1998 a3 1.9tdi 110: Well i have started all over again with a new car. Just got rid of my e39 528 to buy someething more sensibe and economic as a run about and two weeks in and im already modifying it( I have a 2000 carrera 2 911 for fun as well and this is just meant to be a daily runner)
The shocks were knackered when I bought it so they were replaced with a coilover kit almost straight away. The alloys on it then looked out of place so I have a second hand set of 17" TT alloys on their way from ebay to sort that.
I am now looking at the possibilty of a remap or tuning box as well just to make it a bit more driveable. Any feedback on tuning boxes? Dont want to spend a fortune, so wold either be that or a simple postal ECU remap. I have had the remap done a couple of years ago on my Seat leon 1.8tvt and it made a noticeble difference, but not sure how much of a difference it makes on the 1.9tdi engine
