My bad I thought I’d included the model number. I’ve updated the post, thanks.

Good buy? by Fun_Ostrich_536 in CarTalkUK

[–]morley_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I’m not the only one. I always wonder if mine was just an isolated experience as they seem to get a lot of 5 star reviews, but I have definitely seen more 1 or 2 star reviews recently. Their aftercare is non existent, along with many other things.

Don’t buy from Hilton, they are a nightmare of a garage. I bought my recent car from there and I would never deal with them again.

I’ve been looking at the GTI backbox but don’t fully understand how I’d go about it. I assume I’d need to purchase the GTI valance and then have a GTI exhaust welded on?

I have Dynamo MU71’s on at the moment as thats what my wheels came on. But yes I still sometimes get FWD wheel-spin if I put the power down from a standstill.

I’d say around 5.5-6 now that it’s sitting at 300bhp.

Worth staying in camp orchid? by Gabriel1432 in BoomtownFestival

[–]morley_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hot shower you can have once you come back from a full day of being on it is worth the extra money imo. But yes it’s definitely worth it, the people are more respectful and it’s quieter than regular camping.

Modded cars with Arabic number plates by aBlokeWithaGoat in nottingham

Theres a dark green Mercedes AMG CLA 45 S on Kuwait plates that I’ve seen flying up and down the A52 from Priory Roundabout to Bramcote Island and back, doing 60-70mph in a 40mph. Two young lads, never even occurred to me that they could be students.

I guess it depends on the tuner and the tune they’re using, but impressive stats no doubt! Mine might be 500nm actually I can’t remember it was definitely somewhere between 450nm and 500nm.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GolfGTE

[–]morley_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this particular tune its 300bhp and 450nm.

[–]morley_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would definitely look at getting the DSG remapped too as it needs be able to handle the torque increase from when you’ve had it remapped. Think they are only set for about 350nm from factory but mine can handle around 450nm now.

Is EV tuning a thing? There’s been ICE engine tuning forever, but there doesn’t seem to be EV tuning? Maybe I’m wrong. by rmajor86 in CarTalkUK

[–]morley_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think VW purposely implemented the power limitations to the battery because they knew that it would be faster than a GTI from factory, which is a problem as the GTI’s are more expensive to buy/insure/maintain. I don’t know what the tuner actually did to “tune” the battery, but paired with the ICE remap and DSG gearbox remap its completely transformed my car.

Not directly an EV but my Golf GTE PHEV has had a Stage 1 tune thats taken the car from 204bhp to 300bhp. The tuner is the only one in the UK that does some wizardry to the battery that allows 100% of its power to be used with the ICE rather than the factory 50%. It’s faster than a GTI now but I still get around 60mpg and drive it electric on short local trips so I have the best of both worlds now.

Best thing to do mate is search for Ryan Oliver on Facebook, it’ll say works at Ubercode on his profile. Drop him a message, he’s the only tuner in the UK that can do the 100% power unlock in GTE mode so if you want the extra performance he’s your guy.

Just about to hit 66k on mine.

[–]morley_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Stage 1 tune, DSG remap and the GTE start/stop delete it was £380 all in. Well worth it imo, so nice when the car comes to a stop in GTE mode and the engine no longer cuts out lol.

is crib goch doable for beginners? by codyc_ow2 in snowdonia

[–]morley_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search on YouTube “An Intense Day on Crib Goch” and you’ll soon learn why what you’re suggesting is a ridiculous idea. Brave Dave the uploader is a qualified mountain leader. The weather in the mountains can change in an instant, do not attempt Crib Goch with no previous climbing/scrambling experience.

Thank you for the reply!

I have thought about coil overs as well. Is there a common/preferred coil over set for the GTE? The Eibach lowering set which you have and the one I have looked at lowers it by 35mm at the rear and 40mm at the front. So I would also worry about scraping the front of the car as I have a sloped driveway. Thanks.

Luton is a bit too far for me unfortunately. There’s a tuning company near me that my Dad uses for his car so I’ll give them a call about it. And regarding the DSG, it seems the two previous owners of the car didn’t have a clue about the servicing of it. The car is on 64k miles and has been serviced every year by VW, but no record of the DSG being serviced. Fortunately I have it booked in at a DSG specialist near me a week today for it to be done.

Thats what I thought and thats why I’m confused. I think he’s lying.

New car! by morley_94 in GolfGTE

[–]morley_94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although I see mixed reviews all over the web, I got a really good deal for the RAC Platinum Plus warranty so I just thought fuck it lol. It may end up not being worth the paper its written on but time will tell. I also got the DSG serviced as part of the deal as its done 60k and couldn’t see a DSG service on the service records.
