What would you suggest?

gilesk · 30-10-2006, 15:33

I have a 2.0 TDI DSG combi elegance and I would like to do some things to it, I love the car but these are some ideas I had from reading posts

1: Upgrade to 18 wheels instead of 16's I have
2: Springs
3: Air Filter
4: Remap
5: Air intake

Any idea how much these would cost and which ones would you do first ? or some others? I heave heard that the DSG limits what can be done with the engine. I do not want to track race just perk it up a bit. Thanks in advance.

1- I'd say 17's look better but that is a personal opinion.
2 - IIRC the sports suspension is a £600 dealer aftermarket option and IMHo are great.
3 - Just keep changing the paper ones every 10k, cheaper and maintains warrenty.

4/5 no idea mate sorry.

Thanks cheesy Monkey, might think about the Sports Sus , that would be half my budget, I do a lot of miles though and the roads here are cráppy, good advice for the Filters, thanks for the advice.
