can get 60mpg on a longer run while driving gingerly, but as with most driving, journeys are usually below 30 miles so it sits around the 44-58mpg mark depending on where and how spirited.

To the Ring' and back, I got 720 miles from one tank brim-to-brim, 55 litre tank.
I reckon yours would have managed 600-620 on a steady cruise without too much trouble on the same journey, perhaps bit better once mapped :smiley:

I'm getting the vibes yours wouldn't be much more to run than mine at all - which is useful to know with another 70hp and 150 or so torques standard :party:

You think the clutch will be fine once you're in the 650nm mark? :innocent:

From what i've been reading on the A5 OC Forum the gearbox/clutch is ok for 780nm so it should be fine.
Just had alook through your build thread and i've noticed you've got the wheels on i've been looking at but i've been looking at them in 20" , also been looking at S5 brake setups aswell but they can wait for now.

Good stuff.
Haha you'll probably need to remortgage for 20"s. 18x8's are £800 new without tyres, 19"s around a grand. Even used 20"s, the market must start at £1400 ish for CKs, no? :scared:

How's the spec in yours?
Keen to see pics man :party:

Theres a set ive seen that are very cheap on ebay due to having 2 cracked repaired.

Mines a sport so no S-Line bumpers or anything, its got full heated electric leather, satnav etc. I've got a friend with Vagcom so hopefully going to activate a few little extras.

Only picture i've got i think.

Post by: th3_f15t on May 03, 2015, 11:28:22 am: I'd avoid cracked rims like the plague, regardless of how well they may of been repaired. Seen a few cases of repaired alloys failing shortly after because you just can't repair the structural strength of an alloy once it's cracked.

RS style grille and you'll be laughing. Got suspension/wheels/etc in mind, the usual mental prep plan? :rolleye: :smiley:

Don't think I could buy a car anymore without knowing what mods I'm going to do first.
How's it drive and how's it been on fuel?

Yeah just saving at the moment to hopefully get the exhaust and map done then move onto wheels and suspension.

I'm really happy with how it drives, im getting 480+ miles to a tank so im happy.
