I had a golf mk5 gti. It was meticulously maintained from new with the cam follower changed annually, filters and services done every 5000kms and it still had a thirst for oil. Fact of the matter is they use a lot of oil regardless. It's not an issue in my opinion, once you're monitoring it...
If its got an exhaust already then look at air intakes before heading for a remap. Don't forget brake upgrades go hand in hand with performance upgrades. Also make sure it's 100% serviced and if these have egr's that it's clean etc

It happened on my wife's altea. I learnt the expensive way. After that lesson, a few squirts of wd40 or some similar lubricant solved the problem.

Check that the fan blade/rotor is not stiff to turn. If the shaft is dry or the bearing is on the way out then the motor strains to turn it and the resistors end up going.

Question for all of you that have quoted mpg figures. Are you going by the OBC or are you manually calculating from brim to brim using litres and mileage between?

Nothing wrong with the car. My 2005 model does the same but my wife's 2006 doesn't. So I'm assuming it's changeable via vag com or similar?

To my knowledge you won't get 300bhp out of a k03. As has been mentioned, you'll need a k04 for that, along with a good few other modifications

You can ring and talk to him and see for yourself, absolute gentleman 00353879113843 if you're phoning from across the border.

If you want a professional job and are willing to travel to dublin you won't get better than joe power. He does custom live mapping on the rollers. No two maps are the same with him.
