APR and Revo are the most popular I'd say, then theres superchips and custom code that all give good results :smiley:

I hate that, I had a new engine after 4 months of ownership and hated when someone pulled up next to me whilst in the rental, things I would have done to be in the Ed30 then  :fighting:

Still happens now  :sad1:

Cant wait to get another decent car, was thinking cooper s but may push a little more in and go for a standard GTI DSG. If your really that fussed about the car, take it back to VW and kick up a fuss and they will sort you a Golf out. I did, tried fobbing me off with a 1.2 Polo..managed to get a brand new Jetta from them.
