  1. Brake Advice

    I've done DS2500's on stock discs and no cooling, on road they are fine even if pushing on, they do fade on track when pushing hard as the stock set up doesn't really have enough heat rejection capability - they would survive better with the audi ducts - on track I was seeing brake temps north...
  2. 370mm Brembo Brakes and 18 Inch Wheels

    They will fit with ATS GTR wheels, its tight but they will go. Suspect it will also work with a Team Dynamic prorace 1.2 or 1.3 as they have massive amounts of clearance (I've seen people running a 360mm rotor on 17s and 378mm on a 18s however with package optimised motorsport calipers). I've...
  3. Cupra DSG or Manual

    what he said.... heel and toe gear shifts in the 280 all the time and i've had no remapping etc.
  4. Cupra DSG or Manual

    I went for a manual 280 from my old 184fr, drove the DSG and manual preferred the driveablity of the manual - didnt like the low speed tip lag time of the 290 DSG (this annoyed me alot) I drove plus i'm old school and like doing manual heel and toe rather than letting the car do it for you ! i...
  5. 2016 spec display on a 2014 car

    any more details on what he had to do? or what else was required to complete the upgrade?
  6. Odd engine stutter..?

    noticed that on mine when i had my 184 as well. Regen frequency was ridiculous. transition at 3500rpm is driven by a change from single pilot injection to main only injection... 184ps EA288 Diesel VAG engines across the board do this. NVH in cold / part throttle is shocking bad as well. i put...
  7. 2013 diesel leon fr rattle

    the EA288 VW engine suffers a lot from balancer shaft drive rattle. when i had my FR184 it did the same. They have no rattle control mechanism on the balancer drive.
  8. Tyre pressure monitoring retro fit

    no doubt the system ultimately works but personally would like a secondary measure of confirming if its a false alarm or real event.
  9. Time for new tyres! FR184

    PS4's all the way, you've made the right choice, went for them after having conti SP5's on my last 184. loads grip in the wet and as almost as much grip as a pilot super sport in the dry. initial turn in was a hell of lot better on them as well. on my 184 (stock manual) did 25k on them and they...
  10. Tyre pressure monitoring retro fit

    That's exactly what i'm talking about mate, seen its possible with using VAG parts. Had mixed experience with ABS based system, few false alarms, few times its needed a fairly large pressure drop to activate it (seems to be fairly common after a little bit of searching). main reason for...
  11. Tyre pressure monitoring retro fit

    so after doing a bit of google searching it seems like its possible to retro real tyre pressure monitoring to the 5F (i did wonder why you get the pressure unit option in the set up menu): there is a video on youtube but i can't post the URL yet :( would like to do this to my Cupra when i...
  12. VCDS - How To Guides - MK3 Leon 5F

    awesome thread ! I'm pretty new to this, had an FR184 previously but never really tinkered with it but now had a ST Cupra and will be doing a few mods detailed in here. I have a question, does anyone know if it possible to add anything like boost, oil pressure etc into the FIS? wondering if...
