    oh does anyone know bout getting timing belt done. a mechanic tells me that if u r doing the timing belt u must plug her into a computer to know how much to alter the timing. i thought that if u took the belt off of the teeth and lined her up straight putting it bac on u can't go wrong coz if ur a tooth out ur way out.

    Most (good:)) mechanics would use a camshaft locking tool designed for the 1.9tdi. This prevents the timing being altered. Plugging into a computer sounds like horsesh1te!

    Hows it going. I came across this post while trying to find some feedback on ecu remaps. I can't find any one that has had it done over a year or 2. I have a 2.0tdi golf mk5 and I’m very close to getting it remapped with the upsolute guy in killarney. I have spoken to him a few times on the phone and he seems to know his stuff. I'm only just learning the basics when it comes to anything past the stats of an engine.
    Upsolute in killarney said they would reinstall the remap for free if the main dealers flashed it out during a service. So that’s that little hurdle sorted. They also remove the software from your car and email it to Austria. http://www.upsolute.com/ so they can over lay the remap over your cars original software. So my remap won’t be a generic one, which pulls me a little closer to remapping.
    The thing I’m most worried about is that I will be driving this car for a long time. It has 60,000 miles on the clock and is rising fast. If I get it remapped will I be seeing a lot more trouble than normal when I get to 120,000- 150,000.
    Question – what can a remap effect in an engine.
    I know the turbo life gets shortened if the boost pressure gets changed. The clutch can go a little faster. Ye were all talking about the fly wheel. I might have that one sorted because there is a recall for my car for the flywheel that I have yet to use so I’ll be getting a new one before the remap.
    So back to my point. Is there anyone out there that has owned a remapped car for a few years or more and has clocked up a lot of mileage on it.

    If so then please reply. I need more power but can't afford a new car.

    Cheers..
