Took her over to TDI North last week for Uprev.

A bit close for comfort -

This was done primarily to improve driveability rather than looking for power.,(which was a good job as it was down a bit), and to add the valet mode/immobiliser facilities. The car definitely feels smoother and a little sharper.

Must say a big thanks to Paul and the guys at TDI for doing a great job.

I don't normally take any notice of fuel economy, but was pleasantly surprised completing a 400mile round trip and still having over quarter of a tank left!

Wow! If only I had that much time with mine.

 

Can you tell me where you got the seats retrimmed, and TDI North, is that Warrington? I'm looking for uprev and Warrington is only 20mins away.

 

Great job your doing there.

Got the seats done by Mondo (hide'n'seat) on this forum, top quality work and a great guy. You might've missed the boat, he ran a group buy on here a while back and is now pretty much fully booked up for the year (not surprisingly). He's based in Trimdon County Durham.

 

Yes, TDI North are in Warrington.

 

Thanks very much for the comments, there's a lot more to come in the next few weeks. Oh how I regret proclaiming "I'm not gonna mod this car" 😄

Much better, cleaner more modern look.
