It's all about type approval really. They are saying that when you alter the car from how it left the factory it won't have type approval so is technically illegal as all vehicles need type approval to be on the road. Would need an IVA test to then get type approval at £500 or what ever it is. As others say on other forums will be difficult to police and cost people jobs. Also on another forum someone did say its easy to police as at MOT time they can see it has mods so will fail it so taking it off the road. I think it's just Brussels trying to flex its muscles to control everyone, hopefully
You have to set them. As in push needle one way then release it ir something. It should be on the net sonewhere as I did it years ago when I did my ddi dials
Gotta agree with what matt says really. And I own a mk4 R32 lol Tho i wouldn't swap mine at all TBH. The mk5 GTI is a very able car indeed and very tuneable quite cheaply compared to the R. But it's your cash so get what you prefer. I'd let you try mine but it would ruin buying either lol
I'm 38 and had my first and only VR6 since 2005, had 5 yrs of good service and now need it off the drive once I get the last few saleable bits off it. Had my R32 turbo now since July 2010, and should of bought one years ago!!
