Looked at all the existing threads, but haven't seen an answer to this question: Have decided to go down the replacement chip route, but some threads say the speedo needs to be changed for a UK one. Why is that, what's the issue if I don't change the speedo straight away. Will it cause auto box problems with incorrect signals all over the place or what?. If it's just incorrect speed then I'm not worried about that as I can use my GPS. Also, I spotted a post that said changing the 33K R10 resistor to a 20K one will convert the speedo to a UK one. Anyone done this, did it work. Cheers folks, maybe soon I'll be able to answer questions rather than keep asking …

Hi Guys. I hope someone can help me? I own a UK spec TT. I know it has DIP-Dim headlights. I am about to fit HIDs for dipped & high beam. But, i have been told i need to disable the dip-dim circuit!

Or whether i can just unplug the box? A lot of people selling HID's, but no one can tell me correct install. :headvswal Regards Kev

When I floor my car the gauge goes to about .6 The in dash turbo gauge reads from -7 to +7 and when I floor the car it goes almost all the way to +7. Is there a problem.

My car has been at Anglia Engine Services for the past 2 months having a recon engine fitted and recon turbos. For the past 3 weeks its been little things like a gasket here, an engine mount there, and then the oil cooler was clogged up. Well, now the oil coolers been replaced and there were taking it for a test run when the engine management light apparently came on and they say its only running on 3 cylinders.

I want to have some ideas of my own to throw at them becuase Im losing confidence in there abili…
