Got mines a stage 1 remap best £300 I've ever spent. 3rd keeps going longer and 4th has way more torque. I have no plans to ever sell. Just do more to it.
Hi Mike. I have enjoyed your GTD videos and have actually learnt some things from them. Looking forward to the acceleration tests you said you'll publish at some stage. I've had my GTD for 3 years now and have done 45K in it. I look forward to every single drive and it's such a complete all rounder, I do wonder why I don't see more of them on the road. I'll be off to Scotland soon to tackle the Applecross and the A9 on the way to John O'Groats. They should be some fun days. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the comment and yes, I'll be getting onto the acceleration tests soon, it should be interesting :) Glad you've picked up a few bits and enjoy the Applecross Pass and A9. Great fun in a GTD!
DSG makes driving much less fun for me. DSG might be easier in traffic, but there's nothing like getting manual gear changes right, and smooth on the open roads. It's so much more satisfying. Plus, there's higher servicing costs with DSG, and lower reliability.
Hi Mike ..great video ! As Ive mentioned previously I have a mark 7.5 GTD and honestly I love her …it is also a seven speed DSG which I find great but I have never driven a manual one …I turn start stop off as I find it annoying. Are you considering a mark 8.5 GTD as this will be the last the Volkswagen produce ?
Appreciate the effort and time you put into making the GTD content. Keep them coming! Could you show us in the next video how you start the vehicle? I have been told recently to flick the ignition, allow the lights to show on the dash and disappear to then proceed to start the ignition. I never use the start - stop feature. I disable it the start of every journey/commute. Could you also tell us what oil brand you use, what fuel you use. Also if you would ever consider a stage 1 remap. I have heard it does wonders for fuel economy and a little extra boost. Increasing BHP to around 220. Many have said the stage 1 makes the car, perfect.
Thanks @AX91X ...more on the way. I'll add in the start sequence I use as well. I have thought about a remap, but been put off by the extra insurance. Maybe I will take the plunge, we'll see. Thanks for watching.
Keep it , please keep it. The mk7 will be a classic 1 day i truly believe that. The mk8 is SUCH a let down compared to these cars. If your able to find a way to put it in corner somewhere i think itll be worth it.

Thanks for the comment. I'm enjoying my manual at the moment - I really only moan about it when I'm in traffic!

Cheers David, thanks for watching again. I remember your car being a DSG, lovely. The 8.5 does look sleek and tempting, we'll see...
