Snail Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Firstly welcome Bera. Nice choice of motor, i think you'll be very happy with her. The VW TDi (and PD Engines) are very tunable, and thus you have lots of mods available to you. Lots of people in the diesel forum have their cars chipped, which gives around 20bhp more, plus more torque, and possibly better economy. Have a look through the diesel forum, and you'll see names like AMD, APR, Revo, Superchips, Oettinger, plus many others, all who offer great solutions to chiping. Also more sporty suspension is a popular upgrade, as VW/Audi's are built more with comfort in mind, and with a little help, you can have almost as much comfort, without the car driving like a barge. Have a look round, ask questions, theres lots of friendly helpful people here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Welcome Bera, Snail has given some good advice above, what type of upgrade were you looking for, performance or styling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear100 Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Thanks for the replys. well i dont really know, ive always been a bit worried about using chips in case they ruing the engine (the most expencive part) styling i think is a bit safer. is there much of a choice of wheels? or spoilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Being a VW, you have more choice of wheels than you can shake a stick at. I believe anything for a golf will fit yours, so thats 17", 18" at a pinch, and 19" if your up for some arch mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
