Alun, take the cover off the engine,
followed by the airbox, and you'll see it!!!
clean it out using a cloth, then start the car and get someone to rev it.
the butterfly will open, which is when you spray inside using carb cleaner
carb cleaners a bottle you can buy from halfords for bout £6.

Here you go!

[Select]
[55 - Xenon Range]
[Basic Settings - 04]
Group 001
[Go!]

Wait at least 20 seconds for the headlamp motors to move.

Scroll up to Group 002. The Xenon Range controller has now learned this position as its Home position.

Click the [Done, Go Back] button and you're all set.

Here are the results from when i had my Polo Gti.





It pushed out 13 Bhp over standard.






Which i thought was not bad as all it had done to it was a Bmc with custom pipework.





And a full Powerflow Stainless steel system with a decat pipe

Remember to check all fluid levels and fill with V Power (Dunno if it makes much difference but i used it anyway)

And then post up results

Is the first figure 136bhp?!

Where about mate ?

The first figure on the Bhp sheet is 22. ? bhp

And the last is 138.2 bhp

I'm aiming for 126bhp, allowing one for the BMC. I will be disappointed if under 125 but the positive side of that means I know it should be faster

Ok I've completely forgotten, is the standard 125bhp at the Flywheel or the wheels?
